Just wondering how many users are using the libusbK API (libusbK.dll)? How many are using the libusbK driver (libusbk.sys)? libusbK API is Windows only and it supports libusbk.sys, libusb0.sys and WinUSB. It is quite unique. The only alternative I can think of is probably the original WinUSB API. Travis mentioned before he wanted to add the WinUSB ISO support in libusbK.dll but I am not so sure when that will happen. Of course users can switch to libusb-1.0 API as well. As for libusbk.sys, I think the usage is probably pretty low since WinUSB will be a better alternative. -- Xiaofan On Mon, Aug 10, 2015 at 10:58 PM, Travis <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings, > > LibusbK is already signed with a DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA. > > At some point, I would like to add the WinUSB ISO support to the libusbK > library and let it become our "primary" driver.
