Re: USB HID device matching problem on Mac OS X



Srinidhi,

The only thoughts I can provide on this matter are that on the failure G4 cube case, either 1. the kext driver was not installed properly and so was not recognized as a possible driver, or 2, another driver was loaded in favor of your driver to support the device. Another possibility is that some startup condition required by your driver in the start, init or probe routine caused the function to fail.

To resolve this problem, install the appropriate debug version of USB, reboot, and launch USBProber. Go to the logging window, set the logging level to the highest setting, start logging, then attach your device. The log window will show how device matching went and what driver was associated with your device.

Hi all,

We have developed an USB HID kernel driver for a basic input device. We have
also followed the driver matching criteria suggested by Apple to a greater
extent. And the driver works (driver matching also) efficiently as expected.
So far so good....

But we are facing a strange problem, due to which I had to post this query.
We have tested our driver in various machines and OS. The machines vary from
an iMac G3 350 MHz to recent G5 (and OS from MAc OS X.1.3 to Mac OS X.2.7).
The driver is fine in most of the machines except in a G4 Cube and an iMac
G3 400 MHz machine.

Considering two identical G4 Cube machines, the driver matching fails in one
of them. We have loaded fresh copy of the Mac OS X.2.0 (even the build
number) on both the machines and used the same testing device (VID, PID are
same). In one of the machines, Apple USB HID driver gets loaded instead of
vendor specific driver developed by us.

We have read through mostly all the driver matching related mails in this
mailing list. We have also tried various driver matching options in
IOPersonality. We have also tried many dumb things!

Can anyone think of any outside chance for these kind of issue? Thanks in
advance for any suggestions.....

Best Regards

Srinidhi
