3 | * Overview | ||
4 | |||
5 | The Multifunction Composite Gadget (or g_multi) is a composite gadget | ||
6 | that makes extensive use of the composite framework to provide | ||
7 | a... multifunction gadget. | ||
8 | |||
9 | In it's standard configuration it provides a single USB configuration | ||
10 | with RNDIS[1] (that is Ethernet), USB CDC[2] ACM (that is serial) and | ||
11 | USB Mass Storage functions. | ||
12 | |||
13 | A CDC ECM (Ethernet) function may be turned on via a Kconfig option | ||
14 | and RNDIS can be turned off. If they are both enabled the gadget will | ||
15 | have two configurations -- one with RNDIS and another with CDC ECM[3]. | ||
16 | |||
17 | Please not that if you use non-standard configuration (that is enable | ||
18 | CDC ECM) you may need to change vendor and/or product ID. | ||
19 | |||
20 | * Host drivers | ||
21 | |||
22 | To make use of the gadget one needs to make it work on host side -- | ||
23 | without that there's no hope of achieving anything with the gadget. | ||
24 | As one might expect, things one need to do very from system to system. | ||
25 | |||
26 | ** Linux host drivers | ||
27 | |||
28 | Since the gadget uses standard composite framework and appears as such | ||
29 | to Linux host it does not need any additional drivers on Linux host | ||
30 | side. All the functions are handled by respective drivers developed | ||
31 | for them. | ||
32 | |||
33 | This is also true for two configuration set-up with RNDIS | ||
34 | configuration being the first one. Linux host will use the second | ||
35 | configuration with CDC ECM which should work better under Linux. | ||
36 | |||
37 | ** Windows host drivers | ||
38 | |||
39 | For the gadget two work under Windows two conditions have to be met: | ||
40 | |||
41 | *** Detecting as composite gadget | ||
42 | |||
43 | First of all, Windows need to detect the gadget as an USB composite | ||
44 | gadget which on its own have some conditions[4]. If they are met, | ||
45 | Windows lets USB Generic Parent Driver[5] handle the device which then | ||
46 | tries to much drivers for each individual interface (sort of, don't | ||
47 | get into too many details). | ||
48 | |||
49 | The good news is: you do not have to worry about most of the | ||
50 | conditions! | ||
51 | |||
52 | The only thing to worry is that the gadget has to have a single | ||
53 | configuration so a dual RNDIS and CDC ECM gadget won't work unless you | ||
54 | create a proper INF -- and of course, if you do submit it! | ||
55 | |||
56 | *** Installing drivers for each function | ||
57 | |||
58 | The other, trickier thing is making Windows install drivers for each | ||
59 | individual function. | ||
60 | |||
61 | For mass storage it is trivial since Windows detect it's an interface | ||
62 | implementing USB Mass Storage class and selects appropriate driver. | ||
63 | |||
64 | Things are harder with RDNIS and CDC ACM. | ||
65 | |||
66 | **** RNDIS | ||
67 | |||
68 | To make Windows select RNDIS drivers for the first function in the | ||
69 | gadget, one needs to use the [[file:linux.inf]] file provided with this | ||
70 | document. It "attaches" Window's RNDIS driver to the first interface | ||
71 | of the gadget. | ||
72 | |||
73 | Please note, that while testing we encountered some issues[6] when | ||
74 | RNDIS was not the first interface. You do not need to worry abut it | ||
75 | unless you are trying to develop your own gadget in which case watch | ||
76 | out for this bug. | ||
77 | |||
78 | **** CDC ACM | ||
79 | |||
80 | Similarly, [[file:linux-cdc-acm.inf]] is provided for CDC ACM. | ||
81 | |||
82 | **** Customising the gadget | ||
83 | |||
84 | If you intend to hack the g_multi gadget be advised that rearranging | ||
85 | functions will obviously change interface numbers for each of the | ||
86 | functionality. As an effect provided INFs won't work since they have | ||
87 | interface numbers hard-coded in them (it's not hard to change those | ||
88 | though[7]). | ||
89 | |||
90 | This also means, that after experimenting with g_multi and changing | ||
91 | provided functions one should change gadget's vendor and/or product ID | ||
92 | so there will be no collision with other customised gadgets or the | ||
93 | original gadget. | ||
94 | |||
95 | Failing to comply may cause brain damage after wondering for hours why | ||
96 | things don't work as intended before realising Windows have cached | ||
97 | some drivers information (changing USB port may sometimes help plus | ||
98 | you might try using USBDeview[8] to remove the phantom device). | ||
99 | |||
100 | **** INF testing | ||
101 | |||
102 | Provided INF files have been tested on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista | ||
103 | and Windows 7, all 32-bit versions. It should work on 64-bit versions | ||
104 | as well. It most likely won't work on Windows prior to Windows XP | ||
105 | SP2. | ||
106 | |||
107 | ** Other systems | ||
108 | |||
109 | At this moment, drivers for any other systems have not been tested. | ||
110 | Knowing how MacOS is based on BSD and BSD is an Open Source it is | ||
111 | believed that it should (read: "I have no idea whether it will") work | ||
112 | out-of-the-box. | ||
113 | |||
114 | For more exotic systems I have even less to say... | ||
115 | |||
116 | Any testing and drivers *are* *welcome*! | ||
117 | |||
118 | * Authors | ||
119 | |||
120 | This document has been written by Michal Nazarewicz | ||
121 | ([[mailto:mina86@mina86.com]]). INF files have been hacked with | ||
122 | support of Marek Szyprowski ([[mailto:m.szyprowski@samsung.com]]) and | ||
123 | Xiaofan Chen ([[mailto:xiaofanc@gmail.com]]) basing on the MS RNDIS | ||
124 | template[9], Microchip's CDC ACM INF file and David Brownell's | ||
125 | ([[mailto:dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net]]) original INF files. | ||
