[Nut-upsuser] No USB/HID UPS found

[Vladimir Botka]

Hi Peter,

***
libusb is installed and cached:

root.srv# ldconfig -r | grep libusb
         54:-lusbhid.1 => /usr/lib/libusbhid.so.1
         138:-lusb-0.1.8 => /usr/local/lib/libusb-0.1.so.8
         139:-lusbpp-0.1.8 => /usr/local/lib/libusbpp-0.1.so.8

***
I think FreeBSD equivalent of lsusb is usbdevs:

root.srv# usbdevs -d -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), 
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
   uhub0
  port 1 powered
  port 2 addr 2: low speed, self powered, config 1, Back-UPS CS 500 
FW:808.q5.I USB FW:q5(0x0002), American Power Conversion(0x051d), rev 0.06
    uhid0
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), 
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
   uhub1
  port 1 powered
  port 2 powered
Controller /dev/usb2:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), 
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
   uhub2
  port 1 powered
  port 2 powered
Controller /dev/usb3:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), 
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
   uhub3
  port 1 powered
  port 2 powered

***
the driver is attached:

root.srv# ll /dev/ | grep uhid
crw-rw----  1 root   nutmon    241,   0 Apr 25 15:47 uhid0

but reports only changes:

root.srv# usbhidctl -f /dev/uhid0 -v -a
usbhidctl: device does not support immediate mode, only changes reported.

Thank you for your help. -vlado
