Re: [linux-usb-devel] How to diagnose kernel hangs?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: More problematic is that if I stick such prinks into arch/i386/kernel/ irq.c handle_IRQ_event(), that stops seeing interrupts too ... even timer irqs. They happen right up to the point of lockup though. At this point (in fact long before this) I would get out the

[linux-usb-devel] hotplug remover support

2001-06-04 Thread Stephen Williams
Is there any objection to the remover patch I submitted a while ago to the hotplug and usb-devel lists? It seems to help my design of applications that use USB devices, so I would like to get it integrated into the main hotplug repository. If there are specific objections, I can address them.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: You are missing the point. Root is mounted read-only upon boot, and hotplug running at that time does not work if it attempts to write or create files. You are right, I completely forgot about that. Piffle! But wait! Don't all the other demons, such as bind, inetd,

[linux-usb-devel] Hotpug haquerie

2001-05-24 Thread Stephen Williams
I'm rather accustomed to lists that fill my mailbox until I can't stand it, so I'm a little surprised how quiet the linux-hotplug list is. I posted a patch to the hotplug scripts to support hot remove of USB devices, but I haven't heard praise or protest in a few days, so I'll present it here

Re: [linux-usb-devel] Waiting for a USB device

2001-05-16 Thread Stephen Williams
I'm writing an application that works with a USB device. The device itself is expected to be plugged and unplugged during the lifetime of the application, so I'm looking for a way to follow the state of the device. It's a GTK application, I have no problem with using timers. [EMAIL

[linux-usb-devel] libusb documentation

2001-05-10 Thread Stephen Williams
Is there something like a programmer's guide for libusb? I have a new piece of hardware (flash programmer) that I want to write software for. I can cope with the ez-usb chip on board just fine, but basically I'm in need of a Getting Started with libusb document. Incidentally, I've also seen on
