Take a look at libusb - it's cross-platform.

Can you see your device in the command output lsusb? If yes, then you must check the vendor Id and Product Id of the same.

Probably in Linux there is already a driver available to make bulk data transfer from concerned USB device (your USB device).

You can check this (http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids) to verify whether a driver is available or not.

To make your own program and API's, as stated above libusb is a place to start, if you don't want to write a driver for your device.
