USB-driver

This is a simple USB driver based on the code examples and instructions in Linux Device Drivers chapter 13.

Important

When plugging in (almost) any USB device that device is by default handled by some builtin kernel module like usbhid, usb_storage,etc. In order to get this module to handle the device you must re-bind it to this module:

Fetch the name for the plugged in USB device

tree /sys/bus/usb/devices/

You may have to unplug and plug in the devices and run the above command a few times in order to find the correct name. The name should be in the format x-x:x.x

To find out what driver module is used for the current USB device use

usb-devices

Probably it will be usbhid

Unbind it from the current module

echo -n "x-x:x.x" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/{DRIVER}/unbind

Bind it to this module

echo -n "x-x:x.x" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-test/bind

Verify with dmesg that the probe function in this module is reached

dmesg
