INFO: USB Support Under Windows NT Embedded 4.0

 * }

Q298858

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows NT Embedded 4.0

-

SUMMARY
USB support is not natively included with Windows NT Embedded 4.0. This article provides basic information for developers who want USB support for Windows NT Embedded 4.0. All such USB support is provided by third-party add-on products, and this functionality is not supported by Microsoft.

MORE INFORMATION
If you are designing a target system that requires USB support, simply authoring a component definition file (.kdf) that includes the specific USB device driver files and registry keys is not sufficient because Windows NT 4.0 Embedded does not provide native USB support.

Some third-party vendors, including BSQUARE Corp. (http://www.bsquare.com/) and Phoenix Technologies, Ltd. (http://www.phoenix.com/), among others, provide components that add USB support to Windows NT 4.0. However, Microsoft does not provide support for the use of any of these third-party components.

The third-party products discussed in this article are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
