modeling hotplug usb host controller driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am trying to model a hotplug usb host controller that will cause a usb bus to appear/disappear from the system on the fly
(accessible to the CPU as a hotplug device on the local bus).

the current approach I am prototyping is to add a generic netlink interface to the driver that essentially 'probes'
another hcd into existence once some other part of the system (from user-space) realize that a new device that
contains the hcd has been added.

I've read the Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt but that document seems to deal with hotplugging usb device on an existing bus,
not a host-controller that actually makes the bus appear/disappear.

Am I on the right track with using generic netlink, or is there a more 'formal' method included?

Thanks for everyone's time
