1# BTstack Port for Windows Systems with Intel Wireless 8260/8265 Controllers
2
3Same as port/windows-winusb, but customized for Intel Wireless 8260 and 8265 Controllers.
4These controller require firmware upload and configuration to work. Firmware and config is downloaded from the Linux firmware repository.
5
6The port provides both a regular Makefile as well as a CMake build file. It uses native Win32 APIs for file access and does not require the Cygwin or mingw64 build/runtine. All examples can also be build with Visual Studio 2022 (e.g. Community Edition).

9## Access to Bluetooth USB Dongle with Zadig
10
11To allow WinUSB to access an USB Bluetooth dongle, you need to install a special device driver to make it accessible to user space processes.
12
13It works like this:
14
15-  Download [Zadig](http://zadig.akeo.ie)
16-  Start Zadig
17-  Select Options -> “List all devices”
18-  Select USB Bluetooth dongle in the big pull down list
19-  Select WinUSB in the right pull down list
20-  Select “Replace Driver”
21

23
24After the new driver was installed, your device is shown in the Device Manager with Device Provider 'libwdi'

28## Visual Studio 2022
29
30Visual Studio can directly open the provided `port/windows-winusb-intel/CMakeLists.txt` and allows to compile and run all examples.
31
32## mingw64
33
34It can also be compiles with a regular Unix-style toolchain like [mingw-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org).
35mingw64-w64 is based on [MinGW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW), which '...provides a complete Open Source programming tool set which is suitable for the development of native MS-Windows applications, and which do not depend on any 3rd-party C-Runtime DLLs.'
36
37In the MSYS2 shell, you can install everything with pacman:
38
39    $ pacman -S git
40    $ pacman -S cmake
41    $ pacman -S make
42    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
43    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-portaudio
44    $ pacman -S python
45    $ pacman -S winpty
46
47### Compilation with CMake
48
49With mingw64-w64 installed, just go to the port/windows-h4 directory and use CMake as usual
50
51    $ cd port/windows-h4
52    $ mkdir build
53    $ cd build
54    $ cmake ..
55    $ make
56
57Note: When compiling with msys2-32 bit and/or the 32-bit toolchain, compilation fails
58as `conio.h` seems to be mission. Please use msys2-64 bit with the 64-bit toolchain for now.
59
60## Console Output
61
62When running the examples in the MSYS2 shell, the console input (via btstack_stdin_support) doesn't work. It works in the older MSYS and also the regular CMD.exe environment. Another option is to install WinPTY and then start the example via WinPTY like this:
63
64    $ winpty ./gatt_counter.exe
65
66The packet log will be written to hci_dump.pklg
