The debugging of STM8 itself is IMHO done through some custom USB MSC commands. No, you can't. But it doesn't matter, because those reads aren't generated by usb-storage anyway. They are generated by programs in hal and/or DeviceKit: /lib/udev/vol_id /lib/udev/devkit-disks-part-id The program names may be different on your system. If you rename them so they won't run automatically when your device is plugged in, you shouldn't get those bad reads. > Now I will ask as real newbie. I can either disable usb-storage for the kit (with the quirk) and make my own application with libusb. Or, if usb-storage somehow will succeed to correctly detect the device, I can use services of this kernel module. Am I right ? Yes. > Is there some sample application which talks directly to usb-storage module (to have an idea how to do it by myself) ? There's no way talk directly to usb-storage. You simply access access the device like any other disk drive. > Regards, > Vaclav > > PS. I put the quirk options in /etc/modules but it does not work. I have no idea, why. I have standard Ubuntu Lucid. I don't know how Ubuntu handles this. In Fedora it would go into a file under /etc/modprobe.d or into /etc/modprobe.conf.
