Subject: [linux-usb-devel] driver for HP 5300C scanjet scanner

From: <A HREF="mailto:jhall@uu.net?Subject=Re:%20Fwd:%20[linux-usb-devel]%20driver%20for%20HP%205300C%20scanjet%20scanner&In-Reply-To=&lt;00101215072300.04338@ghanima&gt;">jhall@uu.net</A> (Jeremy Hall)
<BR>
<P><P><P>Hello,
<BR>
<P>In the recent week, I've been working on the microtek driver to rewrite it
<BR>
to support the HP Scanjet 5300. Rumours have it this driver will also
<BR>
work for the HP 3100 and a minulta scanner. The HP has two bulk endpoints
<BR>
and one interrupt endpoint. You send a command out the out endpoint, if
<BR>
data is needing to be transferred, it transfers that, reads the results of
<BR>
the command from the image endpoint, and a status byte is sent to the
<BR>
interrupt endpoint when a sequence is finished.
<BR>
<P>known issues with this driver:
<BR>
<P>We can miss a status interrupt somehow and therefore hang the driver,
<BR>
making it impossible to recover without rebooting the computer. A
<BR>
scheduler should be envoked to work around this.
<BR>
<P>If ctrl-c is pressed while sane is scanning an image, the driver doesn't
<BR>
properly deal with this. There is probably some minor thig I am missing.
<BR>
<P>When scanning a LARGE document, like a 24bit colour image, the driver may
<BR>
hang at the end of the transfer.
<BR>
<P>the driver for some reason has difficulty unloading, in fact it isn't
<BR>
possible to unload the driver without a system hang. It seems to be
<BR>
somewhere in when the driver tries to abort the command urb.
<BR>
<P>notes:
<BR>
<P>Use Sane's avision driver and edit the source to recognize the HP
<BR>
5300. Currently, it won't recognize it because the vendor string doesn't
<BR>
include the word avision. Use the SCSI sg driver to talk to the scanner.
<BR>
<P>Since both the command handler and status handler can update the srb, race
<BR>
conditions can be seen. Efforts have been made to minimize this, however.
<BR>
<P>This is my first kernel anything, and although not all the work is
<BR>
original, my thought processes are not yet accustomed to kernel
<BR>
thinking...but I'm getting there.
<BR>
<P>* * * W A R N I N G * * *
<BR>
<P>It is STRONGLY recommended to mount your filesystems in read-only mode
<BR>
before experimenting with the driver. Since the sysrq refuses to work
<BR>
despite playing with the keycodes junk, I must remount my filesystems ro
<BR>
to avoid data loss. I have found that
<BR>
<P>cat /proc/kmsg|nc -l -p &lt;portnum&gt;
<BR>
<P>is most helpful in retrieving data concerning a freeze. (kill klogd) You
<BR>
may find this information elementary, if so, please just disregard it.
<BR>
<P>The driver is attached. reports welcome.
