linux - Determine USB device file Path -


how can usb device file path correctly in linux. used command: find / -iname "usb" , got result below:

/dev/bus/usb /sys/bus/usb /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb /sys/kernel/debug/usb 

under /dev/bus/usb see:

001  002  003  004  005  006 

but think aren't files need.

under /sys/bus/usb/devices/:

sh-3.2# ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/ 1-0:1.0  1-1:1.0  3-0:1.0  5-0:1.0  usb1     usb3     usb5 1-1      2-0:1.0  4-0:1.0  6-0:1.0  usb2     usb4     usb6 

and under /sys/bus/scsi/devices/ when pluged usb see:

2:0:0:0      host0        host2        target2:0:0 

and when removed usb see:

sh-3.2# ls host0 

so device file used usb? how can indentify it? need make c program usb device file...

further more, explain me number 1-1:1.0? mean?

thank you.

so device file used usb? how can indentify it?

what see behind /sys/ configuration/information devices. /dev/bus/usb looking for. think following article can you

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7466?page=0,0

is quite old, still can you. (in article speak /proc/bus/usb, today have /dev/bus/usb)

further more, explain me number 1-1:1.0? mean?

the generic form is

x-y.z:a.b 

each field identify connection point of device. first 2 field mandatory:

  • x usb bus of motherboard connected usb system.
  • y port in use on bus system

so usb device identified string 3-3 device connected on port 3 of bus 3.

if connect usb hub, extending connection capability of single usb port. linux kernel identify situation appending z field.

  • z port use on hub

so, usb device identified string 1-2.5 device connected on port 5 of hub connected on port 2 of bus 1.

usb specification allow connect in cascade more 1 usb hub, linux kernel continue append port in use on different hubs. so, usb device identified string 1-2.1.1 device connected on port 1 of hub connected on port 1 of hub connected port 2 of bus 1.

a fast way retrieve these information read kernel messages (if can).

$ dmesg | grep usb [... snip ...] [ 2.047950] usb 4-1: new full-speed usb device number 2 using ohci_hcd [ 2.202628] usb 4-1: new usb device found, idvendor=046d, idproduct=c318 [ 2.202638] usb 4-1: new usb device strings: mfr=1, product=2, serialnumber=0 [ 2.202643] usb 4-1: product: logitech illuminated keyboard [ 2.202648] usb 4-1: manufacturer: logitech [... snip ...] 

then, last 2 fields of pattern (after colon) identify internal section of usb device :

  • a configuration number of device
  • b interface number of configuration

so, string 4-1:1.1 means: interface 1, on configuration 1 connected on port 1 of bus 4.

you can retrieve these information command lsusb.
