Hi,
probably what you are saying is so important that solves my doubt about  a my 
misunderstanding about USB protocol and my idea to use the usbdump is totally 
wrong and no more usefull.

Foundamentally my goal is only understand if, pluging a usb device, a direct 
writing operation can or not occur from the processor into the usb device. 

So, please, let me ask another question to exclude all my misunderstanding.

You wrote:
“A processor runs on the USB device replying to this protocol. There is no 
direct hardware access. You need to ask the manufacturer which USB request 
returns the counter you are asking for”.

1- If "there is no direct hardware access", this means that the processor can 
only do read-only accesses to the USB device. Is it correct ? yes/no:

2- Speaking of “which USB request returns the counter” do you mean that the 
counter increment occurs "internally" following a request of the processor, 
excluding a direct writing operation of the processor into the usb device ?. Is 
it correct ? yes/no:

If so, your reply solves my limited knowledges of the usb protocol.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Hi,

I think you misunderstand what USB is. USB is a protocol. A processor 
runs on the USB device replying to this protocol. There is no direct 
hardware access. You need to ask the manufacturer which USB request 
returns the counter you are asking for.
