USB devices |
|
|
Hi,
I'm interfacing a microcontroller to the USB bus, and would like to provide
support for linux apps also (I already tested it on win32). What would be
the easiest
way? Should I map the device to a file ou make device driver calls?
Thanks!

Under Linux there are 2 way to interface to USB devices, device
drivers and libusb. The fun begins when you need to figure out which
versions of libusb or Linux kernel/device drive you want to support.
I'm no USB expert but I just wrote a device driver for the X10 CM15A
(X10 power line interface/RF to USB interface). The CM15A uses
interrupt transfers to get the data back and forth. The data is in the
format of a command and it's parameters which is just the data written
to the USB device driver. Does this help?
