tester for HID devices

Question

I have built my own USB HID device. I want to check, if it is working correctly.

I want to check the descriptors sent by the device, display input reports and send output reports. What tools are capable of this task and runs on Windows 7 64 bit?

Solution 1

On a day-to-day basis I use USBlyzer. It works well on Windows 7 64-bit.

As far as free tools go, the Windows DDK includes (in C:\winddk\7600.16385.1\tools\avstream\amd64) a tool called UVCview.exe ("USB device viewer") that shows at least some descriptor information.

You might also try Wireshark, but I admit, I only use it for network and can't speak to the quality of its USB capture.

Solution 2

(even though it's an old post) - here is a convenient and free solution:

Our Docklight Scripting software can test custom USB HID devices in the free (evaluation) download already, no time limit. Tested both on Windows 7 and Windows 10. You can access your device via the chosen VID and PID, display input report data and send output reports, even with variable output report ids.

Wireshark works with USB on Linux, but no chance for capture on Windows.

wireshark now has support for USB analysis on windows. pcap is included in install.
