Abstract:
To disclose a technique for providing a generic USB driver.
More particularly, a generic USB device driver architecture is described which enables development through user-mode USB library that accesses a generic kernel-mode driver. In a described embodiment, a method includes loading a kernel-mode generic device driver in response to a plug-in event of a device.
