Device::USB ubuntu 13.10 and bulk read write problem

AlexSH has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello

I'm install Device::USB from apt-get on my Ubuntu machine. I have usb device. With wireshark i get protocol from anower software. The protocol used to communicate bulktransfer

but when i try implement it with Device::USB i have no luck

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict; 
use Device::USB;

    my $usb = Device::USB->new();
    my $dev = $usb->find_device( 0x2642,0x0669);

    printf "Device: %04X:%04X\n", $dev->idVendor(), $dev->idProduct();

    $dev->open ();
    $dev->claim_interface();
        $dev->set_configuration (0);

my $cmd = $dev->{config}->[0]->{interfaces}->[0]->[0]->{endpoints}->[0
+]->{bEndpointAddress};
my $string = $dev->{config}->[0]->{interfaces}->[0]->[0]->{endpoints}-
+>[1]->{bEndpointAddress};
my $data = $dev->{config}->[0]->{interfaces}->[0]->[0]->{endpoints}->[
+3]->{bEndpointAddress};

my $send = $dev->bulk_write($cmd,hex('dd'),1000);
my $data;
my $read = $dev->bulk_read($string,$data,64,1000);
$read = $dev->bulk_read($string,$data,64,1000);

I can't see any output in wireshark. And i have $send =-1 and read='-1'

What i'm missing ?

PS sorry for English

Turn on debug mode to determine what if anything is happening: debug_mode This class method enables low-level debugging messages from the library interface code. level 0 disables debugging, 1 enables some debug messages, and 2 enables verbose debug messages Any other values are forced to the nearest endpoint. -- From Device::USB When dealing with USB devices directly, I would suspect permissions on the device file as the culprit in most cases.

Update: see libusb and sync/asyc IO . I am happy to see this code, as I figure USB devices are going to proliferate. With only a small knowledge of how sockets work, and assuming USB would use a similar protocol, I'm guessing that you have a classic lockup condition, where both ends of the connection are trying to read, or trying to write, at the same time. Nothing gets thru. You need to get some sort of synchronization going, a protocol, like "over and out", means you are switching to listening, so the other end should now send. Possibly, just printing a few newlines on a line by themselves, would signal a protocol shift, by flushing the buffers, or whatever it is doing. I notice in the module's example code, they use alot of newlines. :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply]

I'm wondering if there may be an issue with the version of libusb installed on your system and Device::USB. Looking at Bug #90439 for Device::USB, someone was encountering "segfaults" and the module's maintainer suggested a possible work around of installing libusb 0.1. I realize that you're not hitting the exact same issue, but I'm just wondering if you might still be hitting an incompatibility between the code in Device::USB and your system's libusb.	[reply]

Thanks for all. I'm was stupid, it was permission error.	[reply]
