+Assigning drivers to devices (Windows, Zadig)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+On Windows systems it may be necessary to assign drivers to devices
+before libusb based applications can access them. It may be necessary
+to re-run this driver assignment after firmware upload in case the
+device changes its USB identification as a consequence of loading the
+firmware image.
+
+The https://sigrok.org/wiki/Windows wiki page discusses this subject,
+and other platform specific aspects.
