 34 ===============
 35 
 36 The function is provided by usb_f_acm.ko module.
 37 
 38 Function-specific configfs interface
 39 ------------------------------------
 40 
 41 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "acm".
 42 The ACM function provides just one attribute in its function directory:
 43 
 44         port_num
 45 
 46 The attribute is read-only.
 47 
 48 There can be at most 4 ACM/generic serial/OBEX ports in the system.
 49 
 50 
 51 Testing the ACM function
 52 ------------------------
 53 
 54 On the host::
 55 
 56         cat > /dev/ttyACM<X>
 57 
 58 On the device::
 59 
 60         cat /dev/ttyGS<Y>
 61 
 62 then the other way round
 63 
 64 On the device::
 65 
 66         cat > /dev/ttyGS<Y>
 67 
 68 On the host::
 69 
 70         cat /dev/ttyACM<X>
 71 
 72 2. ECM function
 73 ===============
 74 
 75 The function is provided by usb_f_ecm.ko module.
 76 
 77 Function-specific configfs interface
 78 ------------------------------------
 79 
 80 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ecm".
 81 The ECM function provides these attributes in its function directory:
 82 
 83         =============== ==================================================
 84         ifname          network device interface name associated with this
 85                         function instance
 86         qmult           queue length multiplier for high and super speed
 87         host_addr       MAC address of host's end of this
 88                         Ethernet over USB link
 89         dev_addr        MAC address of device's end of this
 90                         Ethernet over USB link
 91         =============== ==================================================
 92 
 93 and after creating the functions/ecm.<instance name> they contain default
 94 values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
 95 The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
 96 interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
 97 next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".
 98 
 99 Testing the ECM function
100 ------------------------
101 
102 Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:
103

130                         Ethernet over USB link
131         =============== ==================================================
132 
133 and after creating the functions/ecm.<instance name> they contain default
134 values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
135 The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
136 interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
137 next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".
138 
139 Testing the ECM subset function
140 -------------------------------
141 
142 Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:
143 
144 On the device::
145 
146         ping <host's IP>
147 
148 On the host::
149 
150         ping <device's IP>
151 
152 4. EEM function
153 ===============
154 
155 The function is provided by usb_f_eem.ko module.
156 
157 Function-specific configfs interface
158 ------------------------------------
159 
160 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "eem".
161 The EEM function provides these attributes in its function directory:
162 
163         =============== ==================================================
164         ifname          network device interface name associated with this
165                         function instance
166         qmult           queue length multiplier for high and super speed
167         host_addr       MAC address of host's end of this
168                         Ethernet over USB link
169         dev_addr        MAC address of device's end of this
170                         Ethernet over USB link
171         =============== ==================================================
172 
173 and after creating the functions/eem.<instance name> they contain default
174 values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
175 The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
176 interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
177 next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".
178 
179 Testing the EEM function
180 ------------------------
181 
182 Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:
183 
184 On the device::
185 
186         ping <host's IP>

196 
197 Function-specific configfs interface
198 ------------------------------------
199 
200 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ffs".
201 The function directory is intentionally empty and not modifiable.
202 
203 After creating the directory there is a new instance (a "device") of FunctionFS
204 available in the system. Once a "device" is available, the user should follow
205 the standard procedure for using FunctionFS (mount it, run the userspace
206 process which implements the function proper). The gadget should be enabled
207 by writing a suitable string to usb_gadget/<gadget>/UDC.
208 
209 The FFS function provides just one attribute in its function directory:
210 
211         ready
212 
213 The attribute is read-only and signals if the function is ready (1) to be
214 used, E.G. if userspace has written descriptors and strings to ep0, so
215 the gadget can be enabled.
216 
217 Testing the FFS function
218 ------------------------
219 
220 On the device: start the function's userspace daemon, enable the gadget
221 
222 On the host: use the USB function provided by the device
223

239         report_length   HID report length
240         subclass        HID subclass to use
241         =============== ===========================================
242 
243 For a keyboard the protocol and the subclass are 1, the report_length is 8,
244 while the report_desc is::
245 
246   $ hd my_report_desc
247   00000000  05 01 09 06 a1 01 05 07  19 e0 29 e7 15 00 25 01  |..........)...%.|
248   00000010  75 01 95 08 81 02 95 01  75 08 81 03 95 05 75 01  |u.......u.....u.|

250   00000030  75 08 15 00 25 65 05 07  19 00 29 65 81 00 c0     |u...%e....)e...|
251   0000003f
252 
253 Such a sequence of bytes can be stored to the attribute with echo::
254 
255   $ echo -ne \\x05\\x01\\x09\\x06\\xa1.....
256 
257 Testing the HID function
258 ------------------------
259 
260 Device:
261 
262 - create the gadget
263 - connect the gadget to a host, preferably not the one used
264   to control the gadget
265 - run a program which writes to /dev/hidg<N>, e.g.
266   a userspace program found in Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.rst::
267 
268         $ ./hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard
269 
270 Host:
271 
272 - observe the keystrokes from the gadget

