libusb bulk transfer - bulk

I am trying to implement user space usb driver using libusb1.0.9. I have lpc2148 blueboard(ARM7) with me..This board is loaded with opensource USB stack/firmware by Mr. Bertrik Sikken. Now my user space driver is trying read write with board. I am getting garbage data.
I want to know about the flow of bulk tranfer.
For any transfer/transaction is there kernel device driver involved??
and do we need usb gadget device driver also??
I am not able to understand that where the data gets copied.
Important thing is that when I read/write interrupt gets generated and I can see correct data on LCD. Do I need to read/write USBRxData/USBTxData?
Please do the needfull.
I tried the below code for bulk transfer read and write..
int usb_read(struct libusb_device *dev,struct libusb_device_handle *hDevice)
{
char *data,*data1;
struct libusb_endpoint_descriptor *ep;
struct libusb_interface_descriptor *id;
int len=64,r,ret_alt,ret_clm,ret_rst,i;
struct libusb_device **list;
data = (char *)malloc(512); //allocation of buffers
data1 = (char *)malloc(512);
memset(data,'\0',512);
memset(data1,'\0',512);
if(hDevice==NULL)
{
printf("\nNO device found\n");
return 0;
}
int ret_open = libusb_open(dev,&hDevice);
if(ret_open!=0)
{
printf("Error in libusb_open\n");
libusb_free_device_list(list,1);
return -1;
}
char str_tx[512]="G"; //data to send to device
char str_rx[512]; //receive string
data = str_tx;
printf("data::%s\t,str::%s\n",data,str_tx);
//printf("%c\n",data);
ep = active_config(dev,hDevice);
printf("after ep\n");
//printf("alt_interface = %d\n",alt_interface);
ret_rst = libusb_reset_device(hDevice);
if(ret_rst < 0)
{
printf("Error in reset :: %d",ret_rst);
return -1;
}
printf("original data1 : %s\n",data1);
r = libusb_bulk_transfer(hDevice,0x08,str_tx,512,&len,0);
//write to device buffer from data
printf("Error number :: %d\n",r);
int le = ep->bEndpointAddress;
int ty = ep->bDescriptorType;
int y = ep->bmAttributes;
printf("y::%d\tatt:: %d\n",y,ep->bmAttributes);
if(r==-1)
printf("Error in io\n");
if(r==0)
{
printf("data returned :: %s\n",data);
printf("len= %d\n",len);
printf("Device Button Pressed!!!!\n");
}
else
{
printf("Error in bulk transfer\n");
return -1;
}
r = libusb_bulk_transfer(hDevice,0x82,data1,512,&len,0);
//read from device buffer to data1
//str_rx = data1;

}
return 0;

Try the code given below and it should work on lpc2148.
I have tested this with a lpc2148 configured to receive an interrupt from USB after a write happens (from user-space) and RTC starts running.
Answering to your question whether it involves kernel driver in read/write or not, as far as I have studied, You have to detach the kernel driver and claim the interface using libusb APIs. Though I am not sure whether it can be done without detaching it or not.

Linux kernel networking

I have aquestion about linux kernel networking.
Assume that I need to send data from kernel to client in user space. In user space I open socket in non blocking mode via issuing connect() function. Then in kernel mode I send data to connected client. Only once. The dmesg command shows me this. But in user mode it starts receiving the data eternally! Once packet received the next packet is the same one! The packet is split into 2 parts. First part is responsible for full message size. What am I doing wrong?
Here is code snippets for driver code:

PSET5 (Speller) Valgrind Error: Valgrind tests failed

I failed to pass the Valgrind tests and couldn't figure out what went wrong with my code. It seems like the issue is in the load() function as the Valgrind tests pointed out at the malloc() line. Could anyone help me take a look? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Here is what the Valgrind tests show:

c.99 is this line -> node *n = malloc(sizeof(node));
The problem is in unload. It doesn't free any nodes. Review this line carefully and critically, it contains the error.

Why is the Write system call in not writing anything to the sockets file?

I am writing a simple Server Client program that exchanges the data. After I write to the socket file, the write doesn't fail or it is not even partial write. but when I check the details of the socket file using ls -l , I still see it's size as zero and server doesn't recieve anything. Can anyone help me out with what I am doing wrong in here??

You are trying to read from the server socket (socket_fd). Instead you need to read from the new socket returned by accept, i.e. what you call result in result = accept.... To cite from man accept:
On success, these system calls return a nonnegative integer that is a
file descriptor for the accepted socket. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately.

