Determining USB device information for Linux
An open source program called "usbview" is available on the SourceForge website. There are three
different programs called "usbview". The one to use is the "original" version. This is the plain usbview
that was registered on "1999-12-20" and is administered by "kroah". Do not use "usbview2" or
"usbview-1.8". The URL for this software is:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbview
Verifying the USB data
Once a device has been identified using one of the previous methods, you should verify that the
correct device was used. This can be done by consulting one of the many USB ID lists. There are
documents that contain most of the registered Vendor IDs and Device IDs. There are different
documents that contain the different registered classes and subclasses. By comparing the values of
the device to these documents, the user can verify that they are looking at the correct device and not
some other device that is also plugged into the system.
The linux-usb group keeps an up-to-date list of registered USB Vendor IDs and Device IDs. This
document resides on the
http://www.linux-usb.org site at:
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
The registered classes and subclasses are documented by the USB Device Working Group (DWG).
The latest document from DWG for 1.0 defined class codes is hosted at:
