USBView compiled in OpenEmbedded

April 27, 2021 — BarryK

Someone posted about USBView not working, running BionicPup I think, and they installed it from the PPM package manager.

I found the homepage, looks like it might be useful:

http://www.kroah.com/linux-usb/

And project repository:

https://github.com/gregkh/usbview/tags

I have compiled it in OE and it will be in the next release of Easy.

It does require debugfs to be mounted, like this:

# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

I have created a little wrapper that does this, if required, before running the 'usbview' executable. It will be in the "System" menu.

EDIT 2021-04-28:
The forum post I mentioned above, about running USBView in BionicPup, is here:
