This happened to me as well. I noticed that if I called USBDeviceOpen(), or USBInterfaceOpen(), I'd usually get an error on the first call. Just to be stubborn, I tried calling the open command again after it failed, and it opened successfully.

I don't have an explanation for it (possibly uninitialized variable?), it works, so I moved on. At the very least, it's an idea to try.

It sounds like Classic has control of the device -- retrying USBDeviceOpen()/USBInterfaceOpen() is part of the procedure for getting Classic to release a device it has open.

Steve,

Re-checking my facts (yes, I should have done this prior to sending my first message), this is happening to me in the kernel. My apologies for confusing the userland API with the kernel API. I'm well aware of the Classic-seizing situation with regard to userland and have been deploying the Classic-Not-Seize driver.

Classic is not running at the time that I'm experiencing my problem, however. My problem, if you're curious, is as follows:

I get an IOUSBInterface* for the interface I want, and I call IOUSBInterface->open(). I get the error:
"IOUSBInterface[..]::handleOpen failing because super::handleOpen failed (someone already has it open)."


Trying to open the interface a second time, it works successfully. Now, if Classic isn't running, and no other code of mine is opening the interface, what's going on?
