WinUSB and libusbK cannot be used to set a device configuration that is different from the first one.WinUSB cannot be used to send an actual reset command to an USB device.In a future version of libusb, we should provide better handling of native Windows events, but this will require a redesign of the libusb API, so it probably won't occur before libusb 2.0. Development Considerationsīecause Windows does not provide a native poll() function, and cygwin is the only development environment that provides such a call, the use of libusb file descriptors with poll() on cygwin is NOT supported. However the support of libusb-win32/libusb0.sys (especially the filter mode) is not working well now, therefore you should not use libusb-win32/libusb0.sys for now. One way to install/update libusbK.dll is to install libusbk development kit (libusbK-x.x.x.x-setup.exe from Sourceforge site and choose to update the system files during the installation. Note that if you install the libusb-win32 driver manually, you will also need to install the libusbK DLL, as all libusb-win32 accesses are done through it.

For 1.0.21, usbdk is a compile-time option, but it becomes a runtime option from version 1.0.22 onwards, so you need to specify the usbdk backend using something like the following. usbdk provides another driver option for libusb Windows backend. For version 1.0.21 or later, you can also use usbdk backend.Alternatively, if you are only interested in WinUSB, you can download the WinUSB driver files and customize the inf file for your device.Recommended: Use the most recent version of Zadig, an Automated Driver Installer GUI application for WinUSB, libusb-win32 and libusbK.Currently, this means installing one of Microsoft's WinUSB, libusb-win32 or libusbK drivers. If your target device is not HID, you must install a driver before you can communicate with it using libusb.
