Not sure whether this belongs here or in pkgsrc-users. I have been
trying to package the weewx weather station software which is
written in python. It uses py-usb to handle the devices, but
I cannot get it to see anything on the usb busses. I don't
know python, but the simple program below shows the problem:
$cat a.py
#!/usr/pkg/bin/python2.7
import usb
busses = usb.busses()
for bus in busses:
print "Bus:", bus.dirname
devices = bus.devices
for dev in devices:
print "Device:", dev.filename
print " idVendor: %d (0x%04x)" % (dev.idVendor, dev.idVendor)
print " idProduct: %d (0x%04x)" % (dev.idProduct, dev.idProduct)
$./a.py
Bus: /dev/usb0
Bus: /dev/usb1
Bus: /dev/usb2
Bus: /dev/usb3
Bus: /dev/usb4
Bus: /dev/usb5
Five busses, but no devices! Yet they are there:
$usbdevs
addr 1: OHCI root hub, vendor 0x1002
addr 2: Weather Direct Light Wireless Device, LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY
addr 3: product 0x0103, vendor 0x04f3
addr 4: product 0x0083, Belkin Components
addr 1: EHCI root hub, vendor 0x1002
addr 1: OHCI root hub, vendor 0x1002
addr 1: EHCI root hub, vendor 0x1002
addr 1: OHCI root hub, vendor 0x1002
addr 1: EHCI root hub, vendor 0x1002
Any clues. This is a recent NetBSD 7_BETA on amd64 and very
recent pkgsrc. /dev/usb* is readable/writeable by all
Cheers,
Dave
