Is there any API to open/use the USB port on PPC/WIN CE device??

What i would like to implement is a direct communication between PPC and
Wince (no activesync)


Thanks for any hints
 
The short answer is no. The long answer has a lot to do with learning how
the USB protocol works and the fact that PPCs don't have USB Host hardware
or drivers for what you want.

ActiveSync does it.
Does it use a sort of serial emulation? And if yes is there a way to know on
which COM?

Thx
 
May be with a PC but without ActiveSync?

Hi,

No, and no.

ActiveSync does not use serial emulation. There is an ActiveSync USB client
driver on the PocketPC. This is specialized for use only by ActiveSync.

Yes, and ActiveSync has a driver specifically for it, and it's controlled by
the PC Host.

Write a USB driver and you can have the same.
