Hivoo. Help me with little little question.

I trying to connect my USB keyboard and write data, but....



something like that....
//---------------------------------------------------//
char * dev = "/dev/usb/hiddev0"; /// or char * dev = "/proc/bus/usb/003/001";
fd = open(dev, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK))

// and now i try write to fd

unsigned char outbuff[USB_BUFFSIZE];
int bytes = write(fd,&outbuff,USB_BUFFSIZE);

// but bytes returned -1 and errno returned EINVAL.

WHY????? HELP PLEASE!!! ANYBODY HELP elsewhere i did my SUICIDE!

ok odds are that your usb keyboard needs initialization. It may need you to send it some configuration string that turns the device online. Read in the manual search online, etc for your brand of keyboard and programming related to it. Also a possiblity is that, you need to talk through the ioctl() function. THis is the case with the HID that i am working on. I will try to help you with that once i have cracked through that problem.

Hi,
We are working on the same project... so give me your email
I would like to read and write informations (just some bytes) with USB.
(For information my device is a pic which works in low speed in interrupt transfer .)
That works properly under windows...
And now reading from device is succeful under linus-2.4.20.

First, I 'd like to know if hid is the only driver for my device?
Secondly how do I use the libusb? where can I find it?

I use the file /dev/usb/hiddev0.
Here is your program:

typedef struct {
unsigned hid;
signed int value;
} hiddev_event;

main(){
ssize_t bytesread;
int FILEDES;
hiddev_event *buffer;

buffer=(hiddev_event *)malloc(sizeof(hiddev_event));

FILEDES=open("/dev/usb/hiddev0",O_RDONLY);

bytesread=1;
while(bytesread>0){
bytesread=read(FILEDES,buffer,sizeof(hiddev_event));

if(bytesread!=sizeof(hiddev_event)){
exit(1);
}
printf("Unknown event bytes=%d hid=%d value=%d\n",
bytesread,buffer->hid,buffer->value);
}
}

When I try to write in fd (in order to write to the device) errno return me the value 22(EINVAL) although I open fd in O_WRONLY or O_RDWR...



Please help me.
