Hi, for some third party USBasp (ISP flash programmer) clones I got some dubious situation:
These devices mainly consists of an ATmega 8A AU, which USB ports connect to a USB connector and smoe GPIOs are used to flash an attached microcontroller via ISP. That's the theory. Now I attach such a device to my Gentoo Linux box. dmesg saus: [ 1919.948832] usb 7-4: new low-speed USB device number 7 using ohci-pci [ 1920.108797] usb 7-4: New USB device found, idVendor=16c0, idProduct=05dc [ 1920.108805] usb 7-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 1920.108809] usb 7-4: Product: USBasp [ 1920.108812] usb 7-4: Manufacturer: www.fischl.de which looks ok to me. lsusb says: Bus 007 Device 007: ID 16c0:05dc Van Ooijen Technische Informatica shared ID for use with libusb Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x16c0 Van Ooijen Technische Informatica idProduct 0x05dc shared ID for use with libusb bcdDevice 1.02 iManufacturer 1 www.fischl.de iProduct 2 USBasp iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 18 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0x80 (Bus Powered) MaxPower 50mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 0 bInterfaceClass 0 bInterfaceSubClass 0 bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 0 Device Status: 0x0000 (Bus Powered) which also looks not that bad. ...but...I get no device under /dev/ like /dev/ttyUSB0 or such... there only an entry here ls -l /dev/bus/usb/007/007 crw-rw-r-- 1 root usb 189, 774 2017-08-30 17:56 007 Do I need more coffee or do I need more....what? Any help is much appreciated! Cheers Meino
