# # USB Gadget support on a system involves # (a) a peripheral controller, and # (b) the gadget driver using it. # # NOTE: Gadget support ** DOES NOT ** depend on host-side CONFIG_USB !! # # - Host systems (like PCs) need CONFIG_USB (with "A" jacks). # - Peripherals (like PDAs) need CONFIG_USB_GADGET (with "B" jacks). # - Some systems have both kinds of of controller. # # With help from a special transceiver and a "Mini-AB" jack, systems with # both kinds of controller can also support "USB On-the-Go" (CONFIG_USB_OTG). # menu "USB Gadget Support" config USB_GADGET tristate "Support for USB Gadgets" 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 a "to-the-host" connector to a peripheral. 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" depends on USB_GADGET help A USB device uses a controller to talk to its host. Systems should have only one such upstream link. config USB_GADGET_NET2280 boolean "NetChip 2280" depends on PCI select USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED 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. config USB_NET2280 tristate depends on USB_GADGET_NET2280 default USB_GADGET config USB_GADGET_PXA2XX boolean "PXA 2xx or IXP 4xx" depends on ARCH_PXA || ARCH_IXP4XX help Intel's PXA 2xx series XScale ARM-5TE processors include an integrated full speed USB 1.1 device controller. The controller in the IXP 4xx series is register-compatible. It has fifteen fixed-function endpoints, as well as endpoint zero (for control transfers). Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "pxa2xx_udc" and force all gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked. config USB_PXA2XX tristate depends on USB_GADGET_PXA2XX default USB_GADGET # if there's only one gadget driver, using only two bulk endpoints, # don't waste memory for the other endpoints config USB_PXA2XX_SMALL depends on USB_GADGET_PXA2XX bool default n if USB_ETH_RNDIS default y if USB_ZERO default y if USB_ETH default y if USB_G_SERIAL config USB_GADGET_GOKU boolean "Toshiba TC86C001 'Goku-S'" depends on PCI help The Toshiba TC86C001 is a PCI device which includes controllers for full speed USB devices, IDE, I2C, SIO, plus a USB host (OHCI). The device controller has three configurable (bulk or interrupt) endpoints, plus endpoint zero (for control transfers). Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "goku_udc" and to force all gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked. config USB_GOKU tristate depends on USB_GADGET_GOKU default USB_GADGET # this could be built elsewhere (doesn't yet exist) config USB_GADGET_SA1100 boolean "SA 1100" depends on ARCH_SA1100 help Intel's SA-1100 is an ARM-4 processor with an integrated full speed USB 1.1 device controller. It has two fixed-function endpoints, as well as endpoint zero (for control transfers). config USB_SA1100 tristate depends on USB_GADGET_SA1100 default USB_GADGET config USB_GADGET_DUMMY_HCD boolean "Dummy HCD (DEVELOPMENT)" depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL select USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED help This host controller driver emulates USB, looping all data transfer requests back to a USB "gadget driver" in the same host. The host side is the master; the gadget side is the slave. Gadget drivers can be high, full, or low speed; and they have access to endpoints like those from NET2280, PXA2xx, or SA1100 hardware. This may help in some stages of creating a driver to embed in a Linux device, since it lets you debug several parts of the gadget driver without its hardware or drivers being involved. Since such a gadget side driver needs to interoperate with a host side Linux-USB device driver, this may help to debug both sides of a USB protocol stack. Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "dummy_hcd" and force all gadget drivers to also be dynamically linked. config USB_DUMMY_HCD tristate depends on USB_GADGET_DUMMY_HCD default USB_GADGET endchoice config USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED bool depends on USB_GADGET default n help Means that gadget drivers should include extra descriptors and code to handle dual-speed controllers. # # USB Gadget Drivers # choice tristate "USB Gadget Drivers" depends on USB_GADGET default USB_ETH # this first set of drivers all depend on bulk-capable hardware. config USB_ZERO tristate "Gadget Zero (DEVELOPMENT)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL 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_HNPTEST boolean "HNP Test Device" depends on USB_ZERO && USB_OTG help You can configure this device to enumerate using the device identifiers of the USB-OTG test device. That means that when this gadget connects to another OTG device, with this one using the "B-Peripheral" role, that device will use HNP to let this one serve as the USB host instead (in the "B-Host" role). config USB_ETH tristate "Ethernet Gadget" depends on NET 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 simple CDC subset is used, placing fewer demands on USB. RNDIS support is a third option, more demanding than that subset. 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_RNDIS bool "RNDIS support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on USB_ETH && EXPERIMENTAL default y help Microsoft Windows XP bundles the "Remote NDIS" (RNDIS) protocol, and Microsoft provides redistributable binary RNDIS drivers for older versions of Windows. If you say "y" here, the Ethernet gadget driver will try to provide a second device configuration, supporting RNDIS to talk to such Microsoft USB hosts. config USB_GADGETFS tristate "Gadget Filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on 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. Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "gadgetfs". config USB_FILE_STORAGE tristate "File-backed Storage Gadget (DEVELOPMENT)" # we don't support the SA1100 because of its limitations depends on USB_GADGET_SA1100 = n help The File-backed Storage Gadget acts as a USB Mass Storage disk drive. As its storage repository it can use a regular file or a block device (in much the same way as the "loop" device driver), specified as a module parameter. Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "g_file_storage". config USB_FILE_STORAGE_TEST bool "File-backed Storage Gadget test version" depends on USB_FILE_STORAGE default n help Say "y" to generate the larger testing version of the File-backed Storage Gadget, useful for probing the behavior of USB Mass Storage hosts. Not needed for normal operation. config USB_G_SERIAL tristate "Serial Gadget" help The Serial Gadget talks to the Linux-USB generic serial driver. Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a dynamically linked module called "g_serial". # put drivers that need isochronous transfer support (for audio # or video class gadget drivers), or specific hardware, here. # - none yet endchoice endmenu
