EXTRACTION OF OPERATING SYSTEM-SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS VIA A COMMUNICATION INTERFACE

摘要

Systems and methods for specifying extended descriptor information in a device accessed using a communication interface are disclosed. One method includes transmitting a request to a device from a host computing system, and receiving an extended capability descriptor identifying to the host computing system at least one extended descriptor set stored on the device. The extended capability descriptor identifies a minimum operating system version able to support a corresponding extended descriptor set.
