Re: Using FTDI device ids from Linux kernel

Hi,

Do you have any idea how volatile this data is, how quickly it’s changing?
There are already some data sets which are picked up weekly from external sources (e.g., IEEE manuf, PEN). This could 
be handled the same way if as volatile as these.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hello,

The Linux kernel FTDI SIO driver contains quite a comprehensive USB
VID/PID database. The values are defined in
linux/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio_ids.h and are combined together in
id_table_combined in linux/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c. The protocol
these devices use is being dissected by FTDI FT dissector.

FTDI FT dissector has its own short list of VID/PID pairs. How could
we expand the list with the IDs from Linux kernel (I guess manually is
one option, but that just sounds bad)?

Best Regards,
Tomasz Moń
