Ok
After looking at it a while I and reading the documentation i understod
that endpoint 1 is a CONTROL endpoint and bidirectional, and endpoint 2 is
ISOCHRONOUS.
I tried to make ugen support CONTROL endpoints (at least let me open the
device RW). If I want to send control message to the pipe, is
usbd_do_request_flags() the right function (for control-message frameing as
described in the USB-spec) ? Looks that will do the right thing when I look
at other drivers, but I only get back EIO from the ioctl(), it goes thru
the 'if (err = USBD_STALLED)' case in usbd_do_request().
Sorry for inconsistent andstupid questions, but I haven't really understod
how all this fits together.
