| Scenario | Benefit of Filter Installer | | :--- | :--- | | (e.g., on ESP32, STM32, or Raspberry Pi Pico) | Allows tools like esptool or dfu-util to claim the device. | | SDR (Software Defined Radio) – RTL-SDR dongles | Replaces default drivers with libusb for spectrum analysis. | | JTAG debuggers (OpenOCD, UrJTAG) | Enables low-level debugging over USB. | | Custom USB devices (Engineering prototypes) | No native Windows driver exists; libusb provides generic control. | | Virtual machines pass-through | Stabilizes device handoff to VMs using USB/IP. |
