36
37Function-specific configfs interface
38------------------------------------
39
40The function name to use when creating the function directory is "acm".
41The ACM function provides just one attribute in its function directory:
42
43	port_num
44
45The attribute is read-only.
46
47There can be at most 4 ACM/generic serial/OBEX ports in the system.

92and after creating the functions/ecm.<instance name> they contain default
93values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
94The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
95interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
96next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".
97
98Testing the ECM function
99------------------------
100
101Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:

198
199The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ffs".
200The function directory is intentionally empty and not modifiable.
201
202After creating the directory there is a new instance (a "device") of FunctionFS
203available in the system. Once a "device" is available, the user should follow
204the standard procedure for using FunctionFS (mount it, run the userspace
205process which implements the function proper). The gadget should be enabled
206by writing a suitable string to usb_gadget/<gadget>/UDC.
207

232	=============== ===========================================
233
234For a keyboard the protocol and the subclass are 1, the report_length is 8,
235while the report_desc is::
236
237  $ hd my_report_desc
238  00000000  05 01 09 06 a1 01 05 07  19 e0 29 e7 15 00 25 01  |..........)...%.|

253- create the gadget
254- connect the gadget to a host, preferably not the one used
255  to control the gadget
256- run a program which writes to /dev/hidg<N>, e.g.
257  a userspace program found in Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.rst::
258
259	$ ./hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard
260
261Host:
262
263- observe the keystrokes from the gadget
264

309and a default lun.0 directory corresponding to SCSI LUN #0.
310
311A new lun can be added with mkdir::
312
313	$ mkdir functions/mass_storage.0/partition.5
314
315Lun numbering does not have to be continuous, except for lun #0 which is
316created by default. A maximum of 8 luns can be specified and they all must be
317named following the <name>.<number> scheme. The numbers can be 0..8.
318Probably a good convention is to name the luns "lun.<number>",
319although it is not mandatory.
320
321In each lun directory there are the following attribute files:
322
323	=============== ==============================================
324	file		The path to the backing file for the LUN.
325			Required if LUN is not marked as removable.
326	ro		Flag specifying access to the LUN shall be
327			read-only. This is implied if CD-ROM emulation
328			is enabled as well as when it was impossible
329			to open "filename" in R/W mode.
330	removable	Flag specifying that LUN shall be indicated as
331			being removable.
332	cdrom		Flag specifying that LUN shall be reported as
333			being a CD-ROM.

364
365Testing the MIDI function
366-------------------------
367
368There are two cases: playing a mid from the gadget to
369the host and playing a mid from the host to the gadget.
370
3711) Playing a mid from the gadget to the host:
372
373host::
374
375  $ arecordmidi -l
376   Port    Client name                      Port name
377   14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
378   24:0    MIDI Gadget                      MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
379  $ arecordmidi -p 24:0 from_gadget.mid
380
381gadget::
382
383  $ aplaymidi -l
384   Port    Client name                      Port name
385   20:0    f_midi                           f_midi
386
387  $ aplaymidi -p 20:0 to_host.mid
388
3892) Playing a mid from the host to the gadget
390
391gadget::
392
393  $ arecordmidi -l
394   Port    Client name                      Port name
395   20:0    f_midi                           f_midi
396
397  $ arecordmidi -p 20:0 from_host.mid
398
399host::
400
401  $ aplaymidi -l
402   Port    Client name                      Port name
403   14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
404   24:0    MIDI Gadget                      MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
405
406  $ aplaymidi -p24:0 to_gadget.mid
407
408The from_gadget.mid should sound identical to the to_host.mid.
409
410The from_host.id should sound identical to the to_gadget.mid.
411
412MIDI files can be played to speakers/headphones with e.g. timidity installed::
413
414  $ aplaymidi -l
415   Port    Client name                      Port name
416   14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
417   24:0    MIDI Gadget                      MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
418  128:0    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 0
419  128:1    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 1
420  128:2    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 2
421  128:3    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 3
422
423  $ aplaymidi -p 128:0 file.mid
424
425MIDI ports can be logically connected using the aconnect utility, e.g.::
426
427  $ aconnect 24:0 128:0 # try it on the host
428
429After the gadget's MIDI port is connected to timidity's MIDI port,
430whatever is played at the gadget side with aplaymidi -l is audible
431in host's speakers/headphones.
432

452	=============== ==================================================
453
454and after creating the functions/ncm.<instance name> they contain default
455values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
456The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
457interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
458next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".
459
460Testing the NCM function
461------------------------
462
463Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:
464
465On the device::
466
467	ping <host's IP>
468
469On the host::

495	seriald -f /dev/ttyGS<Y> -s 1024
496
497On host::
498
499	serialc -v <vendorID> -p <productID> -i<interface#> -a1 -s1024 \
500                -t<out endpoint addr> -r<in endpoint addr>
501
502where seriald and serialc are Felipe's utilities found here:
503

519			function instance
520	=============== ==================================================
521
522Testing the PHONET function
523---------------------------
524
525It is not possible to test the SOCK_STREAM protocol without a specific piece
526of hardware, so only SOCK_DGRAM has been tested. For the latter to work,
527in the past I had to apply the patch mentioned here:
528
529http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85689.html
530
531These tools are required:
532
533git://git.gitorious.org/meego-cellular/phonet-utils.git
534
535On the host::
536
537	$ ./phonet -a 0x10 -i usbpn0
538	$ ./pnroute add 0x6c usbpn0
539	$./pnroute add 0x10 usbpn0
540	$ ifconfig usbpn0 up
541
542On the device::
543
544	$ ./phonet -a 0x6c -i upnlink0
545	$ ./pnroute add 0x10 upnlink0
546	$ ifconfig upnlink0 up
547
548Then a test program can be used::
549
550	http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85690.html
551
552On the device::
553
554	$ ./pnxmit -a 0x6c -r
555
556On the host::
557
558	$ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -s 0x6c
559
560As a result some data should be sent from host to device.
561Then the other way round:
562
563On the host::
564
565	$ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -r
566
567On the device::
568
569	$ ./pnxmit -a 0x6c -s 0x10
570

590	=============== ==================================================
591
592and after creating the functions/rndis.<instance name> they contain default
593values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
594The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
595interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
596next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".
597
598Testing the RNDIS function
599--------------------------
