Development on Windows

Thanks to Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can run Trezor Suite dev environment on a Windows machine.

Prerequisites

On Windows:

• Install an Ubuntu WSL2 (must be v2, you may upgrade existing v1 WSL to v2)
• Install USBIPD

In WSL:

• Run sudo apt-get install build-essential
• Install these Electron dependencies for Linux
• Install udev rules as per the Trezor docs

Setup

Proceed with the general readme instructions.

Connecting USB device

On Windows, run usbipd list, find the bus id of the Trezor device, e.g. 2-1.

Then run:

usbipd bind --busid 2-1
usbipd attach --wsl --busid 2-1

In WSL, run lsusb to confirm the device is visible.

Note: Without udev rules, the device will be visible by lsusb, but not in the app.
