Hi daggs,

yes, here are some snippets from lsusb -vv:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0b48:3017 TechnoTrend AG
  iManufacturer           1 CityCom GmbH
  iProduct                2 TechnoTrend USB2.0

I am using tvheadend on a buildroot-built linux distro (fli4l) which does 
not contain udev but uses BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_STATIC=y, for this 
distro I created personal packages adding the function I need. Therefore 
I do not use buildroot-provided init scripts but instead coded my own 
init script for tvheadend which suits my needs and works fine without an 
udev daemon. For Kodi I need libudev[1] support for detecting my CEC-USB 
adapter but again, no udev daemon needed.

My init scripts only contain one hardware-specific command relating to 
tvheadend:

modprobe dvb_usb_dvbsky

Everything else worked out-of-the box after configuring all the kernel 
modules needed for my USB device.

Regards, Bernd
