Re: Loading USB driver @ boot

The way I read it they can change NK, just not later upgrade it. He can change the boot hive (which you can only do if you create the NK). Once he ships the device he can't update NK anymore. At least, that's how I understand it...

Another way is just to unload the entire USB stack, then set the registry to point to the dll on the USB drive (when it is already mounted) and then reload the stack.

Code that shows you how to reload the stack is in one of my previous posts, here: http://groups.google.co.nz/group/microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder/browse_thread/thread/d9bf179790e115f8/0f164c0eaf67ab1c?hl=en&lnk=st&q=usb+unload+group%3A*windowsce*+author%3Amichel+author%3Averhagen#0f164c0eaf67ab1c

If I follow this correctly, changing the nk.bin isn't possible. So you could use the HIVE registry, that I hope you have. change the name of the new version of the driver and change it in the registry, now it should work with your system path change pointing to your NOR flash.
