2 Linux USB Printer Gadget Driver

9GENERAL
10=======
11
12This driver may be used if you are writing printer firmware using Linux as
13the embedded OS. This driver has nothing to do with using a printer with
14your Linux host system.
15
16You will need a USB device controller and a Linux driver for it that accepts
17a gadget / "device class" driver using the Linux USB Gadget API. After the
18USB device controller driver is loaded then load the printer gadget driver.
19This will present a printer interface to the USB Host that your USB Device
20port is connected to.
21
22This driver is structured for printer firmware that runs in user mode. The
23user mode printer firmware will read and write data from the kernel mode
24printer gadget driver using a device file. The printer returns a printer status
25byte when the USB HOST sends a device request to get the printer status. The
26user space firmware can read or write this status byte using a device file
27/dev/g_printer . Both blocking and non-blocking read/write calls are supported.
28
29
30
31
32HOWTO USE THIS DRIVER
33=====================
34
35To load the USB device controller driver and the printer gadget driver. The
36following example uses the Netchip 2280 USB device controller driver:
37
38modprobe net2280
39modprobe g_printer
40
41
42The follow command line parameter can be used when loading the printer gadget
43(ex: modprobe g_printer idVendor=0x0525 idProduct=0xa4a8 ):
44
45idVendor - This is the Vendor ID used in the device descriptor. The default is
46 the Netchip vendor id 0x0525. YOU MUST CHANGE TO YOUR OWN VENDOR ID
47 BEFORE RELEASING A PRODUCT. If you plan to release a product and don't
48 already have a Vendor ID please see www.usb.org for details on how to
49 get one.
50
51idProduct - This is the Product ID used in the device descriptor. The default
52 is 0xa4a8, you should change this to an ID that's not used by any of
53 your other USB products if you have any. It would be a good idea to
54 start numbering your products starting with say 0x0001.
55
56bcdDevice - This is the version number of your product. It would be a good idea
57 to put your firmware version here.
58
59iManufacturer - A string containing the name of the Vendor.
60
61iProduct - A string containing the Product Name.
62
63iSerialNum - A string containing the Serial Number. This should be changed for
64 each unit of your product.
65
66iPNPstring - The PNP ID string used for this printer. You will want to set
67 either on the command line or hard code the PNP ID string used for
68 your printer product.
69
70qlen - The number of 8k buffers to use per endpoint. The default is 10, you
71 should tune this for your product. You may also want to tune the
72 size of each buffer for your product.
73
74
75
76
77USING THE EXAMPLE CODE
78======================
79
80This example code talks to stdout, instead of a print engine.
81
82To compile the test code below:
83
841) save it to a file called prn_example.c
852) compile the code with the follow command:
86 gcc prn_example.c -o prn_example
87
88
89
90To read printer data from the host to stdout:
91
92 # prn_example -read_data
93
94
95To write printer data from a file (data_file) to the host:
96
97 # cat data_file | prn_example -write_data
98
99
100To get the current printer status for the gadget driver:
101
102 # prn_example -get_status
103
104 Printer status is:
105 Printer is NOT Selected
106 Paper is Out
107 Printer OK
108
109
110To set printer to Selected/On-line:
111
112 # prn_example -selected
113
114
115To set printer to Not Selected/Off-line:
116
117 # prn_example -not_selected
118
119
120To set paper status to paper out:
121
122 # prn_example -paper_out
123
124
125To set paper status to paper loaded:
126
127 # prn_example -paper_loaded
128
129
130To set error status to printer OK:
131
132 # prn_example -no_error
133
134
135To set error status to ERROR:
136
137 # prn_example -error
138

7This module provide a serial interface to use your
8IUU unit in phoenix mode. Loading this module will
9bring a ttyUSB[0-x] interface. This driver must be
10used by your favorite application to pilot the IUU
11
12This driver is still in beta stage, so bugs can
13occur and your system may freeze. As far I now,
14I never had any problem with it, but I'm not a real
15guru, so don't blame me if your system is unstable
16
17You can plug more than one IUU. Every unit will
18have his own device file(/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1,...)

22How to tune the reader speed ?
23
24 A few parameters can be used at load time
25 To use parameters, just unload the module if it is
26 already loaded and use modprobe iuu_phoenix param=value.
27 In case of prebuilt module, use the command
28 insmod iuu_phoenix param=value.
29
30 Example:
31
32 modprobe iuu_phoenix clockmode=3
33
34 The parameters are:
35
36 parm: clockmode:1=3Mhz579,2=3Mhz680,3=6Mhz (int)
37 parm: boost:overclock boost percent 100 to 500 (int)
38 parm: cdmode:Card detect mode 0=none, 1=CD, 2=!CD, 3=DSR, 4=!DSR, 5=CTS, 6=!CTS, 7=RING, 8=!RING (int)
39 parm: xmas:xmas color enabled or not (bool)
40 parm: debug:Debug enabled or not (bool)

42- clockmode will provide 3 different base settings commonly adopted by
43 different software:
44 1. 3Mhz579
45 2. 3Mhz680
46 3. 6Mhz
47
48- boost provide a way to overclock the reader ( my favorite :-) )
49 For example to have best performance than a simple clockmode=3, try this:
50
51 modprobe boost=195
52
53 This will put the reader in a base of 3Mhz579 but boosted a 195 % !
54 the real clock will be now : 6979050 Hz ( 6Mhz979 ) and will increase
55 the speed to a score 10 to 20% better than the simple clockmode=3 !!!
56
57
58- cdmode permit to setup the signal used to inform the userland ( ioctl answer )
59 if the card is present or not. Eight signals are possible.
60
61- xmas is completely useless except for your eyes. This is one of my friend who was
62 so sad to have a nice device like the iuu without seeing all color range available.
63 So I have added this option to permit him to see a lot of color ( each activity change the color
64 and the frequency randomly )
65
66- debug will produce a lot of debugging messages...

69 Last notes:
70
71 Don't worry about the serial settings, the serial emulation
72 is an abstraction, so use any speed or parity setting will
73 work. ( This will not change anything ).Later I will perhaps
74 use this settings to deduce de boost but is that feature
75 really necessary ?
76 The autodetect feature used is the serial CD. If that doesn't
77 work for your software, disable detection mechanism in it.
