Research: Code Snippets using ioctl()

Trying to reproduce IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH with Linux.

Code example #1:

#define DEF_TIMEOUT 5000 // 5 seconds
char cDiskName[] = "/dev/sg3";
int fd = open(cDiskName, O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0)
{
  printf("Open error: %s, errno=%d (%s)\n", cDiskName, errno, strerror(errno));
  return 1;
}

unsigned char turCmbBlk[] = {0x00, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
struct sg_io_hdr io_hdr;

unsigned char cIOBuffer[100];

// buffer initialization code omitted

memset(&io_hdr, 0, sizeof(struct sg_io_hdr));
io_hdr.interface_id = 'S';
io_hdr.cmd_len = sizeof(turCmbBlk);
io_hdr.mx_sb_len = sizeof(cIOBuffer);
io_hdr.dxfer_direction = SG_DXFER_NONE;
io_hdr.cmdp = turCmbBlk;
io_hdr.sbp = cIOBuffer;
io_hdr.timeout = DEF_TIMEOUT;
if (ioctl(fd, SG_IO, &io_hdr) < 0)
{
  printf("ioctl error: errno=%d (%s)\n", errno, strerror(errno));
}

// Code returned here without any errors but cIOBuffer remains unchanged.

#define BUFF_SIZE 100 // - Buffersize

#define DEF_TIMEOUT 5000 // 5 seconds
char cDiskName[] = "/dev/sg3";
int fd = open(cDiskName, O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0)
{
  printf("Open error: %s, errno=%d (%s)\n", cDiskName, errno, strerror(errno));
  return 1;
}

unsigned char turCmbBlk[] = {0x00, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
struct sg_io_hdr *p = (struct sg_io_hdr *) malloc(sizeof(struct sg_io_hdr)); // - dynamic memory allocation - free() required somewhere

unsigned char cIOBuffer[BUFF_SIZE];
unsigned char replyBuffer[BUFF_SIZE]; // - dxfer buffer

// buffer initialization code omitted

memset(p, 0, sizeof(struct sg_io_hdr));
p->interface_id = 'S';
p->cmd_len = sizeof(turCmbBlk);
p->mx_sb_len = BUFF_SIZE;
p->dxfer_direction = SG_DXFER_NONE;
p->cmdp = turCmbBlk;
p->sbp = cIOBuffer;
p->timeout = DEF_TIMEOUT;
p->flags = SG_FLAG_DIRECT_IO; // - Does this help?
p->dxferp = replyBuffer; // - Set dxferp buffer - (A)
p->dxfer_len = BUFF_SIZE; // - buffersize

if (ioctl(fd, SG_IO, p) < 0)
{
  printf("ioctl error: errno=%d (%s)\n", errno, strerror(errno));
}

// Code returned here without any errors but cIOBuffer remains unchanged.

Use for scsi/sg.h and ioctl.

Research: USB data transfer

Is it possible to just write to the usb interface instead?

USBPcap: Linux Host and Windows Guest

Identify the bus where the camera is connected to:

Bus 005 Device 017: ID 4255:1000 GoPro 9FF2 [Digital Photo Display]

Load usbmon to capture usb traffic with Wireshark:

modprobe usbmon

With Wireshark the usbmon<busid> (e.g. usbmon5) is selected as packet capture source.

After filtering the following filter rule will only display relevant packets:

(usb.device_address == 17 ) && (scsi.spc.opcode == 0xfd || scsi.spc.opcode == 0xfe || scsi.spc.opcode == 0xff)

Vendor specific commands:

• 0xfd: set AP ssid
• 0xfe: set AP passphrase
• 0xff: syncronize time

Example packets:

0xfd:

0000   fd 00 58 37 41 50 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ..X7APP.........

0xfe:

0000   fe 00 58 37 41 50 50 41 53 53 00 00 00 00 00 00   ..X7APPASS......

Synchrize time 0xff:

0000   ff 00 07 e5 08 0a 0b 24 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   .......$........

# 3 seconds later:
