port_num
The attribute is read-only.
There can be at most 4 ACM/generic serial/OBEX ports in the system.
Testing the ACM function
------------------------
On the host: cat > /dev/ttyACM<X>
On the device : cat /dev/ttyGS<Y>
then the other way round
On the device: cat > /dev/ttyGS<Y>
On the host: cat /dev/ttyACM<X>
2. ECM function
===============
The function is provided by usb_f_ecm.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ecm".
The ECM function provides these attributes in its function directory:
ifname - network device interface name associated with this
function instance
qmult - queue length multiplier for high and super speed
host_addr - MAC address of host's end of this
Ethernet over USB link
dev_addr - MAC address of device's end of this
Ethernet over USB link
and after creating the functions/ecm.<instance name> they contain default
values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
Except for ifname they can be written to until the function is linked to a
configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.
Testing the ECM function
------------------------
Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:
On the device: ping <host's IP>
On the host: ping <device's IP>
3. ECM subset function

On the device: ping <host's IP>
On the host: ping <device's IP>
4. EEM function
===============
The function is provided by usb_f_eem.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "eem".
The EEM function provides these attributes in its function directory:
ifname - network device interface name associated with this
function instance
qmult - queue length multiplier for high and super speed
host_addr - MAC address of host's end of this
Ethernet over USB link
dev_addr - MAC address of device's end of this
Ethernet over USB link
and after creating the functions/eem.<instance name> they contain default
values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
Except for ifname they can be written to until the function is linked to a
configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.

------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ffs".
The function directory is intentionally empty and not modifiable.
After creating the directory there is a new instance (a "device") of FunctionFS
available in the system. Once a "device" is available, the user should follow
the standard procedure for using FunctionFS (mount it, run the userspace
process which implements the function proper). The gadget should be enabled
by writing a suitable string to usb_gadget/<gadget>/UDC.
Testing the FFS function
------------------------
On the device: start the function's userspace daemon, enable the gadget
On the host: use the USB function provided by the device
6. HID function
===============
The function is provided by usb_f_hid.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "hid".
The HID function provides these attributes in its function directory:
protocol - HID protocol to use
report_desc - data to be used in HID reports, except data
passed with /dev/hidg<X>
report_length - HID report length
subclass - HID subclass to use
For a keyboard the protocol and the subclass are 1, the report_length is 8,
while the report_desc is:
$ hd my_report_desc
00000000 05 01 09 06 a1 01 05 07 19 e0 29 e7 15 00 25 01 |..........)...%.|

00000020 05 08 19 01 29 05 91 02 95 01 75 03 91 03 95 06 |....).....u.....|
00000030 75 08 15 00 25 65 05 07 19 00 29 65 81 00 c0 |u...%e....)e...|
0000003f
Such a sequence of bytes can be stored to the attribute with echo:
$ echo -ne \\x05\\x01\\x09\\x06\\xa1.....
Testing the HID function
------------------------
Device:
- create the gadget
- connect the gadget to a host, preferably not the one used
to control the gadget
- run a program which writes to /dev/hidg<N>, e.g.
a userspace program found in Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt:
$ ./hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard
Host:
- observe the keystrokes from the gadget
7. LOOPBACK function
====================
The function is provided by usb_f_ss_lb.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "Loopback".
The LOOPBACK function provides these attributes in its function directory:
qlen - depth of loopback queue
bulk_buflen - buffer length
Testing the LOOPBACK function
-----------------------------
device: run the gadget
host: test-usb
http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtest/testusb.c
8. MASS STORAGE function
========================
The function is provided by usb_f_mass_storage.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "mass_storage".
The MASS STORAGE function provides these attributes in its directory:
files:
stall - Set to permit function to halt bulk endpoints.
Disabled on some USB devices known not to work
correctly. You should set it to true.
num_buffers - Number of pipeline buffers. Valid numbers
are 2..4. Available only if
CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES is set.
and a default lun.0 directory corresponding to SCSI LUN #0.
A new lun can be added with mkdir:
$ mkdir functions/mass_storage.0/partition.5
Lun numbering does not have to be continuous, except for lun #0 which is
created by default. A maximum of 8 luns can be specified and they all must be
named following the <name>.<number> scheme. The numbers can be 0..8.
Probably a good convention is to name the luns "lun.<number>",
although it is not mandatory.
In each lun directory there are the following attribute files:
file - The path to the backing file for the LUN.
Required if LUN is not marked as removable.
ro - Flag specifying access to the LUN shall be
read-only. This is implied if CD-ROM emulation
is enabled as well as when it was impossible
to open "filename" in R/W mode.
removable - Flag specifying that LUN shall be indicated as
being removable.
cdrom - Flag specifying that LUN shall be reported as
being a CD-ROM.
nofua - Flag specifying that FUA flag
in SCSI WRITE(10,12)
Testing the MASS STORAGE function
---------------------------------
device: connect the gadget, enable it
host: dmesg, see the USB drives appear (if system configured to automatically
mount)
9. MIDI function
================
The function is provided by usb_f_midi.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "midi".

buflen - MIDI buffer length
id - ID string for the USB MIDI adapter
in_ports - number of MIDI input ports
index - index value for the USB MIDI adapter
out_ports - number of MIDI output ports
qlen - USB read request queue length
Testing the MIDI function
-------------------------
There are two cases: playing a mid from the gadget to
the host and playing a mid from the host to the gadget.
1) Playing a mid from the gadget to the host
host)
$ arecordmidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
24:0 MIDI Gadget MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
$ arecordmidi -p 24:0 from_gadget.mid
gadget)
$ aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
20:0 f_midi f_midi
$ aplaymidi -p 20:0 to_host.mid
2) Playing a mid from the host to the gadget
gadget)
$ arecordmidi -l
Port Client name Port name
20:0 f_midi f_midi
$ arecordmidi -p 20:0 from_host.mid
host)
$ aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
24:0 MIDI Gadget MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
$ aplaymidi -p24:0 to_gadget.mid
The from_gadget.mid should sound identical to the to_host.mid.
The from_host.id should sound identical to the to_gadget.mid.
MIDI files can be played to speakers/headphones with e.g. timidity installed
$ aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
24:0 MIDI Gadget MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
128:0 TiMidity TiMidity port 0
128:1 TiMidity TiMidity port 1
128:2 TiMidity TiMidity port 2
128:3 TiMidity TiMidity port 3
$ aplaymidi -p 128:0 file.mid
MIDI ports can be logically connected using the aconnect utility, e.g.:
$ aconnect 24:0 128:0 # try it on the host
After the gadget's MIDI port is connected to timidity's MIDI port,
whatever is played at the gadget side with aplaymidi -l is audible
in host's speakers/headphones.
10. NCM function
================
The function is provided by usb_f_ncm.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ncm".

function instance
qmult - queue length multiplier for high and super speed
host_addr - MAC address of host's end of this
Ethernet over USB link
dev_addr - MAC address of device's end of this
Ethernet over USB link
and after creating the functions/ncm.<instance name> they contain default
values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
Except for ifname they can be written to until the function is linked to a
configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.
Testing the NCM function
