A remote diagnostic tool for USB kernel resources in the embedded Linux systems

Writing device drivers is known as very difficult developing process. In particular, writing low-level code for accessing devices and manipulating their kernel resources is tedious and error-prone. But, ever since the first device drivers have been written, their development process has made little progress. In this paper, we present a remote diagnostic tool for USB device kernel resources. This tool provides a method that device driver developers access devices and manipulating their kernel resources directly without writing any code for kernel programming. The presented tool in this paper, therefore, reduces the burden in developing USB device drivers and improves their productivity.
