Windows Logo Kit 1.5 QFE 001 Is Now Available on Connect QFE 001 for Windows Logo Kit (WLK) 1.5 is now available for download on the WLK Connect site (https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=668). WLK 1.5 QFE 001 updates USB device fundamentals tests to run USB 3 devices and also updates the USB Controller Power State test. A number of USB device fundamentals tests are failing on USB 3 devices. Most of these failures are caused by a failing setup task, which is preventing the test from running. The fixes to get the USB device fundamentals tests to run on USB 3 devices are: - Allow the following tests to run on USB 3.0 devices:
- USB Address Description test
- USB Descriptor test
- USB Device Control Requests test
- USB Device Framework test
- USB Enable Disable test
- USB Enumeration Stress test
- USB HIDView test
- USB Selective Suspend test
- USB Specification Compliance test
- USB System Suspend Resume test
- USB Specification Compliance test update to accept SuperSpeed devices running at high speed to report a version number of 2.1.
- Increase timeout in the USB Controller Power State test to account for devices that take longer to come back from system resume.
- Remove disable/enable of the host controller at the beginning of the USB Controller Power State test. Instead of removing the Force HCResetOnResume bit in Windows 7, the test now checks for its presence and fails if it is set. If it is not set the test moves on and will not enable/disable the host controller.
This QFE is needed only for USB 3 device submissions, USB controller submissions and system submissions that have USB controllers. You can download the QFE from the WLK Connect website.
Network-Connected Printers Must Implement Windows Rally This is a reminder that effective June 1, 2010, IMAGING-0048 will require that network-connected printers, scanners, and multi-function printers (MFPs) implement the Windows Rally technologies as described by CONNECT-0098, CONNECT-0099, CONNECT-0100, and IMAGING-0004. For more information, please refer to the referenced requirements, which are available on the Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) website (http://winqual.microsoft.com/), and the Windows 7 Logo Program for Printers FAQ (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/Logoprinterfaq.mspx).
Clarifications to STORAGE-0026 for Optical Drives When STORAGE-0026 takes effect on June 1, 2010, read-only optical drives will no longer be a device category in the Windows Logo Program. After June 1, systems with read-only optical drives must qualify such devices through the Unclassified category. In response to partner feedback, we have made some clarifications in STORAGE-0026. These clarifications do not change the substance of the requirement and consequently there are no changes to the Windows Logo Kit (WLK) as a result of the clarifications. The new clarifications are described in detail below. You can read the full text of STORAGE-0026 on Logopoint (https://winqual.microsoft.com/). Description of Changes The following changes were made in the table of Microsoft requirements: - In the Profiles section, "Removable Disc" changed to "Removable Disk" to keep spelling consistent with Mt. Fuji and MMC specifications.
- In the Profiles section, "If Drive is recordable this profile must be implemented" changed to "Required" for the following profiles: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R Sequential Recording, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite, DVD-R Dual Layer Sequential Recording, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL. This change is consistent with the elimination of read-only optical drives as a device category.
- In the Features section, the requirement for Asynchronous Notification is changed to remove the phrase "if implemented for other buses".
The following changes were made to the footnotes: - In footnote 4, "50 000 msec" changed to "60 000 msec" to be consistent with change notes (change 2 for version 2) at the top of the requirement.
- Footnote 5 removed because it was obsolete.
The following changes were made to the design and implementation notes: - "DTM" changed to "WLK".
- Removed the reference to "A recordable drive must implement all of the following profiles" because this information is now reflected more concisely in the table.
