I want to write an application to read data(iSerial info) from connected USB Hub to linux as well as connected other devices to that USB hub.
-> I want to first detect whether USB Hub Connected or Not to linux which I can identify using idVendor:idProduct
->if its connected I want to read its info then have to iterate trough all USB devices connected to that USB Hub and have to read that devices info too
I am using this USB Hub: https://www.cablematters.com/pc-873-126-usb-c-multiport-adapter-with-4k-hdmi-2x-usb-30-gigabit-ethernet-and-power-delivery.aspx which has 5 Port as follow:
1) USB-C for 80W laptop charging or 5Gbps data transfer
2) Gigabit Ethernet Network
3) 4K HDMI
4) USB 3.0
5) USB 3.0
Test1: Initial USB devices:

As when I connect USB Hub to PC I guess root device is this one
Bus 003 Device 062: ID 2109:8817 VIA Labs, Inc. USB-C Multiport Adapter
then how does I list all devices connected under this root node in this case its Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
sample code which I am using this one to list all USB devices: https://github.com/libusb/libusb/blob/master/examples/listdevs.c
However I am not sure how to determine Parent->Child relationship between listed all devices to perform following task:
pseudo code:
/* get all usb device using this API */
libusb_get_device_list(NULL, &devs);
/* find child devices connected to root device*/
print_devs(devs);
static void print_devs(libusb_device **devs)
{
libusb_device *dev;
int i = 0, j = 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;
}
if(desc.idVendor == rootDeviceidVendor && desc.idProduct == rootDevicepProduct){
/* want to list only devices connected to this hub device */
}
}
}
I remember doing this exact thing a couple of years ago, but I do not have the code at hand.
You have a very good start there, going through the list of devices; Then you need to call:
libusb_device *parent = libusb_get_parent(dev);
int r = libusb_get_device_descriptor(parent, &desc);
Now you can go ahead and check for proper desc.idVendor and desc.idProduct on this descriptor.
See spec of libusb_get_parent.
