USB and other devices

[beriberikix]

I work in the world of embedded devices and this specification caught my eye! As a general question, how is a device defined? Graphics cards are mentioned throughout the documentation but would USB devices be in scope, as well as other common devices like Serial or Bluetooth (via HCI UART, for example.)

There are long-standing issues when it comes to interfacing with USB devices on macOS & Windows and I'm wondering if CDI could be a path to solve them.

Thanks!

Everything that represented as POSIX device node will be ok for representing in CDI spec.

~> ls -l /dev/hidraw*

~> ls -l /dev/bus/usb/00*

For Windows, we don't have consistent story yet in CDI.
