= I'm trying to port a suit called "barry", which provides a library and some
= utilities to work with RIM's BlackBerry devices.
= It compiles cleanly, but fails to find a connected device at run time. In
= fact, it fails to find _any_ devices, even though ``usbdevs -v'' lists
= several including the BlackBerry
Ok, I see, what's happening... The current implementation of libusb's BSD
support (bsd.c) ignores all devices other than ``ugen'':
if (strncmp(di.udi_devnames[0], "ugen", 4) != 0) {
/* best not to play with things we don't understand */
continue;
And BlackBerry is identified as ``umass'' here :(
Not sure, how best to solve this -- commenting out the above-quoted "if"
simply leads to a failure later, because the code will look for /dev/umassX,
which simply would not exist -- umass0 is da3 here. But it might be da0
somewhere else, and there is no way to know, which is which :-(
But even if one could figure this out and specify the device to the tool
explicitly, daX will not understand ugen's ioctls anyway...
What a retarded mess...
We really need the low-level (ugen?) interfaces available for all
USB-devices -- even those, which are /also/ handled by higher-level
interfaces (like ulpt, uscan, umass). As things stand, the higher-level ones
are "greedy" and will prevent ugen from appearing, even if one wanted to.
Their names may reflect their additional capabilities (ulpt may also print,
uscan may also scan) but they must all understand ugen's ioctls.
The only work-around is to not have umass, etcaetera in your kernel, but that
sucks, because one may want to be able to access /some/ devices as
mass-storage, and some others as merely generics...
Hans, any hope? Thank you!
