For libusb-0.1 http://libusb.sourceforge.net/doc/function.usbdetachkerneldrivernp.html For libusb-1.0 http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__dev.html#ga0bc7a17090debf6d2b2711c505ad9725 To run the above as a normal user, you have to have the proper permission to do that (no need to being root), again the proper way is to use udev rules. > Also the problem would be, that it is the driver the one that loads > the firmware and initialices it. That is not a problem. After you attach the device, a driver loads the firmware to the device. Then maybe the same driver or a different driver is bound to the device with the firmware. To use libusb/pyusb, you detach the last driver bound to the device. > I have had experiences where an HID device can receive usb > transactions from a normal application. Even for HID device, you have to detach the kernel driver if you want to use libusb/pyusb to communicate with the device. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
