I have been developing USB drivers using LibUSB on Linux, but now I want to have one of my drivers compiled for Windows (this is the first time I am doing it).
My environment
I am working on Windows 7 using the MinGW compiler (also using Dev-cpp IDE), and I am using a pre-compiled libusb library downloaded from this link.
My device: It's a HID touch device. So no drivers are required for Windows. I have an additional endpoint to get certain debug data.
My code:
I have compiled code to list all the devices and USB devices connected to my machine, and the code works. Now I add code to open the device so that I get a device handle and start communication. But the function returns -12 That is, LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED.
How can I fix this problem?
I searched through the Internet and did not find a definite solution for this problem. While it's code which works beautifully on Linux.
P.S.: I have added the whole code below. The DoList(); function works fine, but the GetTRSDevice(); function fails at libusb_open(dev, &handle);.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <libusb.h>
libusb_device_handle* deviceHandle = NULL;
int DoList();
libusb_device_handle* GetTRSDevice(void);
int main()
{
int ret = libusb_init(NULL);
if (ret < 0) {
printf("Failed to init libusb");
return ret;
}
DoList();
deviceHandle = GetTRSDevice();
if(!deviceHandle) {
printf("Failed to locate device");
goto fail_dev_open;
}
printf("Device opened");
libusb_close(deviceHandle);
fail_dev_open:
libusb_exit(NULL);
return(ret);
}
int DoList()
{
libusb_device **devs;
ssize_t cnt;
cnt = libusb_get_device_list(NULL, &devs);
if (cnt < 0)
return (int) cnt;
libusb_device *dev;
int i = 0;
while ((dev = devs[i++]) != NULL) {
struct libusb_device_descriptor desc;
int r = libusb_get_device_descriptor(dev, &desc);
if (r < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "failed to get device descriptor");
return(-1);
}
printf("%04x:%04x (bus %d, device %d)\n",
desc.idVendor, desc.idProduct,
libusb_get_bus_number(dev), libusb_get_device_address(dev));
}
libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1);
return 0;
}
libusb_device_handle* GetTRSDevice(void)
{
int i = 0;
ssize_t cnt;
libusb_device *dev;
libusb_device **devs;
libusb_device_handle* handle = NULL;
cnt = libusb_get_device_list(NULL, &devs);
if (cnt < 0) {
printf("Failed libusb_get_device_list");
return(0);
}
while ((dev = devs[i++]) != NULL) {
struct libusb_device_descriptor desc;
int ret = libusb_get_device_descriptor(dev, &desc);
if (ret < 0) {
printf("Failed libusb_get_device_descriptor");
continue;
}
if(desc.idVendor == 0X238f && desc.idProduct == 1) {
int ret = libusb_open(dev, &handle);
if (ret < 0) {
printf("Failed libusb_open: %d\n\r",ret);
break;
}

}

return(handle);
