  • 0

I am working on an embedded Windows CE project and am interested in accessing a USB HID device through one of its USB Host ports. All I really need to read are the raw HID specification packets.

On a Windows computer, I have a working program using hid.dll, but as far as I have researched, there isn’t any equivalent on Windows CE. I know there is the usbhid.dll file, but I’m not sure if it is applicable for this situation. I would prefer not to write a kernel level driver, as I would like to do my coding in C#. How can I make consuming an HID device on Windows CE work?

    I have no concrete experience with HID, but accessing the USB port as a COM port with a proper driver DLL (the device manufacturer might have one) might help. Theoretically you should be able to receive the device’s raw data packets with a SerialPort class that way.
