USB Support for RT

The only functionality of RT USB is mass storage. It would be helpful to add at least RAW Data USB support to use USB port for connecting i.e. USB / RS232 adapter. Many analyzers use integrated serial/USB converter chips to transfer data to PC, because no need of specialized driver (you get the driver with the chip). The ability of RAW USB support allows to connect these analyzers to cRIOs and RT PC Targets.

For VxWorks-based cRIO devices, we do support a USB-Raw functionality. You configure the USB device through MAX and you are then able to use NI-VISA to communicate with the device; it then requires the end-user to write a "driver" to communicate with the device using NI-VISA. It's fairly easy to do, but can be a support nightmare if you don't have the detailed spec sheet on the device. We're currently looking into options for providing this for PXI and Desktop RT systems.
I am not sure how "no specialized driver" fits in with "you get the driver with the chip" - USB/RS232 adapters generally use a USB-Serial bridge inside them, usually an FTDI or Prolific chipset. FTDI does not provide open source drivers, though someone reverse-engineered the device and wrote a driver in Linux that "supports" it - we would not be able to support FTDI devices under RT because there are no available open-source drivers for it (that's intentional on the part of FTDI). Prolific devices could be supported, at extra cost and development effort to port the Prolific drivers to RT. Just because a driver is "included" with a device for Windows doesn't mean it's not a "specialized driver" or that we can even use it on a platform not supported by the manufacturer (like RT).
We are always looking at ways we can improve LabVIEW Real-Time, and due to common request this is one of the areas we're investigating.

Java usb support for windows

Hello All
I do no know if this is the right place to post this topic, but does anyone know of an api that provides usb support for windows. I was looking a jusb, but the documentation says it only has support for linux. So far the best I have found is Mr Stahl's thesis which provides very limited support for windows. I was wondering if there was anything more stable (free or not)
Thanks

Hi,
Im trying to connect 2 computers using USB or Parallell port. On one computer I want to install a printer (regular windows printer) that prints through either USB or the Parallell port. On the other computer I want to listen on the Parallell port/USB port and receive the input and write it to a file.
Does anyone have a some sample code to do this? I've tried the following code (rxtx) but it cant find more than 2 ports (one parallel and one serial - no USBs even though I have 5 USB ports). Since I could only find the USB I tried to listen on the Parallell port. Problem is that I dont receive any data.
<---THE CODE--->
Enumeration port_list = gnu.io.CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
while (port_list.hasMoreElements ()) {
CommPortIdentifier port_id = (CommPortIdentifier)port_list.nextElement ();
          if(port_id.getPortType () == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_PARALLEL) {
               System.out.println("Found port "+port_id.getName()+ "id "+port_id);
               CommPort commPort = port_id.open("",2000);
               InputStream is = commPort.getInputStream();
               byte buffert[]=new byte[1024];
          int len;
          System.out.println(">>>>>>>>len "+is.read(buffert));
          while((len=is.read(buffert))==-1)
               Thread.sleep(500);
               is = commPort.getInputStream();
               System.out.println(">>>>>>>>len "+len);

USB Support For 2TB+ Hard Drives

Can anyone tell me if the T-61 supports (access the drives full capacity) multi-terabyte hard drives?
Under XP?
Win7?
I.e. 3 TB Sata drives in a USB 2.0 external enclosure..
Thaniks in advance,
C.

There are no (realistic) limitations as of now for how big an USB-drive can be, that I know of. I admit, I haven't tested anything larger than 2TB, but that works fine, single partition, no problems whatsoever.
The only "problem" being, of course, that the T61 only supports USB 2.0, which isn't really the quickest - unless you have a FW-port, of course.
EDIT: This is valid for Vista (and I assume Windows 7) - dunno about XP, but I have a feeling it might be a bit more picky...

USB Support for ZTE MF668 on SRP521W ?

