Re: matching against composite/HID device



Hi Shaun,

First of all, it appears to me that you don't really need a driver for the IOUSBDevice, as the AppleUSBComposite driver should handle your needs for you.

As far as the IOUSBInterface driver goes, is there a difference between when the device is plugged in at boot time and when it is plugged in after boot? This may be a problem with the IOUSBHIDDriver being a higher priority at boot time.

I've written a driver for a composite device (Cypress EZ-USB) and the current firmware provides only one config, with one interrupt pipe: bInterfaceClass 3 (HID). My device driver is successfully matched by vendor/product, and configures the devices, but I can't seem to position my interface driver ahead of IOUSBHIDDriver, which is matching with a score of 50000. I've tried vendor/product/interfaceNumber/configurationValue, and many other combinations, all with no success. I need to maintain exclusive access to the interface, but HID always gets there first. In my driver, I have to intercept all I/O and process it in-kernel thru another kext, which optionally publishes the data in /dev, filters and routes it elsewhere, etc. I'm writing a framework to wrap my protocol API, to abstract the different kinds of hardware and transports. Suggestions? TIA~
