Greetings: I need some help here. I am trying to develop a driver for an "EnsureTechnologies Xyloc Model U-1" USB-based security device. It is basically an RFID receiver and matchbook sized serialized remote - the RFID receiver detects when the remote is within range and reports back to the computer the serial number of the remote as well as signal strength. The idea being that if you leave your computer (which is protected with the device), the computer will automatically lock until you (and the remote presumably) return to the computer.
Anyhow, the device appears to require a non-standard function code in the URB header, code 0019. SnoopyPro (yeah, on Windows) says this function code is "Vendor Endpoint". Obviously, there isn't any current way to send such a function code with the Linux USB stack. Problem is, the device will not accept the data payloads from a control message. It also doesn't help that the device is making heavy use of undocumented request codes as well. According to the SnoopyPro logs, the device makes very heavy use of the "Vendor Endpoint" function code - after device setup, every command from the host to device is under this function code. Anyhow, I would like to get this device working somehow under Linux. The manufacturer has been absolutely no help - completely unresponsive (no surprise there). My questions: 1) is there any way to send a "custom" function code through the Linux USB stack and 2) can you offer any advice on how to approach this problem. Thanks!
