Re: endpoints and directions



Hi Bob,

Endpoint 0 is the Control endpoint, which is an IOUSBDevice thing (as opposed to an IOUSBInterface thing) and which must be present in every USB device. This endpoint does not show up in Prober.

GetNumEndpoints returns the number of endpoints used by the interface - EXCLUDING DEVICE ENDPOINT ZERO).

Does that help?

hi - more experiments with usb questions for you. so i'm using USB Prober to generally grok what interfaces and endpoints a device has. but when i look at it in USB Prober i see something like:

        Interface #0 - Vendor-specific
            Endpoint 0x02 - Bulk Output
            Endpoint 0x86 - Bulk Input

but when i dig into it with iterators around both the interfaces and endpoints, i see two endpoints, but the first claims to be of type kUSBAnyDirn, and the second of kUSBOut. not to mention that the example code i'm using as a base says that endpoint 0 is always the control. color me confused.

anyway, the problem seems to be with the any. if i crank my endpoint iterator to go one past the result of GetNumEndpoints, i do see three endpoints, that, in-order, show: kUSBAnyDirn, kUSBOut, and kUSBIn. based on what i know of the device, this looks more correct.

the question is, however, who's lying? is USB Prober reporting results incorrectly? am i using the iterator and GetNumEndpoints incorrectly? do various things function differently if an endpoint is of kUSBAnyDirn?

thanks!
bob
