Nut upsuser - Jan 2008 - Tripp lite SMART1000LCD

Hi,

I was wondering if Tripp lite SMART1000LCD is working in nut or
what code I should change to get it to work. I saw some
older posts about this model and the OMNI1000 LCD but the model
I have has a different product ID, 2007 vs. 2005:

Device descriptor: VID:09ae, PID:2007
  Device release:0x10, USB release:0x110
  Descriptor Length:18, Type:1
  Device Class:0, Subclass:0, Protocol:0, Num Cfgs:1
  Max packet size for end point zero= 8

This model is supposed to be fully HID PD class compliant.
Should I use the usbhid-ups  or  tripplite_usb driver ?

HID descriptor:
  Descriptor Length:9, Type:33
  Hid Class spec release: 110
  Country Code: 0 (FYI 33 = US)
  Number of class descriptors: 1
  Class descriptor type: 34
  Total size of Report Descriptor: 2049

Don't know what I was doing wrong in reading the 
HID descriptor (using  another application)  but
I got the length 2049, which does not match the true
length of the report descriptor (601) I get when reading it.

Report descriptor:
x 5 x84 x 9 x 4 xa1 x 1 x 9 x24 xa1 x 2 x 5 x84 x85 x28 x 9 xfe x75 x 8
x95 x 1 x26 xff x 0 x15 x 0 xb1 x 3 x85 x29 x 9 xff xb1 x 3 x85 x2b x 9
......
x85 x17 x 9 x55 xb1 x82 xc0 xc0 xc0

Any help would be appreciated.

/Karl D

usbhid-ups

The code in the trunk looks like it should recognize both 0x2005 as
well as 0x2007 for the USB product ID. Which version of NUT are you
using?

There are two ways of getting the report descriptor: one is to fetch
it explicitly, and the other is to look for it embedded after the
interface descriptor. The code used by usbhid-ups (drivers/libusb.c)
checks both methods, and picks the one that looks most  likely. (You
can see this in the debug messages if you pass several "-D" flags on
the command line.)

Charles,

Thanks for your information.
I've just compiled the latest NUT version nut-2.2.1.
When I plug in the USB cable from the ups it looks like
the device does not get recognized at all in the system.
Shouldn't there be some log info in /var/syslog or dmesg
when a device is plugged in? There was nothing there.
I'm running Linux kernel,  2.6.17 (mandriva 2007)

# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.1
Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.32 (2.2.1)

No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

Am I missing some usb utility needed for hid devices to  work in Linux ?
My usb keyboard and mouse do work.

% rpm -qa | grep usb
libusb0.1_4-0.1.12-2mdv2007.0
libusb0.1_4-static-devel-0.1.12-2mdv2007.0
usbutils-0.72-1mdk
libusb0.1_4-devel-0.1.12-2mdv2007.0

% lsusb

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0430:0100 Sun Microsystems, Inc. 3-button Mouse

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

ups.conf
-----------
[SMART1000LCD]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "Tripp Lite SMART1000LCD USB"

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
