Windows 8.1 and previous
« on: January 22, 2014, 04:25:56 am »
Hi all

Good day. Anyone here use windows 8.1 to program USB 3.0?
Is there any differences in between windows 8.1 and windows 7 host controller firmware and driver?
All the teaching in USB Complete 4th edition still can be used in windows 8.1 OS?

Host applications should require no changes. These are the only differences I'm aware of:

Windows 8.1 provides the new namespace Windows.Devices.Usb. By using the namespace, you can write a Windows Store app that talks to a custom USB device:

In Windows 8.1, WinUSB supports isochronous transfers:
