Abstract
A method that includes coupling a first device to a client device using a universal serial bus (USB) link, and detecting, by the first device, a USB operating system (OS) descriptor request made by the client device. The method further includes reporting, by the first device, a mass storage interface to the client device in response to a detected USB OS descriptor request, and using the mass storage interface to install, in the client device, a device driver associated with the first device.
