USB Client
Software The USB Client Software supports the Intel® System Controller Hub for Windows Vista* Special Note Starting with version, 1.0.0.1052, the reference application and the matching source is available as part of the Driver Release. Please note that the applications are still reference applications only. These are not to be used as production applications as they have several limitations as described below. The Intel supported USBC Client drivers are in the Driver Release folder of the kit. The ReferenceUtility folder contains the driver as well as the reference application. The ReferenceUtilitySrc folder contains the source to the reference applications. Reference Application Intel only provides driver
software for the USB Client. In order to take advantage of the
software provided, customers must develop applications that are built on top
of the driver software. Some of the usage models that may be enabled
with application software are
By default, the USB Client
Driver presents itself as a Mass Storage Volume to a connected host in order
to enable installation of the software drivers to a new Host. This behavior
may be changed by changing the Mode of the Client Driver to "RNDIS
only" in Driver "Advanced properties". If the default configuration is
preserved, an application/ service must listen for AutoPlay events and send
SCSI commands to switch from MSD to RNDIS mode. This is showcased in the
provided reference application.
Software
Development Kit A software development kit (available separately)
has been provided for the following. Contact your Intel representative for
more information. ·
Production
Application Development As noted above, it is essential to develop an
application to take advantage of the USBC Driver. A reference application
along with source code and binaries has been provided in Software Development
Kit ·
Customizing Mass
Storage Volume The Mass Storage Volume that carries the host installation
files may be customized. Please refer the Customizing contents of Mass Storage
Volume section in the SDK Documentation. ·
Detecting Full Speed
Connection As the D1 silicon only support High Speed USB connections (USB
2.0), applications on the Client side may detect this and take appropriate
actions such as notifying users, write to event logs etc. Please refer to the
Detecting Full Speed Connection section in the SDK Documentation Installation
Instructions USB Client Software Installation To install the USB Client driver, run setup.exe in the installation directory. Files Sharing on Windows Please configure the following on File Sharing settings. 1) Turn on "File Sharing" 2) Turn on "Public folder sharing" - This is optional. If Public Folder Sharing is on, this folder can be mapped to a (remote) computer Setup for Host System Use the Launch USB Software option in the Auto play dialog box when you connect the USB cable to install the Host software. Special notes about Installing using
Have Disk Method Disk0.img Copying the disk0.img is not part of the inf installation (Have Disk Method). Since the disk0.img needs to be customized to carry the appropriate Host Installation and other files in the Mass Storage Volume, the WHQL driver signature would be invalidated. Therefore the disk0.img is not referenced in the inf. If the installation is performed using the Have Disk method, the Mass Storage Volume would contain an unformatted empty volume. If an existing disk0.img needs to part of an installation, you may use the Setup.exe method to install on the client. You may also precopy the disk0.img to the <system32>\drivers directory if using the Have Disk method for Installation IP
Addresses The USB Driver relies on using the Setup.exe on the Client side and Install.exe or Setup.exe on the Host side to set up working IP addresses on virtual Ethernet Adapters on the Client and Host end. If the Have Disk method is used for installing drivers, matching IPs would need to set on the client and Host end to enable networking between the Host and Client. Uninstall
Instructions Please use the "Add/Remove Programs" to un-install the software. Do not use the device manager to un-install under normal circumstances. This will leave application components behind on the system New Features
