Ah, you didn't read far enough down the page :) --- System.Fundamentals.DebugPort.USB.SystemExposesDebugInterfaceUsb USB 3 system exposes debug interface that complies with Debug Port Specification Target Feature System.Fundamentals.DebugPort.USB Applies to Windows 8 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT) Windows 8.1 Client x86, x64, ARM (Windows RT 8.1) Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 Windows Server 2012 x64 Description Systems that support USB 3 are required to have xHCI controller(s) compliant to the xHCI debug specification. The xHCI controller(s) shall be memory mapped. There must be at least one user accessible USB 3.0 debug port on the machine. ... Enforcement Date Mar. 01, 2012 --- So I have to believe there are a *lot* of systems out there that do support xHCI debug. -- Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
