Re: USB device driver resources

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

And you should download or get from a Microsoft distributor a copy of
Platform Builder of the appropriate version to match your target device (if
it's WM5, it's running CE5.1, so you'd want Platform Builder 5.0). There
are some sample drivers for external USB devices in there that might be of
suitable types to help. Since few WM5 devices can be USB hosts, there just
isn't much call for what you're doing.

OK, so the WM5 device has USB host support (most do not have that)? What
sort of a class driver are you trying to write? That is, what sort of
device is the external device to which you're connecting the host port on
the WM5 device?

I'm developing a USB device driver for an USB Slave device on a USB Host
device (WM5). Everything clear? ;-)

Or
your device has USB device support (it's at the other end of the cable
from
a PC), and you want it to appear to be various types of devices,
depending
on the situation (storage, modem, ActiveSync/RNDIS device)? Remember
that
the two ends of USB are *not* like a serial connection, where each end
is
essentially the same as the other...

Dear List!

I'm being involved in development of an USB device driver for Windows
Mobile 5.

At the moment I stuck at where to start. I've setted up an Acer N300
with
USB Host and also got the simple device driver example on MSDN running
(CE
Testkit over ActiveSync). I've also looked at the sources of the serial
device driver - it is pretty informative - but I'd appreciate any kind
of
guide or howto on developing an USB device driver for Windows Mobile 5.

The documentation on MSDN is pretty sparse since I'm missing several
information like which .lib to link against, how to initialize the USB
device, ...

Is there a howto or guide in this topic available?

Thanks in advance.

Sebastian
