3 usbreset - Resets a USB device
7 usbreset device-filename
11 USB devices might need to be reset without being unplugged: this is what usbreset does.
13 B<device-filename> Path to the USB device, which is /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD where BBB is the bus number and DDD the device number.
17 Finding the bus and device numbers of a plugged USB device and resetting it:
21 Bus 001 Device 004: ID xxxx:xxxx Device description
23 $ usbreset /proc/bus/usb/001/004
24 Resetting USB device /proc/bus/usb/001/004
29 If the /proc/bus/usb directory is empty, you need to mount the usbfs in there:
31 $ mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
