Correct, document is being maintained by USB IF and is publicly available. However, I just noticed a typo, correct version is 1.0a. Will correct. In short, MA USB Specification defines an MA USB protocol that performs USB communication via any communication medium. As such, it defines how to pack USB data within MA USB payload, and how to communicate with remote MA USB d= evice. >=20 >> >> This driver depends on the functions provided by DisplayLink's >> user-space driver. >=20 > Where can that userspace code be found? >=20 > thanks, >=20 > greg k-h >=20 Userspace code is not publicly available. However, in short, it's purpose i= s twofold, to provide interface to application layer, and to prepare MA USB p= ackets that will be used by remote device. Related to userspace related questions (i.e. comments around two devices us= ed), we can provide detailed description of the used IPC. In that sense, please = state the most appropriate way/place to state/publish such description (i.e. is i= t ok to add it within the cover letter, or publicly available URL is preferred).= =20 --=20 Regards, Vladimir.
