VC++ in windows2000 platform

[Ricky Chong]

I am using VC++ 2005 professional edition to develop the program to access
the usb port. I have downloaded the WDK 6001, but it can't be installed in
the windows2000 platform. I have try to use libusb.lib, but it seems doesn't
support the windows platflat(I'm not sure, but i can't compile the program).
I want to ask do there any method to access the usb port in windows2000?
Anyone can help me?

Thanks,

Ricky

Hi Ricky!

I am using VC++ 2005 professional edition to develop the program to access
the usb port. I have downloaded the WDK 6001,

WDK and VC2005 are completely different systems!
You must not use VC2005 and WDK together!

Hi Jochen!

Thank you for your reply. But I find that there are some usb library to
access the usb port in WDK, can I use those library in VC2005? Or any other
library can be used?

Thank you!

You cannot "access the usb port". You can communicate and control the host
controller and USB-attached devices, but the method for doing so is
different for each device.

What are you trying to do?

Dear Ben Voigt .

Actually I want to develop a application program in windows to communicate
with the USB driver interface. The interface is built with the USB driver IC
PDIUSBD12D. I need to retrive and send data from and to the USB driver.

Thank you!

Ok, when you are on the computer side, the driver/receiver terminology is no
longer used and will confuse most software folks. Use device and host, or
microcontroller when referring to your device.

That USB interface chip has programmable device descriptors. What device
class are you claiming to be? Are you still trying to determine that?

Dear Ben Voigt,

Thank you for your answer!
Do you mean I need to build the driver on computer side? How can I bulid it?

Thanks,

Ricky
