For background information about USB, check out the official USB specifications. If not, I recommend reading USB in a NutShell. This article assumes you have some basic knowledge of how USB works. (On the Web, the space for unused is eventually reclaimed.) If you only use the feature once, the code stays on your computer until you think to remove it.(Remember, the web is built to contain malfunctioning websites). If you're unlucky, the installed drivers or applications malfunction and harm your computer. If you're lucky, you'll get no scary OS prompts or popups warning you about installing drivers/applications from the internet. If it's even supported on my operating system, verify that I've downloaded the right thing.
#NATIVE ACCESS STUCK ON INSTALLING INSTALL#
Install a platform-specific application.What would this procedure be like without the WebUSB API? Click to connect and a USB device chooser shows up in Chrome where you can pick your device.A notification appears right away, with the right website to go to for this device. Let's see the behavior you could expect with the WebUSB API: With this API, hardware manufacturers will be able to build cross-platform JavaScript SDKs for their devices.īut most importantly this will make USB safer and easier to use by bringing it to the Web. And that's one of the reasons the WebUSB API has been created: to provide a way to expose USB device services to the Web. Sadly this platform-specific code has historically prevented these devices from being used by the Web. These non-standardized USB devices require hardware vendors to write platform-specific drivers and SDKs in order for you (the developer) to take advantage of them. You're right, but you'll find other kinds of Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices out there. If I said plainly and simply "USB", there is a good chance that you will immediately think of keyboards, mice, audio, video, and storage devices.
