Subject: Hotplug and USB device removal
Date: Sat, 19 May 2001 02:05:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-hotplug-99023795831169@msgid-missing> (raw)
I'm building a USB flash programmer with an EZ-USB chip. So far, it
works fine, I'm able to plug in the device and have the hotplug
usb.agent script notice it and start my demon. All this demon does
is set permissions for the usbdevfs file and create a link in /var/run
to point to the device. Thusly, the application can access the device
as a normal user.
However, I would also like to use the hotplug system to notice the
removal of the device and *remove* my symbolic link. The scripts
currently do not support USB remove. It looks like the kernel sends
all the necessary messages, but the script just needs updating. Is
anyone working on this?
Also, as you guessed, I have a program that loads the ez-usb device
from user mode. It won't be much effort for me to polish up and
make it available to the world (especially since it supports sdcc
output) as a generic ez-usb loader, but there must be millions of
them out there:-)
