I have implemented a USB device using functionfs. A colleague now says our app must run as a normal user, not as root.
I tried it and it does not work. The problem is this - the endpoint files created by the OS are owned by root. These ep files are created after I write the descriptors and strings to the /dev/usbffs/ep0 file. $ ls -l /dev/usbffs/ total 0 -rw-rw-rw- 1 xyzuser xyzgrp 0 Dec 5 21:36 ep0 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 5 21:39 ep1 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 5 21:39 ep2 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 5 21:39 ep3 A normal user-space app cannot open, write, read, these ep files. Is there a remedy for this?
