The universal serial bus (USB) bus driver connects a USB hub to a Windows Embedded Compact device.

You use the USB bus driver when you want to support connecting your Windows Embedded Compact device a USB hub. The USB bus driver in Windows Embedded Compact exposes the USB driver interface functions listed in the Universal Serial Bus Specification.
