This is the thing so far:
I cant get ctrol_transfer to work in anyway. It will always give an error.
Calling it even without payload:
# find our device
dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=TI_VENDOR_ID, idProduct=TI_3410_PRODUCT_ID)
dev.set_configuration()
# was it found?
if dev is None:
raise ValueError('Device not found')
print dev
print dev.bNumConfigurations
interface = dev.get_interface_altsetting()
--- here try detach ---
# Setting configuration
if dev.bNumConfigurations == 1:
raise "ERROR: The firmware was not yet uploaded"
elif dev.get_active_configuration().bConfigurationValue == 1:
dev.set_configuration(TI_ACTIVE_CONFIG)
else:
print "Configuration already set in ", TI_ACTIVE_CONFIG
requesttype = (usb.util.CTRL_TYPE_VENDOR |
usb.util.CTRL_RECIPIENT_DEVICE | usb.util.CTRL_OUT)
command = 1 #USBCTRL_WRITE_DATA
value = 2
moduleid = 3 #USBCTRL_RAM_PORT
msg = None
print requesttype, command, value, moduleid, msg, 0
print dev.ctrl_transfer(requesttype,command, value, moduleid, None)
msg = [48, 1, 1, 0, 0, 255, 164, 48, 255]
print dev.ctrl_transfer(requesttype,command, value, moduleid, msg)
I readed all of the pertinent source code of pyusb until the call to
libusb, and I myself cant find what the problem is.
The "msg" can be any interable type and is converted then with
buff=array.array('B', data)
addr, length = buff.buffer_info()
length *= buff.itemsize
print bmRequestType, bRequest, wValue, wIndex,
cast(addr,POINTER(c_ubyte)), length, timeout
ret = _check(_lib.libusb_control_transfer(dev_handle,
bmRequestType,
bRequest,
wValue,
wIndex,
cast(addr,
POINTER(c_ubyte)),
length,
timeout))
and is HERE where it fails.
The definition of this function is here:
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__syncio.html#gadb11f7a761bd12fc77a07f4568d56f38
The device IS responding because i do can set the configuration, and
if the driver is not detached, it says "Device busy".
How is it, that any control transfer works? It sound like a problem
setting the correct data types between pyusb and libusb.
I need an example on pyusb to do a working control transfer, to
something that is known to work.
Any way, the only and only LIBUSB_ERROR_IO raised by ctrl_transfer is
on the same libusb library which calls usbfs on an implementation in
the file linux_usbfs.c function submit_control_transfer with the next
lines of code:
http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/browser/src/router/usb_modeswitch/libusb/libusb/os/linux_usbfs.c?rev=12369#L1518
There isnt any other reference to LIBUSB_ERROR_IO.
Cheers.
