What should vendors keep in mindController
Profile Vendor ID (0xFFFB)

Actual Vendor ID

ProfileEDS

Vendor EDS
with Profile

ODVA will create and maintain EDS
files using the Profile Vendor ID thatstrictly follow the documented
Process Device Profiles

Vendors will create a vendor-specific
EDS file to include vendor-specificand profile features

At application design time, users opt for cross-vendor interchangeability by selectinga Device that employs the Profile Vendor ID (0xFFFB).
