Libusbx.org USB Devices Driver



Zadig is a Windows application that installs generic USB drivers, such as WinUSB, libusb-win32/libusb0.sys or libusbK, to help you access USB devices.

It can be especially useful for cases where:

  • you want to access a device using a libusb-based application
  • you want to upgrade a generic USB driver
  • you want to access a device using WinUSB

Note:'libusb-based' above means an application that uses either libusb, libusb-win32 or libusbK.

Introduction
We often come across a situation where a USB device which runs perfectly on Windows platform does not even get detected on Linux. Lack of support for USB devices is one of the reason why some people don't embrace Linux. Now there is a new API by name Libusb which helps the developers to develop USB device drivers on the fly!
What is Libusb
Libusb is a high-level language API which conceals low-level kernel interactions with the USB modules. It provides a set of function which are adequate to develop a device driver for a USB device from the Userspace.
Libusb is not complex
For any wannabe Linux Kernel programmers developing device driver as a Kernel module is a herculean task. Developing kernel modules requires fair degree of proficiency in 'C' language and also good idea of kernel subsystems, data structures etc. All these are enough to put-off a developer from venturing into Device Driver programming.Libusb has been designed to address this shortcoming. Simplified interface allows developers to develop USB drivers from the userspace . Libusb library functions provide high level abstraction to the Kernel structures and allows the developers to have access to these structures through the USBFS(USBfilesystem).
Its Cross-platform
Beauty of Libusb lies in its cross platform functionality. Driver written for one platform could be easily ported onto another platform with little or no changes, currently following operating systems are supported by Libusb.
Linux
FreeBSD
Darwin
OS X
This HOWTO focuses on how Libusb can be used on Linux platform. For information about other platforms goto http://http://libusb.sourceforge.net/.
LIBUSB ON LINUX
Linux is the most popular platform for the Libusb API,the reason being growing popularity of Linux as a stable OS. On Linux Libusb makes of the USBFS file system. by default USBFS is automatically mounted when the system is booted.
What is USBFS
USBFS is a filesystem specifically designed for USB devices, by default this filesystem gets mounted when the system is booted and it can be found at /proc/bus/usb/. This filesystem consists of information about all the USB devices that are connected to the computer.Libusb makes use of this filesystem to interact with the USB devices.
Following C program can be a stepping stone into the world of Libusb.This program can be used to gather all the technical/hardware details of a USB device connected to the computer ,ensure that some USB device is connected into the USB port.
Details like Vendor-Id , Product-Id ,Endpoint addresses of a USB device is of paramount importance for a device driver developer.

The above program should be compiled as

(root$)./usbdevice_details (enter)
Following is the output of the above command ,its the listing of a USB pen drive connected to my system.
The first line displays the bus-name/device-name & device-id/product-id and rest of the listing is self-descriptive.

Before executing the above program download the current version of Libusb library from, http://http://libusb.sourceforge.net/. The above program can also be found under the tests directory of Libusb directory (after u install it)
Now I will explain in brief some of the functions and attributes dealt in the above program.
usb_init() - Used to initialize Libusb and establish connection with kernel structures .
usb_find_busses() - Looks for all the USB busses on the computer.
usb_find_devices() - Looks for all the USB devices connected to the computer.
usb_open(dev) - Opens the device 'dev' which is given as argument to this function.
usb_get_string_simple() - Used to extract the string descriptor of the device taken argument.
Important attributes of USB devices useful in device driver coding
Configuration and Endpoints are one of the two important descriptors of any USB device. These descriptors are defined using the
