Native USB API for Rust

Heavily inspired by the C http://libusb.info driver.

Rust usbapi crate only support Linux ATM.

UsbAPI crate does not have any dependies on libusb C API's and is a clean implementation in Rust using ioctl/mmap calls on Linux using nix low level crate.

You are free to fork or send pull request and make it work on any of the below platforms.

Dependies

• serde
• serde-hex
• nix/libc
• mio

dev-dependies

Examples uses:

• signal-hook
• serde_json
• toml

Supported functions in Linux

• Enumerate USB peripherals
• Zero copy using mmap buffers.
• Sync bulk/control API's
• Async bulk transmissions
• Descriptors implements serde for easy serializing to JSON, Toml etc...

TODO

When I started this project I was new in Rust. Some stuff need to be done better:

• USBCore should be done as trait(s) for easier porting to other platforms.
• Fix possible leak in sync_respond()
• Add isochronous support
• Use log crate instead of eprintln and println for debug.

For those who use any of below platforms, feel free to send a pull request:

• Support FreeBSD/OpenBSD
• Support NetBSD
• Support Haiku
• Support OSX
• Support Windows
