Why Android developers no longer need Windows USB drivers

General News

Summary

When you plug an USB device into a port, the operating system needs to load drivers for its interface(s). e.g. an Apple Magic Trackpad will also get unless Bingxing Wangs awesome driver is installed, in which case Windows loads (with support for right-click and multi-finger gestures). Why it did not work If no driver can be found, Linux loads which lets user-space programs access the device. Alike Linuxs and Mac OSs it is an USB driver which allows user-space programs to enumerate interfaces and write/read into/from the endpoints[4]. With loaded, user-space executables such as can open the device, claim the interface, and get the developer rolling.
