hi all I need to write a driver for a new USB device from some 'X' manufacturer. Since they havent supported their device on linux, i guess they dont have any device ID as such. Can i write the driver for such a completely new USB device from user space? By using libusb or usbdevfs API? Which of them shall be better
I don't really understand by what you mean by saying driver from user space. You'll certainly be able to use your device - just that you need to know how to use it. I'm not that sure about libusb and usbdevfs. I had thought that libusbfs works on top of usb device filesystem. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
,in case i can write one in user space? TIA pradeep -- play the game -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
