You still can not use WinUSB for those who want to use libusb-0.1/libusb-win32. An option is to use libusbK driver (Zadig supports WinUSB, libusbK and libusb-win32 device driver) which will work for both libusb-win32 and libusb-1.0/libusbx. BTW, a good news is that libusb/libusbx will be merging again. Peter Stuge is too busy so that Nathan takes over the libusb project and now libusb/libusbx will merge again. This should remove some confusions. http://libusb.6.n5.nabble.com/libusb-and-libusbx-merging-td5712044.html -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ OpenOCD-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
