Fixed. Combined with the previous minor comment change. I changed the name of the function name from ftdi_open_bus_port to ftdi_open_bus_addr.

 libusb_get_port_number is not always unique.

Gotcha. I didn't read the libusb docs before answering. I'll submit a patch in a sec.

No, the bus number and device number (device_address) match the currently-connected device uniquely, and the bus number + port_numbers match the port on which the device is connected (stable across reconnects). The bus number and port_number is unique only if you don't use any USB hubs (and there are none internal to your system). If there are hubs, then you need port_numbers

Oh, so the bus number and port number are not enough to uniquely identify a device?

Maxwell,

I think I found a discrepancy between our implementations that is going to be problematic. In yours, you use libusb_get_port_number, but I use libusb_get_device_address.

It looks like libusb_get_port_number returns the last digit of libusb_get_port_numbers, which is something like 1,3,1,1 so port_number is just 1. This allows conflicts since port_number isn't unique, despite what the documentation implies. The bus_number + device_address is the unique combination required.

On my Linux machines, device_address matches the sysfs node devnum (and bus_number is busnum), while port_number matches the path: /sys/bus/usb/devices/<bus_number>-<port_numbers>/{busnum,devnum}
I don't know how much this changes between systems, though, so I can't speak to whether this will be the case with your machines.

What do you think?

Hi Thomas,

All is fine. Just noticed a minor problem in the comments. Return code -12 was not mentioned in "ftdi_usb_open_desc_index" as well as the new "ftdi_usb_open_bus_port".

Maxwell.

Nice to know that this is actually useful! I had a similar situation in
my work.
patch has been applied, thanks!

The long code lines were mangled by our mail client,
I had to apply the patch manually.

Please double check everything is still correct in git.

Cheers,
Thomas
