The USB specification Table 11-13 describes the hub descriptor in
detail.
The following data structure struct usb_hub_descriptor defined in
"drivers/usb/core/hub.h" of Linux Kernel source contains information
about the hub descriptor,
struct usb_hub_descriptor {
_u8 bDescLength;
_u8 bDescriptorType;
_u8 bNbrPorts;
_le16 wHubCharacteristics;
_u8 bPwrOn2PwrGood;
_u8 bHubContrCurrent;
}
The bNbrPorts member contains information on the number of
downstream-facing ports the hub supports. The structure which i have
provided is in reference to Linux Kernel Version 2.6 series for Linux
Kernel Version 3.0+, Please consult an expert.
Is this information you wanted?
Regards
Anil Nair
