[Libusb-devel] USb switch interface/driver

[Sanjeev L. <sur...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I need to develop an interface/program for my USB
device which is a custom made switch. The progream
should take data from the user and send out ONE data
packet to the switch accordingly.

Description of the switch: 

 The switch(custom made) is connected to the USB PORT
 of my Linux box running Redhat Linux 7.1.
 
 The switch has four RJ 45 connectors for ethernet
 cables and it needs to exchange data packets of
 size 8 bytes every .5 seconds  or so. The Transmit
 ethernet port(1,2,3,4) and Receive ethernet
 port(1,2,3,4) are specified by the user for each     
transfer and the data packet which is to be sent out
changes accordingly. 

 But the switch receives only ONE packet for all the 
ports. Based on the packet information, the ethernet
 connections are set up.
 
 Please let me know if I could use libusb to develop
this. If not, what could I use?

 I also installed libusb but during the make it
displayed a msg "documentation not supported. sgml
docs will not be built" Please also let me know where
I could access the  manual for libusb.
  
Regards,
Sanjeev.
