New USB ID

2013-03-26T19:32:26Z

Don't know if this is the correct venue to report ID's... here goes:

Canon LV-53 (LCD projector)
reports:
[ 141.689172] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device number 2 using ohci_hcd
[ 141.838345] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0474, idProduct=0801
[ 141.838354] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

(Vendor seems Sanyo, but I suspect the projector's internals are Sanyo's)
Hope this helps

Fatar usbid for /usr/share/usb.ids file (see attached file)

libusb doesn't cross-compile cleanly

2009-09-28T20:37:38Z

libtool seems to assume when you do the initial build that it knows where the final link/install will be... even though the actual DESTDIR=... doesn't get provided until "make install ..." happens.

As a result, libtool seeds libusbpp.la with incorrect values for the relink_command.

There are probably other (and maybe even more serious) side-effects to this assumption.

For instance, I noticed that even though I'm doing a cross-compile, libtool always generates "-rpath /usr/lib" as if the install destination will be local.

make lsusb -t work with recent kernels (without usbfs)

2009-03-25T21:28:56Z

Same feature request as 1838556. The original reporter said it was fixed in newer versions, but I believe this is not the case. Some distributions patched, but the patches were not merged upstream.

Here's what happens:

[22:12 TA|catwell] lsusb -t
cannot open /proc/bus/usb/devices, No such file or directory (2)

Note that it does work if you mount usbfs, but the point here is to make it work with sysfs.

The bug report for Ubuntu and corresponding patch can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usbutils/+bug/159189

usbutils doesn't like libusb-1.0.0

2009-02-09T12:32:13Z

The configure fails with;

checking for uname... yes
checking for usb_get_string_simple in -lusb... no
configure: error: get libusb 0.1.8 or newer

make lsusb -t work with recent kernels

2007-11-26T09:01:55Z

lsusb -t still looks into /proc/bus/usb which is not pertinent any longer, so it fails like this:

# lsusb -t
cannot open /proc/bus/usb/devices, No such file or directory (2)

Pegasus driver failing for (said to be) ADMtek8511 device

2006-10-11T17:10:21Z

Initially for using at my Sharp Zaurus I bought a
cheap USB-Ethernet adaptor which is said to contain
an ADMtek8511 chip(set).

After adding vendor and product id's to pegasus.h

# ----------------------------------------
#define VENDOR_DAVICOM 0x0a46

PEGASUS_DEV( "USB 10/100 Fast Ethernet",
VENDOR_DAVICOM, 0x0286,
PEGASUS_II )
# ----------------------------------------

for a kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13-smp I was able to load
the module, but when plugging in the stick I get
errors similar to those mentioned here:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7126

so I applied the patch supplied from Sonic_275, but
nothing changed.

# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a46:0286 Davicom
Semiconductor, Inc.

The machine is an FSC Lifebook E8110 running SuSE
10.1

The adaptor is very similar to the one mentioned
here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21528
(out of iManufacturer = "Anyics Tech")

Under a Windows 2k the device works with the supplied
driver (dm9usb.sys).

Device ID for Cherry Cymotion Solar

2006-10-02T15:38:04Z

Vendor ID: 046a (Cherry GmbH)
Device ID: 0027
Full Name: CyMotion Master Solar

Hope this can be added to the usd.ids.

submit device id

2006-04-11T11:01:56Z

I'm delighted with update-usbids, by the way,
on my Debian/Knoppix 2.9/Kanotix system; although,
my system reports errors over the new format
entries at the bottom of the usb.ids file.

How about a web page with a couple of form
entries for manufacturer and device ID, and
a textarea reporting what was tested and if
it worked? Store this in a database, have
someone look it over and forward believable
stuff into the usb.ids list. Have it automatically
low-priority stuff that's already confirmed working.

A shell script that asks for permission to
transfer "new" /proc/bus/usb/devices entries
into a central database would be another way
to get this data. Or have it automatically
wake up and ask for consent to forward the
data on automount of a device not in the
usb.ids list.

Specific new entry:
USB 7 in 1 flash memory card reader
labelled UCR-61, purchased from Fry's,
there must be a zillion of these out there.
Seems to be manufactured by PCChips.

I was able to read a 32M smartmedia card
on the following device. I'm not entirely
clear on the sequence of events, but I
think /dev/sdb kept saying there was
"No media present", when I tried to
access the card when it was blank. I
-could- read it after I formatted it
on a Windoze system. It did not
automount, ever.

At one other point, I was able to read a
512M Compact Flash card on this device, it
magically automounted on a Mandrake 10.1 system.

connect-timeout in update-usbids.sh

2006-02-20T09:58:37Z

hi,

could the wget commands in the script update-usbids.sh be expanded with the option "--connect-timeout=60"? the script does not work with net-less boxes.

thx
