Getting information of USB connected device

Post by onzinstuiver »

Hello!
I'm using a raspberry pi pico and I'm wondering if it is possible to get information on a device that is connected to the pico via USB. Such as getting the operating system and the name of the device.

Question answered in discord by neradoc:
no, not without the OS volunteering such information for example using the serial connection
(meaning software you wrote running on it)
