2 | Linux USB Printer Gadget Driver | ||

9 | GENERAL | ||
10 | ======= | ||
11 | |||
12 | This driver may be used if you are writing printer firmware using Linux as | ||
13 | the embedded OS. This driver has nothing to do with using a printer with | ||
14 | your Linux host system. | ||
15 | |||
16 | You will need a USB device controller and a Linux driver for it that accepts | ||
17 | a gadget / "device class" driver using the Linux USB Gadget API. After the | ||
18 | USB device controller driver is loaded then load the printer gadget driver. | ||
19 | This will present a printer interface to the USB Host that your USB Device | ||
20 | port is connected to. | ||
21 | |||
22 | This driver is structured for printer firmware that runs in user mode. The | ||
23 | user mode printer firmware will read and write data from the kernel mode | ||
24 | printer gadget driver using a device file. The printer returns a printer status | ||
25 | byte when the USB HOST sends a device request to get the printer status. The | ||
26 | user 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 | |||
32 | HOWTO USE THIS DRIVER | ||
33 | ===================== | ||
34 | |||
35 | To load the USB device controller driver and the printer gadget driver. The | ||
36 | following example uses the Netchip 2280 USB device controller driver: | ||
37 | |||
38 | modprobe net2280 | ||
39 | modprobe g_printer | ||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | The follow command line parameter can be used when loading the printer gadget | ||
43 | (ex: modprobe g_printer idVendor=0x0525 idProduct=0xa4a8 ): | ||
44 | |||
45 | idVendor - 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 | |||
51 | idProduct - 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 | |||
56 | bcdDevice - This is the version number of your product. It would be a good idea | ||
57 | to put your firmware version here. | ||
58 | |||
59 | iManufacturer - A string containing the name of the Vendor. | ||
60 | |||
61 | iProduct - A string containing the Product Name. | ||
62 | |||
63 | iSerialNum - A string containing the Serial Number. This should be changed for | ||
64 | each unit of your product. | ||
65 | |||
66 | iPNPstring - 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 | |||
70 | qlen - 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 | |||
77 | USING THE EXAMPLE CODE | ||
78 | ====================== | ||
79 | |||
80 | This example code talks to stdout, instead of a print engine. | ||
81 | |||
82 | To compile the test code below: | ||
83 | |||
84 | 1) save it to a file called prn_example.c | ||
85 | 2) compile the code with the follow command: | ||
86 | gcc prn_example.c -o prn_example | ||
87 | |||
88 | |||
89 | |||
90 | To read printer data from the host to stdout: | ||
91 | |||
92 | # prn_example -read_data | ||
93 | |||
94 | |||
95 | To write printer data from a file (data_file) to the host: | ||
96 | |||
97 | # cat data_file | prn_example -write_data | ||
98 | |||
99 | |||
100 | To 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 | |||
110 | To set printer to Selected/On-line: | ||
111 | |||
112 | # prn_example -selected | ||
113 | |||
114 | |||
115 | To set printer to Not Selected/Off-line: | ||
116 | |||
117 | # prn_example -not_selected | ||
118 | |||
119 | |||
120 | To set paper status to paper out: | ||
121 | |||
122 | # prn_example -paper_out | ||
123 | |||
124 | |||
125 | To set paper status to paper loaded: | ||
126 | |||
127 | # prn_example -paper_loaded | ||
128 | |||
129 | |||
130 | To set error status to printer OK: | ||
131 | |||
132 | # prn_example -no_error | ||
133 | |||
134 | |||
135 | To set error status to ERROR: | ||
136 | |||
137 | # prn_example -error | ||
138 | |||
139 | |||
