RE: PICDEM FS USB demo application

Thanks for the fast reply. My intention is really to port
it to Windows but so far not successful. I've posted the
question to libusb-win32 mailing list since I have same
problems when porting usb_pickit.

My quick modification is quite minimum:
1) add the makefile for Linux and Windows. I do not know
how to combine both Make files since I know not so much
about host programming. :(

2) add the usage prompt (copied from fsusb) to make it slightly
user-friendly. :) That is because I did not download the
readme file last time.

3) split the endpoint address. Linux libusb does not
care about direction bits but Windows libusb-win32 cares.

4) add "#ifndef Win32" to comment out geteuid call on Windows.

5)libusb-win32 does not use global variables like usb_busses so
instead of using:
/*  for (bus=usb_busses;bus!=NULL;bus=bus->next) */  
We need to use:  
for (bus=usb_get_busses();bus!=NULL;bus=bus->next)

6) I was trying to debug the windows version so I copied
fsusb version of "fsusb_read_version". It should be the
same as "picdem_fs_usb_read_version". Anyway I think the
problem is with difference of ubs_bulk_read and 
usb_bulk_write under Linux and Windows.

All the modification should not affect the Linux version and
I've tested it on Ubuntu Linux 5.04.

I will try again with the Windows port if I get some
answers from libusb-win32 mailing list. At the same time
I am learning the usb stuff by going through the firmware
codes and the datasheets. I think PICDEM FS USB is quite
a good learning tool for me.

Regards,
Xiaofan

Right here: :)

yep. it was based on the code for the pickit1 linux stuff.

I'll check it out later and integrate your changes into my code.
