How to debug a USB device stack ?

I am designed a IoT prototype with USB device CDC class, Linux (OpenWRT/Raspberry Pi) and VHLL(Python/Lua). Since USB‘s nature, USB CDC/ACM/ECM models are selected as standard interfaces to connectivities, rather than native SPI/I2C/UART on Cortex-A/MIPS SoC.

Currently I am using STM32F103C8/RB and STM32F070/072C8 as perferred micros, but I find USB stacks running on these micros have something wrong in Linux, including Ubunt/Raspbian/OpenWRT and other disto. The stacks comes from STM's HAL, Keil's USB stack, and other sources.

My test code:

But STM32F103C8 in STLINK/V2 and MicroPython in STM32F40X, these CDC firmware works well in Linux, as well as NXP's LPC54114 device driver ROM API.

STM32F103C8/RB with USB CDC stack works well in Windows, from XP to 10. But in Linux, they can be enumerated as /dev/ttyACM0, but no proper characters are printed out, I tried shell programming, Python and Lua. And finally I have tried usbmon tool in Ubuntu. I can narrow down the issue, the USB micro has NO output at all. Here is my usbmon logging.

In above logging, every bulk in is failed, bulk out is fine in LInux, I haven't check its output buffer in micro.
