Thoughts on compatibility with libusb? #7

Closed xloem closed 2 years ago

I was wondering what your thoughts were on some day offering an interface that is compatible with libusb, so that for some applications libusbp could be offered as a drop-in-replacement.

I am personally working with libftdi.

What was your experience with contributing changes to libusb that you made your own library?

Thank you for your interest in libusbp. Why are you interested in using libusbp as a replacement for libusb?

For certain limited applications that connect to a non-composite USB device and only do synchronous transfers, it should be possible for someone to extend libusbp to make it act as a drop-in replacement for libusb.

I have not contributed any changes to libusb. I mentioned an idea for an improvement on their mailing list in 2015, and I got some helpful replies.
