The common RI has a os interface package, com/ibm/jusb/os/, which should make porting and/or writing from scratch relatively easy (hopefully)...
First place to start is to create a UsbServices implementation. There is an AbstractUsbServices in the os package you can extend. The abstract package does provide the top-level virtual root hub, but you'll need to populate the rest of the tree. You can do the population either in a static initializer or the class initializer. But, the topology should be fully populated before you return the root UsbHub (or let anyone add a listener). The rules for creating the topology objects are (should be) defined in each of the classes, i.e. UsbDevice, UsbConfiguration, etc. The common RI os-interface could make this process easier, but the current setup requires the platform implementation to create its own topology objects. Once the topology is created, the common RI takes care of a lot of the API. The method calls coming in are all in the os package interfaces, e.g. UsbDeviceOsImp.asyncSubmit(), UsbPipeOsImp.asyncSubmit(), etc. Only the asyncSubmit(UsbIrp) is required to be implemented as all the other methods can boil down to that method; the os-package classes handle that. You're free to override any method of course if the platform provides a better way to implement it (e.g. in Linux, Isochronous submission of Lists is optimized). That's a start at least, don't forget hotplugging :) On Tue, 8 Mar 2005, Brad BARCLAY wrote: >Good-day Everyone: > > Before I try wending my way through the source code to figure it out >for myself, has anyone put together a porting guide for implementing >javax.usb on other platforms?
