[vox-tech] USB drivers

[John Wojnaroski]

Hi

Any experts in talking with USB devices?

After enumerating the device, I try sending a usb control msg to the 
device and get a broken pipe error.  The USB device is a custom Hagstrom 
keyboard chip that is configured as a generic HID.  here is the 
enumerated data

T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  4 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=04b4 ProdID=0202 Rev= 1.01
S:  Manufacturer=LFS Technologies
S:  Product=LFS Technologies HID
S:  SerialNumber=
?
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 52mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   6 Ivl=10ms

and here is some output from a short test program with some debugging 
output.  The device is found, a handle created, and a short 
usb_control_msg sent.  packet bytes are shown in the next to last line,  
the chip should respond with a three byte packet

Broken pipe

if anyone thinks they might be able to help, I'll be happy to send along 
the source code.

I've discussed the problem with the folks at Hagstrom and they are 
looking into it, but it is mostly  MS windows and they're not all that 
familiar with how linux does all the internal usb stuff; neither am I 
for that matter

Thanks
