USB Device Test (usbtest)
|
usbtest Description
The usbtest verifies the proper functioning of the hardware of the USB subsystem. The test supports audio, keyboard, and printer devices. The usbtest for audio verifies the proper functioning of the hardware and software components of the USB audio subsystem. Specifically, the test tests the USB audio devices, USB microphones and speakers.
|
Note - usbtest tests the USB ports using various USB devices such as the USB key board, the USB printer, or the USB audio devices.
|
For keyboards, the test verifies whether the keyboard(s) attached to the USB bus are USB-compliant. The test flashes the LEDs of a compliant keyboard. The usbtest for printers verifies the proper functioning and integrity of the USB parallel port devices. The test data, either ASCII or a PostScript file, is sent to the printer through the USB bulk transfer. The test saves and restores the printer settings.
The usbtest options and subtest available depends on the peripheral device attached to the USB port.
usbtest Subtests
The following table lists the usbtest subtests for both the USB audio and printer devices.
TABLE 21-1 usbtest Subtests
