This is a linux question, how do I figure out where a usb controller is in /dev?
I have tried doing ls /dev > before.txt ls /dev > after.txt diff before.txt after.txt
pluging the device in when I go to take the after text file. I still can not find the device. dmesg reports:
[50276.080032] usb 5-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd
[50276.298047] usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1430, idProduct=4748

but I dont know where that is. how can I find this device?
1Are you looking for a USB device or a USB (host) controller? USB controllers do not have nodes in /dev, just like network devices (e.g. eth0) do not. – sawdust – 2016-12-23T02:40:56.030
