● Setting the USB driver for each USB device (MEAP driver preference
registration)
If it is set to use the system driver, the conventional applications that support the MEAP
application driver cannot use the USB input device.
Therefore, for the USB drivers used by USB devices/MEAP applications, there is setting
function (MEAP driver preference registration) to give priority to the MEAP driver.
If you register the ID of the USB device by using this function, the USB device can use the
MEAP driver despite the Additional Function settings.
Using this function requires the conditions below:
• Supported MEAP Spec Ver: 26
• Describe the idVendeor(VID) and idProdutc(PID) of USB device in the manifest or activate/
deactivate the VID and PID by calling API from MEAP applications.
The driver setting that is used in a manifest file is reflected in the following timing.
When registering from a manifest file.
• The registration will be enabled when an application is activated and device is
restarted.
• The registration will be disabled when an application is stopped and device is
restarted.
Availability for MEAP application of the USB device A (either HID keyboard or Mass Storage)
