Programming a USB driver
Hi I don't know if this is the right list to post to, so i'm sorry if it is. I'm borrowing a Digital Camera, it has only Windows drivers, and I heard that it may be running in Linux using the CPiA drivers. These are my boot msgs: uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ugen0: STMicroelectronics USB Dual-mode Camera, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2 It obviously found something there. Would it be hard to make a driver for this camera? I would really appreciate some starting places and tips.

If you can work out what the wire protocol is, you should be able to write a userland driver using the ugen driver. The ugen driver is a 'catch all' for USB drivers with no explicit kernel driver. I guess a good place to start would be to find the Linux driver which hopefully has source and read that. Then start fiddling :) As far as I understand it, each USB device has several 'end points' which can be different types, and the ugen driver allows access to these end points as different devices (eg ugen0.0 ugen0.1 etc). You can then open these (make sure you get the read/write'ness correct). The only experience I have with USB is a camera whose USB protocol is *identical* to the serial one :) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Re: Writing Drivers
This is probably a dumb question, but here goes. I want to write a driver for some custom hardware we use here. I've done this Windows NT and (earlier) MS-DOS, so the concept doesn't scare me. What I need is a starting point. Besides trawling through the code, are there any standard references or texts I could check out? Not really. The code is your best reference, although you should be sure to ask around here for help/advice, since there are plenty of people that can help you. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
