Hi all

I am trying to develop a USB drivers using the jungo Driver development kit. I am using a Rehat 2.6 to test the driver.

Redhat Default uses a driver called usb_storage to recognize and run the usb Pen drives. I want to change this, and make it to use my driver how do i do it ?


Thanks for all the help

Can you not lsmod, modprobe -r usb_storage, and modprobe your driver? Or do you have to take usb_storage out of the kernel? You could modprobe yours in the startup script (/etc/rc.rd/rc.local on some of the oldest GNU/Linux distros.) I have not made drivers, but if you do I do not see why you do not say a specific problem trying to take out usb_storage and add your driver. Assuming you have compiled a driver, you make a folder in /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/, which has a 'storage' folder where it looks like you could put your files, and in 'storage' is a Makefile in which you can add the commands to make your driver. The Makefile has some advanced commands, but if you got this far it should be relatively easy to figure out make. You might have to check if you have to add anything to .config (also called defconfig, etc.) or System.map (also called System) in the linux src folders.

hi thanks for the suggestions. I did try modprobe -r. It does remove the driver, but as soon as i plug in the pen drive it automatically stats again.hos do is stop this from happening and make the USB use the other driver.

thanks

You might have to do something to the hardware autodetection driver, which is likely described as a 'hotplug' driver (even for stuff on the outside of a computer.) Other than that, I am not sure what configuration file might list the current/defualt driver setup that auto-modprobes usb_storage. You could also just temporarily rename your driver usb_storage, or maybe read man/info/xman modprobe's 'see also' in case any other commands might solve this.
