17 tristate "USB Gadget Support"
20 USB is a master/slave protocol, organized with one master
21 host (such as a PC) controlling up to 127 peripheral devices.
22 The USB hardware is asymmetric, which makes it easier to set up:
23 you can't connect a "to-the-host" connector to a peripheral.
25 Linux can run in the host, or in the peripheral. In both cases
26 you need a low level bus controller driver, and some software
27 talking to it. Peripheral controllers are often discrete silicon,
28 or are integrated with the CPU in a microcontroller. The more
29 familiar host side controllers have names like "EHCI", "OHCI",
30 or "UHCI", and are usually integrated into southbridges on PC
33 Enable this configuration option if you want to run Linux inside
34 a USB peripheral device. Configure one hardware driver for your
35 peripheral/device side bus controller, and a "gadget driver" for
36 your peripheral protocol. (If you use modular gadget drivers,
37 you may configure more than one.)
39 If in doubt, say "N" and don't enable these drivers; most people
40 don't have this kind of hardware (except maybe inside Linux PDAs).

51 Many controller and gadget drivers will print some debugging
52 messages if you use this option to ask for those messages.
54 Avoid enabling these messages, even if you're actively
55 debugging such a driver. Many drivers will emit so many
56 messages that the driver timings are affected, which will

76 boolean "Debugging information files (DEVELOPMENT)"
79 Some of the drivers in the "gadget" framework can expose
80 debugging information in files such as /proc/driver/udc

97 config USB_GADGET_VBUS_DRAW

102 Some devices need to draw power from USB when they are
103 configured, perhaps to operate circuitry or to recharge
104 batteries. This is in addition to any local power supply,
105 such as an AC adapter or batteries.
107 Enter the maximum power your device draws through USB, in
108 milliAmperes. The permitted range of values is 2 - 500 mA;
109 0 mA would be legal, but can make some hosts misbehave.
111 This value will be used except for system-specific gadget
112 drivers that have more specific information.
114 config USB_GADGET_STORAGE_NUM_BUFFERS
115 int "Number of storage pipeline buffers"
119 Usually 2 buffers are enough to establish a good buffering
120 pipeline. The number may be increased in order to compensate
121 for a bursty VFS behaviour. For instance there may be CPU wake up
122 latencies that makes the VFS to appear bursty in a system with
123 an CPU on-demand governor. Especially if DMA is doing IO to
124 offload the CPU. In this case the CPU will go into power
125 save often and spin up occasionally to move data within VFS.
126 If selecting USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES this value may be set by
127 a module parameter as well.

766 This Gadget Audio driver is compatible with USB Audio Class
767 specification 2.0. It implements 1 AudioControl interface,
768 1 AudioStreaming Interface each for USB-OUT and USB-IN.
769 Number of channels, sample rate and sample size can be
770 specified as module parameters.
771 This driver doesn't expect any real Audio codec to be present
772 on the device - the audio streams are simply sinked to and
773 sourced from a virtual ALSA sound card created. The user-space
774 application may choose to do whatever it wants with the data
775 received from the USB Host and choose to provide whatever it
776 wants as audio data to the USB Host.
778 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
779 dynamically linked module called "g_audio".
782 bool "UAC 1.0 (Legacy)"
785 If you instead want older UAC Spec-1.0 driver that also has audio
786 paths hardwired to the Audio codec chip on-board and doesn't work
790 tristate "Ethernet Gadget (with CDC Ethernet support)"
792 select USB_LIBCOMPOSITE
798 This driver implements Ethernet style communication, in one of
801 - The "Communication Device Class" (CDC) Ethernet Control Model.
802 That protocol is often avoided with pure Ethernet adapters, in
803 favor of simpler vendor-specific hardware, but is widely
804 supported by firmware for smart network devices.
806 - On hardware can't implement that protocol, a simple CDC subset
807 is used, placing fewer demands on USB.
809 - CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) is a newer standard that has
810 a simpler interface that can be used by more USB hardware.
812 RNDIS support is an additional option, more demanding than than
815 Within the USB device, this gadget driver exposes a network device
816 "usbX", where X depends on what other networking devices you have.
817 Treat it like a two-node Ethernet link: host, and gadget.
819 The Linux-USB host-side "usbnet" driver interoperates with this
820 driver, so that deep I/O queues can be supported. On 2.4 kernels,
821 use "CDCEther" instead, if you're using the CDC option. That CDC
822 mode should also interoperate with standard CDC Ethernet class
823 drivers on other host operating systems.
825 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
826 dynamically linked module called "g_ether".
831 select USB_LIBCOMPOSITE
835 Microsoft Windows XP bundles the "Remote NDIS" (RNDIS) protocol,
836 and Microsoft provides redistributable binary RNDIS drivers for
837 older versions of Windows.
839 If you say "y" here, the Ethernet gadget driver will try to provide
840 a second device configuration, supporting RNDIS to talk to such
843 To make MS-Windows work with this, use Documentation/usb/linux.inf
844 as the "driver info file". For versions of MS-Windows older than
845 XP, you'll need to download drivers from Microsoft's website; a URL
846 is given in comments found in that info file.
849 bool "Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) support"
851 select USB_LIBCOMPOSITE
855 CDC EEM is a newer USB standard that is somewhat simpler than CDC ECM
856 and therefore can be supported by more hardware. Technically ECM and
857 EEM are designed for different applications. The ECM model extends
858 the network interface to the target (e.g. a USB cable modem), and the
859 EEM model is for mobile devices to communicate with hosts using
860 ethernet over USB. For Linux gadgets, however, the interface with
861 the host is the same (a usbX device), so the differences are minimal.
863 If you say "y" here, the Ethernet gadget driver will use the EEM
864 protocol rather than ECM. If unsure, say "n".
867 tristate "Network Control Model (NCM) support"
869 select USB_LIBCOMPOSITE

877 alignment possibilities.
879 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
880 dynamically linked module called "g_ncm".
883 tristate "Gadget Filesystem"
885 This driver provides a filesystem based API that lets user mode
886 programs implement a single-configuration USB device, including
887 endpoint I/O and control requests that don't relate to enumeration.
888 All endpoints, transfer speeds, and transfer types supported by
889 the hardware are available, through read() and write() calls.
891 Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
892 dynamically linked module called "gadgetfs".

900 The Function Filesystem (FunctionFS) lets one create USB
901 composite functions in user space in the same way GadgetFS
902 lets one create USB gadgets in user space. This allows creation
903 of composite gadgets such that some of the functions are
904 implemented in kernel space (for instance Ethernet, serial or
905 mass storage) and other are implemented in user space.
907 If you say "y" or "m" here you will be able what kind of
908 configurations the gadget will provide.

945 As its storage repository it can use a regular file or a block
946 device (in much the same way as the "loop" device driver),
947 specified as a module parameter or sysfs option.
949 This driver is a replacement for now removed File-backed

961 BBB or BOT (Bulk Only Transport) and UAS (USB Attached SCSI). BOT is
962 advertised on alternative interface 0 (primary) and UAS is on
963 alternative interface 1. Both protocols can work on USB2.0 and USB3.0.
964 UAS utilizes the USB 3.0 feature called streams support.

975 The Serial Gadget talks to the Linux-USB generic serial driver.
976 This driver supports a CDC-ACM module option, which can be used
977 to interoperate with MS-Windows hosts or with the Linux-USB
980 This driver also supports a CDC-OBEX option. You will need a
981 user space OBEX server talking to /dev/ttyGS*, since the kernel
982 itself doesn't implement the OBEX protocol.

985 dynamically linked module called "g_serial".
