Re: Merging ugen into the usb stack



Hi,

It doesn't solve the generic (no pun intended) problem of raw ugen access to arbitrary other devices, e.g. for use by USB over IP
http://usbip.sourceforge.net/

Of course, a better approach may be to add detach kernel driver functionality:
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__dev.html#ga21bd343325f558987ca57e4e281a6d47

While this may be a good idea in general, for this particular use case
it will not work as expected (at lease expected by me):  By detaching
the (original) uftdi driver from the device, you would not only have to
drive the jtag channel from userland, but the serial line on the second
channel, too.

Ciao,
Wolfgang
