Hello, I am from the company "Code Mercenaries GmbH" from Germany. We have some USB HID devices wich work with Linux. Since kernel version 2.6 our default products will be included in the kernel. Devicedetails VendorID: 0x07C0 ProductIDs: 0x1500, 0x1501, 0x1511, 0x1512, 0x1503 Devicename: iowarrior Now we have some new custom product IDs but this two new devices get no node in dev/usb/ , but I can find the with "lsusb". If I run "modinfo iowarrior" there will be 5 alias (with the default pIDs) . The two new pIDs are: 0x158A, 0x158B I have not much experiance with linux (I work with Ubuntu 12.04).
Same OS and version, but I have no /dev/usb/ directory at all. My guess
is your problem isn't about modules. I do have /dev/input/ though :).
What are you saying; does it not work? If it has standard buttons
(mouse/keyboard equiv), do they work under X?
Check out "ls-input" and "input-events" (apt-get install input-utils).
"evtest" is similar, maybe slightly friendlier (apt-get install evtest).
You can check that your module has bound to the device by inspecting /sys/.
v-- try replacing usbhid with "iowarrior"
$ ls /sys/module/usbhid/drivers/usb:*/
3-2:1.0 bind module new_id remove_id uevent unbind
^-- USB address of my standard device (mouse)
You could also see the device nodes created by udev, if you run "udevadm
monitor --property" and plug the device in. It's very verbose, but the
last event should probably show DEVNAME=/dev/input/eventNN (and
SUBSYSTEM=input near the end).
What have be done to get the device nodes to work with them? Have I add some rules? Or have I edit the iowarrior.ko?
I don't think you need to add custom udev rules. Alan
