+Building OpenOCD for Windows
+----------------------------
+
+You can build OpenOCD for Windows natively with either MinGW/MSYS or
+Cygwin. Alternatively, one can cross-compile it using MinGW on a *nix
+host. See README for the generic instructions.
+
+USB adapters
+------------
+
+You usually need to have WinUSB.sys (or libusbK.sys) driver installed
+for a USB-based adapter. Some vendor software (e.g. for ST-LINKv2)
+does it on its own. For the other cases the easiest way to assign
+WinUSB to a device is to use the Zadig installer:
+
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/
+
+For the old drivers that use libusb-0.1 API you might need to link
+against libusb-win32 headers and install the corresponding driver with
+Zadig.
