Understanding,Filtering,sorting kernel and “real”data #110

Greetings I’m a very beginner with USB, embedded and I’m struggling to get my head around the protocol. When using wire shark with USB Mouse I think it gives me a lot more information that I need for my learning which Is a bit confusing. For example irp id, which I read are part of kernel. It’s usefull for learning about operating systems but I would prefer to hide this. Is there a way to do that. Or up to which point kernel data is printed and actual data starts? What should I look for? Thanks

I think I have covered all things beginners need during SharkFest'20 Virtual in the USB Analysis 101 presentation. The slides are available at the retrospective page and the recording is at YouTube.

Wow that's like the best tutorial on USB I have ever seen.

It helped me understand what some of knowledge I seen in books or USB specs was to do with PHY layer and some where in layers above. Now I can organise it in my head what information belongs where.

The OS metadata for drivers is no interest of me. So I will totally ignore the URB section of messages.

I enjoyed the recommendations for PHY layer debugging on the budget tool.
