Hi Sarah,
Are you sure about that? Last I heard, xHCI debug support was a logo requirement from Microsoft for Windows 8 and above, so I would have thought that most vendors would have implemented it by now. I know Synopsys put a lot of effort into making sure it works in our IP. Or did Microsoft relax that requirement at the last minute?
