I am using system_profiler to view the USB hardware details connected to a Mac, however there are some differences between running this on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. For example, in 10.5 the keys for various attributes have an alphabet letter prefix. More importantly, I can't get the location_id attribute (in the SPUSBDataType dataType) in ...

Programming a USB transfer cable / talking to a USB device driver
How do I programmatically access a USB transfer cable (such as Belkin's Easy Transfer Cable) from Windows? I'm familiar with libusb-win32, but from what I can tell, using that with newer devices and with Windows Vista seems iffy. I know that Windows Easy Transfer can do this. How do I write code that does the same thing as Windows Eas...

How do improve Tx peformance in USB device driver?
I developed a device driver for a USB 1.1 device onr Windows 2000 and later with Windows Driver Model (WDM). My problem is the pretty bad Tx performance when using 64byte bulk transfers. Depending on the used USB Host Controller the maximum packet throughput is either 1000 packets (UHCI) or 2000 packets (OHCI) per seconds. I've develope...

RegisterDeviceNotification Returns NULL but notifications still recieved.
I'm using RegisterDeviceNotification to watch for changes to a USB device, using the WM_DEVICECHANGE event. However, when I call RegisterDeviceNotification() it returns NULL for the notification handle, which should indicate that it failed. But GetLastError() returns ERROR_SUCCESS and the notifications actually go through. This causes ...
Writing files to USB stick causes file corruption/lockup on surprise removal
I'm writing a background application to copy files in a loop to a USB stick with the "Optimize for quick removal" policy set. However, if the stick is removed part way through this process (specifically in the WriteFile() call below, which returns ERROR FILE NOT FOUND) the application hangs, the drive is then permanently inaccessible fro...
Windows PC as a USB slave to emulate a thumbdrive
I need to create a application that will allow a Windows PC (XP/Vista) to emulate a thumbdrive. That is, when the PC is plugged into either another Windows system, or in this case, a piece of hardware that allows for USB thumbdrives to be plugged in, a folder on the computer looks like a giant thumbdrive. Any thoughts on where a guy wo...

How can you identify the chipset of a usb device in Linux?
I'd like to be able to identify the chipset a particular USB device is using. I know about lsusb (and now /proc/bus/usb/devices), but they don't provide as much information as lspci. Here is an example of how I use lsusb: (laptop:/proc/bus/usb) # lsusb -v -d 050d:805c Bus 001 Device 008: ID 050d:805c Belkin Components Device Descrip...
