I used it and like it very much.

The firmware exposes 1 configuration with 1 bulk in endpoint, 1 bulk out endpoint, and 1 interrupt endpoint, but you can also download firmware code (I haven’t done this) if you want to.

Also, the sample driver is well written code (lots of informational debug output).

All I can tell you is SOMEbody must like it. We’ve sold more than 300
hundred of them since they were introduced :slight_smile:

Wow, 300 hundred is what, 300,000? Does that make it platinum or is it still
only gold? :slight_smile:
(or is that just a fat finger?) :slight_smile:

INAKI:

I went through the WDF tutorial introduced at Driver DevCon, and found
it quite useful. Unfortunately, the WDF version is covered under a
nondisclosure agreement, and I am unfamiliar with the WDM version (and
WDM in general).

I have the OSR kit and also a Cypress EZ-USB FX (3671) kit. I am mostly using the OSR kit as most of the examples that I’ve been working from are specifically pointed at this board. If your goal is to learn driver development, this is probably the best option. The cost is low, and you probably won’t need to change the behavior of the board. If you’re wanting to do serious development with the EZ-USB chip, you will be buying something like the Cypress kit anyway. It’s probably still worth the minimal cost to get the OSR kit as it does work with the examples that you will be learning from. (Perhaps not yet, but you will be wanting to have this if you’re doing anything with the WDF when it releases.)

For WDM work, I’d still recommend it. It is wonderful to have a lightweight target while you’re learning. I’d also plan on getting a more robust board after the learning curve has gotten a bit farther along, but at that point you will probably have your own development board.
