I'm trying to extract real-time data from a Wacom Inkling
Roel Janssen has already examined the packets here:
// Some kind of handshaking.
// Values obtained by sniffing the USB connection between SketchManager and the device.
unsigned char usb_data[33];
memset (&usb_data, '\0', 33);
int bytes = 0;
memcpy (&usb_data, "\x80\x01\x03\x01\x02\x00\x00\x00", 8);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle,
0x21, // bmRequestType
9, // bRequest
0x0380, // wValue
0, // wIndex
usb_data, // data
33, // wLength
0); // timeout
memcpy (&usb_data, "\x80\x01\x0a\x01\x01\x0b\x01\x00", 8);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle, 0x21, 9, 0x0380, 0, usb_data, 33, 0);
memset (&usb_data, '\0', 33);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle, 0xa1, 1, 0x0380, 0, usb_data, 33, 0);
memcpy (&usb_data, "\x80\x01\x0b\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00", 8);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle, 0x21, 9, 0x0380, 0, usb_data, 33, 0);
memcpy (&usb_data, "\x80\x01\x02\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00", 8);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle, 0x21, 9, 0x0380, 0, usb_data, 33, 0);
memcpy (&usb_data, "\x80\x01\x0a\x01\x01\x02\x01\x00", 8);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle, 0x21, 9, 0x0380, 0, usb_data, 33, 0);
memset (&usb_data, '\0', 33);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle, 0xa1, 1, 0x0380, 0, usb_data, 33, 0);
I'm trying to rewrite this code using HID API which has a very minimal API (here)
I'm going to attempt to just use hid_write
for now, but there is maybe a chance this handshake is sending a feature report...?
Is there anyone out there who can look at that bytestream and see what is going on?
EDIT: It appears the Inkling exposes a FlashDrive and HID interface, so I am guessing this bytecode must be selecting the HID interface and telling it to start sending data. But can I code it in a more elegant / human readable form?
EDIT: I have it working! Both hid_write
and hid_send_feature_report
work!
hid_device* handle = hid_open(inklingVendorId, inklingProductId, NULL);
jassert(handle != nullptr);
int bytes_written =
hid_send_feature_report(handle, (const unsigned char *)"\x80\x01\x03\x01\x02\x00\x00\x00", 8) +
hid_send_feature_report(handle, (const unsigned char *)"\x80\x01\x0a\x01\x01\x0b\x01\x00", 8) +
hid_send_feature_report(handle, (const unsigned char *)"\x80\x01\x0b\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00", 8) +
hid_send_feature_report(handle, (const unsigned char *)"\x80\x01\x02\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00", 8) +
hid_send_feature_report(handle, (const unsigned char *)"\x80\x01\x0a\x01\x01\x02\x01\x00", 8);
jassert(bytes_written == 5*8);
const int enable_nonblocking = 1, disable_nonblocking = 0;
jassert( hid_set_nonblocking(handle, disable_nonblocking) != FAIL); // want to block
while(true) {
int bytes_got = hid_read(handle, usb_data, 10);
... However I would still like to understand what is going on. This is rather hacky.

So this is one single report you send over USB:
80 01 03 01 02 00 00 00 .... (in total the buffer is 1+32 = 33 bytes)
^^ Report ID
This is the relevant part from the HID descriptor:
...
Item(Global): Report ID, data= [ 0x80 ] 128
Item(Global): Report Size, data= [ 0x08 ] 8
Item(Global): Report Count, data= [ 0x20 ] 32
Item(Main ): Feature, data= [ 0x02 ] 2
Data Variable Absolute No_Wrap Linear
Preferred_State No_Null_Position Non_Volatile Bitfield
This says that your data for Report ID 0x80 has to be interpreted as 32 times one byte (it's meaning is up to the driver I guess). It is a Feature which means that it can configure the device via GET_FEATURE
/SET_FEATURE
reports over the control endpoint.
For more information about how to interpret this descriptor, see the HID v1.1 specification from http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/.

1) Verify that the Inkling uses HID USB device class. Try lsusb -v
and check the bDeviceClass
or bInterfaceClass
field in the output (The USB human interface device class can be used to describe both device and interface classes. The interface class is used when a USB device can contain more than one function. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_human_interface_device_class) In the manual (https://www.wacom.com/~/media/files/store-manuals/inkling-manual-english.pdf) is said that it is a USB flash drive, in this case it uses USB mass storage device class (BULK transfer)
2) If it is a USB HID device class you can try to get the feature reports (if the inkling sends any) similar to this website http://libusb.6.n5.nabble.com/How-to-get-HID-report-td4628.html
libusb_get_descriptor
makes standard GET_DESCRIPTOR requests, where the
bmRequestType
field is 0x80. The DT_REPORT descriptor request must
indicate that the recipient is an interface, which requires
bmRequestType
to be 0x81.
You have two good choices. The report descriptors are all included in the configuration descriptor, so you should be able to fetch the whole configuration descriptor en masse and parse it to extract the report descriptors.
Alternatively, libusb_get_descriptor
is a very thin layer over
libusb_control_transfer
, so you could just expand it by hand:
res = libusb_control_transfer( devh, LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_IN |
LIBUSB_RECIPIENT_INTERFACE,
LIBUSB_REQUEST_GET_DESCRIPTOR, (LIBUSB_DT_REPORT << 8) | 0, 0, buf,
sizeof(buf), 1000);
more links: - http://eleccelerator.com/tutorial-about-usb-hid-report-descriptors/ http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb1.shtml
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
libusb_control_transfer
performs USB control transfers. Control transfers are used for command and status operations, see this http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__syncio.html and this http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb4.shtml#Control
USB control requests are a subtype of USB requests, see http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb6.shtml
usb_data
seems to be the USB send buffer, it is always filled with the data bytes, then the libusb_control_transfer
is send
This is the commented form of the USB control request (http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb6.shtml)
memcpy (&usb_data, "\x80\x01\x03\x01\x02\x00\x00\x00", 8);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle,
0x21, // bmRequestType
9, // bRequest
0x0380, // wValue
0, // wIndex
usb_data, // data
33, // wLength
0); // timeout
This is the short form of the USB control request
memcpy (&usb_data, "\x80\x01\x0a\x01\x01\x0b\x01\x00", 8);
bytes += libusb_control_transfer (handle, 0x21, 9, 0x0380, 0, usb_data, 33, 0);
So all the byte sequences like "\x80\x01\x03\x01\x02\x00\x00\x00"
are commands codes that are used to configure the Inkling ('handshake') and only the Inkling and the Wacom folks understand...
