Remarks

The manufacturer metadata matches the manufacturer metadata section described in the device profile (consult the device profile for details). The manufacturer name or at least one localized version of the manufacturer name must be provided. The model name or at least one localized version of the model name must be provided.

The thisModelMetadataDefinition element is subsequently used to generate a C constant containing this information.

If a PnPXDeviceCategory element is present, then at least one hosted element must contain both PnPXHardwareId and PnPXCompatibleId elements. Similarly, if PnPXHardwareId and PnPXCompatibleId elements are present in a hosted element, a PnPXDeviceCategory element must be present inside the thisModelMetadata element.
