You use a universal serial bus (USB) host driver to enable hardware components on a host Windows Embedded Compact device to communicate with USB-compatible devices connected as clients to the Windows Embedded Compact device.

For more information about USB host drivers, see the following topics.

  • USB Host Client Drivers
    Enable communication over USB between a client device, such as a mass storage device or printer, and a host computer.
  • USB Host Controller Drivers
    Convert data between the format that the host computer uses and the format that the USB host controller uses.
  • USB Bus Driver
    Connects a USB hub to a Windows Embedded Compact device.

To add this feature to your OS, see USB Host Driver Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables.
