Typedefs

usb_host_interface_h
 USB interface handle.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct usb_host_interface_s* usb_host_interface_h

USB interface handle.

This type represents USB interface. An interface is a part of configuration and can have multiple endpoints. This handle can be obtained by usb_host_config_get_interface().

Since :
3.0

Function Documentation

int usb_host_claim_interface ( usb_host_interface_h  interface,
bool  force 
)

Claims interface.

Claims interface on a device. To perform I/O operations on interface user has to claim it. Remember to call usb_host_release_interface() when communication with the device is finished.

Since :
3.0
Parameters:
[in]interfaceThe bInterfaceNumber of interface to claim
[in]forceSet to true to auto detach kernel driver, set to false to not detach it
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
USB_HOST_ERROR_NONESuccessful
USB_HOST_ERROR_NOT_FOUNDRequested interface does not exist
USB_HOST_ERROR_RESOURCE_BUSYAnother program or driver has claimed the interface
USB_HOST_ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVICEDevice has been disconnected
USB_HOST_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter was passed
USB_HOST_ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_OPENEDThe device was not opened
int usb_host_interface_get_altsetting ( usb_host_interface_h  interface,
int *  altsetting 
)

Gets current alternative setting from an interface.

Since :
4.0
Parameters:
[in]interfaceInterface handle
[out]altsettingIndex of alternative setting set for the given interface
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
USB_HOST_ERROR_NONESuccessful
USB_HOST_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDNot supported
USB_HOST_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter was passed
int usb_host_interface_get_endpoint ( usb_host_interface_h  interface,
int  ep_index,
usb_host_endpoint_h ep 
)

Gets an endpoint from interface.

Get a USB endpoint from interface by its index.

Since :
3.0
Parameters:
[in]interfaceInterface handle
[in]ep_indexindex of endpoint to retrieve (counting from 0)
[out]epEndpoint handle
Remarks:
ep handle is no longer valid when config will be destroyed. There is no need to destroy it, it is done automatically when the configuration is destroyed.
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
USB_HOST_ERROR_NONESuccessful
USB_HOST_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter was passed