Can't read received packet when the data section starts with 2

so... context: I'm doing a layer 2 protocol for flexible forwarding in vehicular environment (for now my testbed is in virtual machines), this should take in consideration a different number of interfaces (for multihoming) and multihop.
So what I have:
A way of broadcasting hop-by-hop the service provider.
What I'm triyng to do:
A way to register a session all the way from the client to the provider (And here is the problem)
Problem: I have two types of packets
1st is listened correctly and data payload starts with a 1
2nd for some reason is not detected but I can see the packet is sent and correct with tcpdump
Since I have to register in the application the interface where the connection is made I used select() which seems to be part of the problem since I only guessed how it was used and I'm kind of in the dark about this.
UPDATED v3:
Okay so as soon as I removed most of the stuff about only sending on a specific interface all the stuff worked perfectly (I still need to clean this code... it's kind of messy). Here is code if someone is interested:

So to test this you can have VM with linux connected like this (for example):
Provider ----- Node ----- Node ----- Nodekey
I still had a problem when creating multiple sessions, i wasn't incrementing the buffer when reading and I was reading multiple times the same position. Now it's working good
OK, let's begin with the easiest recommendations but I'm not sure this is going to resolve the problem at once. I did a system like this many years ago for different boards with different processor architectures communicating with each other. All the boards were running within a telecommunication switch. It's a very nice problem and you are facing it in the proper way with a peer-to-peer distributed solution.
I didn't go through all code but it seems each node is discovering the neighbour nodes in the network and everyone is creating a tree.
In select, the first argument should not be FD_SETSIZE but the highest-numbered file descriptor in any of the three sets (in this case the read set), plus 1.
The infinite loop is calling receiveSession which is creating all sockets again and then it reads. If a frame with your specific layer-2 protocol arrives in the middle and there is no socket listening for it, it will be discarded. Maybe your problem could be here.
When you send Ethernet frames directly, the hardware will complete the frame to the minimum Ethernet size: 64 octets (so you might receive padding data up to 46 octets - Octets not Bytes)
Please read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_frame
It is good you chose an EtherType ETH_P_CUSTOM higher than 1536 that is not already in use but maybe you want to use a much higher number in order to minimize possibilities of collision with other protocols.
Something important. Your testbed now is with VM's which are usually x86 architectures, 64 bits. When you run your software in real devices with different processors, that might not be the situation. This is very important because you might have different architectures with different endianship and different integer size. That will affect the integer numbers you send, especially in ether_header, and the size of your structures. You have to use the the macros ntohs, ntohl, htons, htonl to change between host and network endianship (session is uint64_t). You should send data in network endianship. This is not solving your very current problem but you might have this problem in the future.

libusb_bulk_transfer() read hangs after first successful libusb_bulk_transfer() write on USB mass storage device

I am trying to perform write/read libusb_bulk_transfer() on my USB mass storage device. But after the first successful libusb_bulk_transfer() write, my program just hangs and does not perform a libusb_bulk_transfer() read. I observe that my USB device gets detached. Why am I not able to perform a read?
Following is a snippet of my code:
e = libusb_get_configuration(handle, &config2);
if (e!=0)
{
printf("\n***Error in libusb_get_configuration\n");
libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1);
libusb_close(handle);
return -1;
}
printf("\nConfigured value : %d", config2);
if (config2 != 1)
{
libusb_set_configuration(handle, 1);
if (e!=0)
{
printf("Error in libusb_set_configuration\n");
libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1);
libusb_close(handle);
return -1;
}
else
printf("\nDevice is in configured state!");
}
if (libusb_kernel_driver_active(handle, 0) == 1)
{
printf("\nKernel Driver Active");
if (libusb_detach_kernel_driver(handle, 0) == 0)
printf("\nKernel Driver Detached!");
else
{
printf("\nCouldn't detach kernel driver!\n");
libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1);
libusb_close(handle);
return -1;
}
}
e = libusb_claim_interface(handle, 0);
if (e < 0)
{
printf("\nCannot Claim Interface");
libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1);
libusb_close(handle);
return -1;
}
else
printf("\nClaimed Interface\n");
char *Report_to_write, *Report_to_read;
int transferred = 0;
int received = 0;
int nbytes = 8; // As protocol suggested it should be 8 bytes
Report_to_write = (char *)malloc(nbytes);
Report_to_read = (char *)malloc(nbytes);
Report_to_write[0] = 0x01; // cmd
Report_to_write[1] = Report_to_write[2] = Report_to_write[3] = 15; // HOUR
Report_to_write[4] = Report_to_write[5] = Report_to_write[6] = 30; // MIN
Report_to_write[7] = 255; // some checksum
memset(Report_to_read, '\0', 8);
e = libusb_bulk_transfer(handle, BULK_EP_OUT, Report_to_write, 8, &transferred, 0);
if (e == 0 && transferred == 8)
{
printf("\nWrite successful!");
printf("\nSent %d bytes with string: %s\n", transferred, Report_to_write);
}
else
printf("\nError in write! e = %d and transferred = %d\n", e, transferred);
e = libusb_bulk_transfer(handle, BULK_EP_IN, Report_to_read, 8, &received, 0); //64: Max Packet Length
if (e == 0)
{
printf("\nReceived: ");
printf("%c", Report_to_read[1]); //Will read a string
//sleep(1);
}
else
{
printf("\nError in read! e = %d and received = %d\n", e, received);
return -1;
}
e = libusb_release_interface(handle, 0);
libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1);
libusb_close(handle);
libusb_exit(NULL);
Naming and strings look very similar to the code in Stack Overflow question Read/write on a pen drive using libusb: libusb_bulk_transfer() (written by me).
Observing your code, I can only predict that you are not using the right end point addresses.