We have a number of clients who could use this device with their Rogers Rocket stick if it was added to the supported devices.
Any word on additional device support in up coming firmware releases?

you might want to try this:
http://blogs.sun.com/danielc/entry/a_usb_drive_daemon_for1
it is not supported as it is a "custom" solution..
right now it is now working for me, without the vdi part, that is, I am
testing it from a sunray solaris session, nothing is shown in the
windoze session ... not even using a local directory .. that is
if I use
utts -r disk:Docs=Documents
I dont see any Docs directory in the file mgr in windows ... dont know
what's going on, maybe the utts is broken ..

USB support for National Intruments Measure for windows

We currently use measure to comminicate with instruments and to return data in to Excel spreadsheets using the GPIB and Serial add ins for Excel. More and more instruments are moving away from these two forms of communication and are using USB connections. Is there a suitible add in to be able to communicate using the USB connection that will work like the GBIB and Serial addin's for measure.

Hi Andrew
The best way to communicate with USB devices is through NI-VISA, i have included a link within this reply that has some information on how usb devices, measurement studio and NI-VISA can all be linked to communicate data efficiently.

USB/Flash support for Mountain Lion

What App is availiable on app store as USB support for mountain lion? There was one 'USBmate'. Is it okay? If not please tell me how to get the USB support. I have downoaded installation of ML but have not installed it because backups have to be on external HDD. Please help me.

I don't know to what you are referring. I think you mean a bootable USB flash drive for installing OS X. If so, then know there is no such thing for Mountain Lion. There was for Lion, but it is no longer available. Apple never included any installer disc for computers with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed.
Reinstalling Lion or Mountain Lion is done through the Internet Recovery - OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
If you download Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store you can save the installer application and make a bootable installer from it:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

10.6.8 Update - No USB Support - Help!

Early 2008 MBP under warranty for another 34 days. Nothing interesting installed beyond usual Mac, MS and Adobe software. Occassionally run Parallels 6, but not today and not recently.
At 9:00 was offered the auto update to 10.6.8. Closed open apps and let the MBP do its thing.
On reboot the usual screen came up but there was no trackpad or keyboard support. Was able to use a bluetooth mouse and all apps opened but still unable to type anything or use the trackpad mouse. Also noted that there was no USB support for an external drive, or keyboard (or I would have tried to roll back to 10.6.7 with Time Machine.
Rebooted multiple times with the same outcome.
Spoke to Apple and they had no suggestions except to get warranty help. Well that's 50 miles away (service provider, not an Apple store). Any suggestions to save me two trips (there and back to deliver and pick it up)?

I have a early 2008 macbookpro 2.8 duel with silver keys.
I purchaed the 10.6 disk from the apple store. I've had the machine for years and purchased it refurbished from apple.
I did the erase and install and migrated everything over from external drive, then did update to 10.6.8 and the usb ports still would stop working after a few hours.. Then I read on another apple community forus to reset pram, and pull out the power cable, take out the battery and hold power key for 5 seconds, then restart. that seemed to fix usb issue so far..
But overall my computer seems to be running slower then when using just 10.5.8 and it did not wake from sleep once and I had to force power off and restart.. But maybe its just getting used to 10.6.8. we will see..
Also, on another note, my battery is totally dead, and I can only run computer with power cable.. Will this affect things? it never did with 10.5.8..
Oh, on my erase and install, I just did the simplest version and did not do the full erase to zero using he advanced security measures.. I just did the one where it writes on top of everything..

HAL mounts USB flash devices without support for non-latin characters

Hey folks!
How can I make HAL mount USB flash devices with support for German characters such as ä, ö, ü, ß, etc? At the moment there's only a silly question mark instead: http://www12.file-upload.net/20.08.08/3cpcpx.png .
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Henrik

I think it's a bug in KDE4, because no other window manager or desktop environment has such problems. I had it as well, when I used KDE4.0.* for testing and seems like this remained. Do you have a completely german KDE4? Check the system settings!
A thing comes to my mind, did you check it with konqueror? I guess this bug appears in dolphin, richtig? I schätz mal schon Try it with konqueror, if it doesn't appear there, it's a dolphin thing

