Hi,
Developing kernel extension for USB bulk and control type transfer for Mac OS X 10.3.9 , 10.4 ppc and Intel Mac.


Some time back I posted a query for issues coming in cross- communication of user-level with kernel level. Below is one of the way I found out for cross communication. Please send your comments for the same:

Since you're writing both a kernel driver and a custom user client, could you instead use the existing USB userland APIs from your application? The end result is the same: you'd be able to send USB commands from your application. Leveraging services already in the OS would save you lots of development.


Check out IOKit.framework/Headers/usb/IOUSBLib.h and related documentation and sample code on <http://developer.apple.com/>.
