This Template links to the USB ID Repository. Its usb.ids file is used by lsusb to display the vendor and device names for the corresponding numeric IDs of the USB device.

Usage

Both the four-digit vendor ID and the four-digit product (or device or item) ID must be specified.

{{USBID|vendor ID|product ID}}

Parameters 1= and 2= are optional, but possible:

{{USBID|1=vendor ID|2=product ID}}

Examples

Use lsusb to find the USB device in question:

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 8086:0044 Intel Corp. CPU DRAM Controller

For this USB device, vendor 8086 being Intel Corp. and product 0044 being the processors' DRAM Controller, the following wiki source text will link to the corresponding USB ID Repository webpage:

{{USBID|8086|0044}}

The output on the displayed ThinkWiki page will be the same as the vendor:product output from lsusb:

8086:0044
