opening USB device with libUSB on a virtual machine












0















I'm trying to implement the code from the following YouTube video by moellerIO:



https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=libusb



#include <iostream>
#include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>

using namespace std;

union int_thing {
unsigned char usb_data[4];
int32_t number;
};
void error(string s, int err) {
cout << s << " Error: " << libusb_error_name(err) << endl;
exit(err);
}

int main() {
int transfer_size;
int err;
libusb_device_handle* dev;

libusb_init(NULL);

dev = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(NULL, 0x0781 , 0x5575);
if (dev == NULL) {
cout << "DEVICE NOT FOUND, exiting." << endl;
return -1;
}

err = libusb_claim_interface(dev, 0);
if (err)
error("Cannot claim interface!", err);

err = libusb_set_interface_alt_setting(dev, 0, 0);
if (err)
error("Cannot set alternate settings!", err);

union int_thing number;

while (true) {

cout << "Send A number: ";
while (true) {
cin >> number.number;
if (cin.good())
break;
//cin.clear;
//cin.ignore( numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), 'n');
cout << "Try a number that can be expressed in 32 bits: ";
}

err = libusb_bulk_transfer(dev, 0x02, number.usb_data, sizeof(union int_thing), &transfer_size, 1000);
if (err)
error("Bulk OUT transfer failed!", err);


}
}


I'm trying to make a successful connection to a usb device, claim its interface and send a number to it. later on i will follow the exact protocols for transferring information to a mass storage device, but wright now i will be happy with establishing a connection.



the issue is that I'm getting "DEVICE NOT FOUND" all the time.
I am sure that I'm using the right credentials witch i picked up with



lsusb -v -d 0781:5575


not sure what I am doing wrong but I have a feeling it has something to do with using a VM? can anyone give me a tip?



by the way, I'm using Ubuntu on vmware workstation.
