Hi,
Yes i tried lsusb.
But i want the RAM, ROM, EPROM, FLASH Memory details of any elctronic device which is connected via usb to my computer..
and i want all the things should be possible using C/C++ application while the target device (the device connected via usb) starts or boots up.

thanks

Look up the data sheet for the device you're plugging in.

Unless the device is designed to provide that information, the computer can't retrieve it.

Hi,
actually the device i am gonna plugging in raspberry pi board that may be any kind like laptop , mobile or it may be anything.
So, i want the solution which should be target device independent and target device's operating system independent.
Is it possibe though kernel module ?
or is there any other way ......

thanks.

As I said (I thought very clearly) above:

The RPi doesn't have a functional USB device port anyway...and neither do laptops, or any other computers that I'm aware of.

I have raspberry pi model-B board, which has 2 USB and 1 Ethernet port..
I am using NET20DC for communication between raspberry pi and laptop, i am not able to establish the proper communication madium. I want to run the program on raspberry pi which will fetch the hardware details (Vendor id and Product id of RAM, ROM, EPROM, FLASH, CPU, BIOS etc)of the laptop which is connected via NET20DC (Ajays Technologies product ).
Kindly guide me ..
