# # USB Gadget support on a system involves # (a) a peripheral controller, and # (b) the gadget driver using it. # # for 2.5 kbuild, drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig # source this at the end of drivers/usb/Kconfig # menuconfig USB_GADGET tristate "Support for USB Gadgets" depends on EXPERIMENTAL help USB is a master/slave protocol, organized with one master host (such as a PC) controlling up to 127 peripheral devices. The USB hardware is asymmetric, which makes it easier to set up: you can't connect two "to-the-host" connectors to each other. Linux can run in the host, or in the peripheral. In both cases you need a low level bus controller driver, and some software talking to it. Peripheral controllers are often discrete silicon, or are integrated with the CPU in a microcontroller. The more familiar host side controllers have names like like "EHCI", "OHCI", or "UHCI", and are usually integrated into southbridges on PC motherboards. Enable this configuration option if you want to run Linux inside a USB peripheral device. Configure one hardware driver for your peripheral/device side bus controller, and a "gadget driver" for your peripheral protocol. (If you use modular gadget drivers, you may configure more than one.) If in doubt, say "N" and don't enable these drivers; most people don't have this kind of hardware (except maybe inside Linux PDAs). # # USB Peripheral Controller Support # choice prompt "USB Peripheral Controller Support" depends on USB_GADGET config USB_NET2280 tristate "NetChip 2280 USB Peripheral Controller" depends on PCI && USB_GADGET help NetChip 2280 is a PCI based USB peripheral controller which supports both full and high speed USB 2.0 data transfers. It has six configurable endpoints, as well as endpoint zero (for control transfers) and several endpoints with dedicated functions. Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "net2280" and force all gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked. endchoice # # USB Gadget Drivers # choice prompt "USB Gadget Drivers" depends on USB_GADGET default USB_ETH # FIXME want a cleaner dependency/config approach for drivers. config USB_ZERO tristate "Gadget Zero (DEVELOPMENT)" depends on USB_GADGET && (USB_DUMMY_HCD || USB_NET2280 || USB_PXA2XX || USB_SA1100) help Gadget Zero is a two-configuration device. It either sinks and sources bulk data; or it loops back a configurable number of transfers. It also implements control requests, for "chapter 9" conformance. The driver needs only two bulk-capable endpoints, so it can work on top of most device-side usb controllers. It's useful for testing, and is also a working example showing how USB "gadget drivers" can be written. Make this be the first driver you try using on top of any new USB peripheral controller driver. Then you can use host-side test software, like the "usbtest" driver, to put your hardware and its driver through a basic set of functional tests. Gadget Zero also works with the host-side "usb-skeleton" driver, and with many kinds of host-side test software. You may need to tweak product and vendor IDs before host software knows about this device, and arrange to select an appropriate configuration. Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "g_zero". config USB_ZERO_NET2280 bool # for now, treat the "dummy" hcd as if it were a net2280 depends on USB_ZERO && (USB_NET2280 || USB_DUMMY_HCD) default y config USB_ZERO_PXA2XX bool depends on USB_ZERO && USB_PXA2XX default y config USB_ZERO_SA1100 bool depends on USB_ZERO && USB_SA1100 default y config USB_ETH tristate "Ethernet Gadget" depends on USB_GADGET && NET && (USB_DUMMY_HCD || USB_NET2280 || USB_PXA2XX || USB_SA1100) help This driver implements Ethernet style communication, in either of two ways: - The "Communication Device Class" (CDC) Ethernet Control Model. That protocol is often avoided with pure Ethernet adapters, in favor of simpler vendor-specific hardware, but is widely supported by firmware for smart network devices. - On hardware can't implement that protocol, a simpler approach is used, placing fewer demands on USB. Within the USB device, this gadget driver exposes a network device "usbX", where X depends on what other networking devices you have. Treat it like a two-node Ethernet link: host, and gadget. The Linux-USB host-side "usbnet" driver interoperates with this driver, so that deep I/O queues can be supported. On 2.4 kernels, use "CDCEther" instead, if you're using the CDC option. That CDC mode should also interoperate with standard CDC Ethernet class drivers on other host operating systems. Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "g_ether". config USB_ETH_NET2280 bool # for now, treat the "dummy" hcd as if it were a net2280 depends on USB_ETH && (USB_NET2280 || USB_DUMMY_HCD) default y config USB_ETH_PXA2XX bool depends on USB_ETH && USB_PXA2XX default y config USB_ETH_SA1100 bool depends on USB_ETH && USB_SA1100 default y config USB_GADGETFS tristate "Gadget Filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on USB_GADGET && (USB_DUMMY_HCD || USB_NET2280 || USB_PXA2XX) && EXPERIMENTAL help This driver provides a filesystem based API that lets user mode programs implement a single-configuration USB device, including endpoint I/O and control requests that don't relate to enumeration. All endpoints, transfer speeds, and transfer types supported by the hardware are available, through read() and write() calls.
