[PATCH 2/4] proc_usb_info.txt: Correct documentation about endianness of config descriptors

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

 



The config descriptors as read from /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD are in *bus* endian
format. Correct proc_usb_info.txt to correctly reflect that.

 These files can be read as binary data.  The binary data consists
 of first the device descriptor, then the descriptors for each
-configuration of the device.  Multi-byte fields in the device and
-configuration descriptors, but not other descriptors, are converted
-to host endianness by the kernel.  This information is also shown
+configuration of the device.  Multi-byte fields in the device descriptor

+descriptors are in bus endian format! The configuration descriptor

+descriptor data then indicated by wTotalLength there will be a hole in

 in text form by the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, described later.
 
 These files may also be used to write user-level drivers for the USB
