USB

device/usb abstracts Universal Serial Bus concepts across multiple platforms.

Clients should use the public Mojo interface.

USB ID Repository

/third_party/usb_ids/usb.ids is imported regularly to provide human-readable descriptions of USB devices.

Ongoing Work transitioning away from libusb

UsbService is implemented by UsbServiceImpl based on third_party/libusb.

Work is ongoing to implement each platform directly, without using libusb.

• UsbServiceAndroid done.
• UsbServiceLinux done.
• macOS not started.
• UsbServiceWin in progress. Enable via chrome://flags/#new-usb-backend

Testing

Unit Tests

Standard use of *_unittest.cc files for must code coverage.

Fuzzers

libFuzzer tests are in *_fuzzer.cc files. They test for bad input from devices, e.g. when parsing device descriptors during device enumeration.

Gadget Tests

USB/HID API Testing with Gadgets describes a framework for testing the Chrome USB, HID and serial device APIs with real devices on generally accessible hardware.

Unit tests using the gadget can be run manually with a hardware “gadget”. These unit tests all call UsbTestGadget::Claim.
