Listing USB Devices

In the tools folder you'll find usb-list: a minimal cross-platform version of the lsusb tool. Run it (cargo run from tools/usb-list) to list all USB devices.

$ cargo run
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:e300
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:6713
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

The goal is to get the nRF52840 SoC to show in this list. The embedded application will use the vendor ID (VID) and product ID (PID) defined in advanced/common/consts; the usb-list tool will highlight the USB device that matches that VID PID pair.

$ # expected output