USB 2.0 Support for K8N Neo2

Hi again, almost there, just a few small things to work out now. One of them is USB 2.0
I have 1.1 capability, I am running bios v1.5 and have installed the SMBus option from the Nforce 3 system drivers v5.10 yet I still don't have support for 2.0
In system hardware Device manager I get the 2 yellow questionmark next to the "USB-Controller" and one next to "Ethernet Controller", how do I resolve these driver issues??
Thx for any help

7025MOD4-1A3.zip works well for me. It is available here along with other bios that do not have the usb problems that come with official versions: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~chsmith/Syars_Bios_Collection/NEO2/
Note that it depends on the processor you have, and you did not tell us your system specs.
Don't use live update. Use winflash and check the right boxes.

Adobe AIR support for Windows RT and USB

We want to develop an cross platform application. We found that Adobe AIR supports cross platform development for Windows, iOS and Android.
We wanted to know wheather
1) reading and writing to USB port is possible with Adobe AIR?
2) Adobe AIR has support for Windows RT development?
Thanks in advance.

I wrote before about my concerns with Adobe AIR, but here is a short summary:
- no road map and no clear plans for the platform,
- support of new devices is often late, Intel chipsets are not supported on Android,
- debugging on a device is a pain,
- inadequate build times for iOS, app package is quite large,
- list of mobile UI components is very limited and UI experience is far from native,
- native extensions are a possibility but still far from perfect (imagine using three very different development platforms all in one app), no debugging,
- performance is not good if you use a lot of Spark components in your app,
- Flash Builder is pretty bad as the development environment,
- ActionScript3 is a poor, outdated language that encourages bad coding practices.
I ruled out HTML5 frameworks for the same reason as you stated above. Last few months I've been working with Xamarin MonoTouch and I think it is perfect for my projects. 100% native UI experience, about 80% of the code is shared among the platforms, iOS, MacOSX, Android and Windows 8/RT are supported. Took me about 2 months to convert my 2Mb ActionScript Adobe AIR project to Xamarin MonoTouch (iOS). The entire process was fun and painless. Now thinking to port to MacOSX and Android. My iOS app is already at the App Store, no major complains so far.
On a down side, Xamarin is expensive for an indie developer with low revenues. You need to pay $300 per year per each platform (iOS, Android, Mac). Plus, you need to develop UI layer separately for each platform, so only part of the code is shared. But I decided it is a way to go for my projects and it's been a very positive experience so far.
As for my professional development, Xamarin offers quite a bit more as well. I get to work with C#, .NET, iOS SDK, Android SDK all in one platform. With Adobe tools you only get to know ActionScript and Flex/Spark framework. Very rarely I see that as a desired qualification. It is like a trap. Your boss tells you to develop a few projects with Adobe tools, it sucks you in for a few years and suddenly you realize that your market value declined dramatically and there is no easy way out of this mess.

Support for 3/4G USB Modem

Have the new Airport Series added support for 3/4G USB Modem? Is it going to happen in the near feature if it hasn't happened as of yet?

Have the new Airport Series added support for 3/4G USB Modem?
No, the AirPorts require an Ethernet Internet connection.
Is it going to happen in the near feature
No one on a user-to-user forum would have any information about what a notoriously secretive company might do, or when they might do it.
My guess, which is worth about as much as you paid to view this web page, is that Apple has little to no interest in doing this.

Snes emulator for mountain lion with support for usb controller dongle

Hi,
I recently downloaded an snes emulator online and found that it does run the super nintendo game fine though it doesn't have support for the usb dongle for the controller. By any chance does anyone know a emular plug in or emulator for mountain lion that has this support for a usb joystick.

Thanks for the reply. Still curious if Apple did right by their customers as the support rep implied that they would. I can't confirm either because I discovered tonight that I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion yet until Mariner Software decides to make one of their products compatible with 10.8. Starting to think I need to find an alternative to their product.
