This means it can currently only be built and used on -Linux (i.e., it's non-portable). - -The use of a kernel module also means it is dependent on the kernel version -used, as well as on whether this specific module is available in the kernel. -Additionally, the usbtmc kernel module has been known to have various bugs -in some versions. These are some (but not all) drawbacks of using a kernel -module as opposed to a libusb-based driver that works in user-space. - -We plan to change the driver to use the 'librevisa' user-space shared -library (which uses libusb) soon, which will fix all these issues and make -the driver portable at the same time.
