Hi All,
As part of diagnostics I have to make sure the USB controller is
configured correctly.
Can I get this information from any entry in /sys or /proc ?? If yes where
??
If no I plan to add a exclusive entry in the driver to do my diagnostics.
Is that feasible by reading some of the registers in
the controller ??
Praveen

You have looked at the debugfs files for the usb controllers for this
type of thing already, right?

Hi Greg,
What type of diagnostics are you trying to do?
I am trying to is to make communication to all the chips present
on board (from kernel) and make sure all the input/output lines are working
on that chip and the status of the configuration.
As I am doing with the other chips like video controller ,audio controller
etc ,I want to make sure the working condition of the USB controller and
some tests to prove input and output lines are working and if possible loop
back data test.
How can it not be configured correctly?
I am not sure in which condition the configuration of controller may fail
but just I want to make sure the controller is configured properly.
You have looked at the debugfs files for the usb controllers for this
type of thing already, right?
I have seen debugfs where I can dump all the configuration reg values ,but
not sure to see which reg values to confirm controller is configured
properly.
Also I was trying to get the linux-usb project (
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Git) through git to make
use of some code in there for some of the tests but I am not able to get it.
Is there any alternative link from where I can get the code (like lsusb.c
etc )..
Thanks ,
Praveen

Good luck with that, it might be hard to do from within the kernel :)

usbutils are on github, look in your distro for the location of the
source.