306 The MASS STORAGE function provides these attributes in its directory:
307 files:
308 
309         =============== ==============================================
310         stall           Set to permit function to halt bulk endpoints.
311                         Disabled on some USB devices known not to work
312                         correctly. You should set it to true.
313         num_buffers     Number of pipeline buffers. Valid numbers
314                         are 2..4. Available only if
315                         CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES is set.
316         =============== ==============================================
317 
318 and a default lun.0 directory corresponding to SCSI LUN #0.
319 
320 A new lun can be added with mkdir::
321 
322         $ mkdir functions/mass_storage.0/partition.5
323 
324 Lun numbering does not have to be continuous, except for lun #0 which is
325 created by default. A maximum of 8 luns can be specified and they all must be
326 named following the <name>.<number> scheme. The numbers can be 0..8.
327 Probably a good convention is to name the luns "lun.<number>",
328 although it is not mandatory.
329 
330 In each lun directory there are the following attribute files:
331 
332         =============== ==============================================
333         file            The path to the backing file for the LUN.
334                         Required if LUN is not marked as removable.
335         ro              Flag specifying access to the LUN shall be
336                         read-only. This is implied if CD-ROM emulation
337                         is enabled as well as when it was impossible
338                         to open "filename" in R/W mode.
339         removable       Flag specifying that LUN shall be indicated as
340                         being removable.
341         cdrom           Flag specifying that LUN shall be reported as
342                         being a CD-ROM.
343         nofua           Flag specifying that FUA flag
344                         in SCSI WRITE(10,12)
345         forced_eject    This write-only file is useful only when
346                         the function is active. It causes the backing
347                         file to be forcibly detached from the LUN,
348                         regardless of whether the host has allowed it.
349                         Any non-zero number of bytes written will
350                         result in ejection.
351         =============== ==============================================
352 
353 Testing the MASS STORAGE function
354 ---------------------------------
355 
356 device: connect the gadget, enable it
357 host: dmesg, see the USB drives appear (if system configured to automatically
358 mount)
359 
360 9. MIDI function
361 ================
362 
363 The function is provided by usb_f_midi.ko module.
364 
365 Function-specific configfs interface
366 ------------------------------------
367 
368 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "midi".
369 The MIDI function provides these attributes in its function directory:
370 
371         =============== ====================================
372         buflen          MIDI buffer length
373         id              ID string for the USB MIDI adapter
374         in_ports        number of MIDI input ports
375         index           index value for the USB MIDI adapter
376         out_ports       number of MIDI output ports
377         qlen            USB read request queue length
378         =============== ====================================
379 
380 Testing the MIDI function
381 -------------------------
382 
383 There are two cases: playing a mid from the gadget to
384 the host and playing a mid from the host to the gadget.
385 
386 1) Playing a mid from the gadget to the host:
387 
388 host::
389 
390   $ arecordmidi -l
391    Port    Client name                      Port name
392    14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
393    24:0    MIDI Gadget                      MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
394   $ arecordmidi -p 24:0 from_gadget.mid
395 
396 gadget::
397 
398   $ aplaymidi -l
399    Port    Client name                      Port name
400    20:0    f_midi                           f_midi
401 
402   $ aplaymidi -p 20:0 to_host.mid
403 
404 2) Playing a mid from the host to the gadget
405 
406 gadget::
407 
408   $ arecordmidi -l
409    Port    Client name                      Port name
410    20:0    f_midi                           f_midi
411 
412   $ arecordmidi -p 20:0 from_host.mid
413 
414 host::
415 
416   $ aplaymidi -l
417    Port    Client name                      Port name
418    14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
419    24:0    MIDI Gadget                      MIDI Gadget MIDI 1
420 
421   $ aplaymidi -p24:0 to_gadget.mid
422 
423 The from_gadget.mid should sound identical to the to_host.mid.
424 
425 The from_host.id should sound identical to the to_gadget.mid.
426 
427 MIDI files can be played to speakers/headphones with e.g. timidity installed::
428 
429   $ aplaymidi -l
430    Port    Client name                      Port name
431    14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0

447 
448 10. NCM function
449 ================
450 
451 The function is provided by usb_f_ncm.ko module.
452 
453 Function-specific configfs interface
454 ------------------------------------
455 
456 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ncm".
457 The NCM function provides these attributes in its function directory:
458 
459         ======================= ==================================================
460         ifname                  network device interface name associated with this
461                                 function instance
462         qmult                   queue length multiplier for high and super speed
463         host_addr               MAC address of host's end of this
464                                 Ethernet over USB link
465         dev_addr                MAC address of device's end of this
466                                 Ethernet over USB link
467         max_segment_size        Segment size required for P2P connections. This
468                                 will set MTU to 14 bytes
469         ======================= ==================================================
470 
471 and after creating the functions/ncm.<instance name> they contain default
472 values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
473 The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
474 interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
475 next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".
476 
477 Testing the NCM function
478 ------------------------
479 
480 Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:
481 
482 On the device::
483 
484         ping <host's IP>
485 
486 On the host::

506 
507 Testing the OBEX function
508 -------------------------
509 
510 On device::
511 
512         seriald -f /dev/ttyGS<Y> -s 1024
513 
514 On host::
515 
516         serialc -v <vendorID> -p <productID> -i<interface#> -a1 -s1024 \
517                 -t<out endpoint addr> -r<in endpoint addr>

536                         function instance
537         =============== ==================================================
538 
539 Testing the PHONET function
540 ---------------------------
541 
542 It is not possible to test the SOCK_STREAM protocol without a specific piece
543 of hardware, so only SOCK_DGRAM has been tested. For the latter to work,
544 in the past I had to apply the patch mentioned here:
545 
546 http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85689.html
547 
548 These tools are required:
549 
550 git://git.gitorious.org/meego-cellular/phonet-utils.git
551 
552 On the host::
553 
554         $ ./phonet -a 0x10 -i usbpn0
555         $ ./pnroute add 0x6c usbpn0
556         $./pnroute add 0x10 usbpn0
557         $ ifconfig usbpn0 up
558 
559 On the device::
560 
561         $ ./phonet -a 0x6c -i upnlink0
562         $ ./pnroute add 0x10 upnlink0
563         $ ifconfig upnlink0 up
564 
565 Then a test program can be used::
566 
567         http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85690.html
568 
569 On the device::
570 
571         $ ./pnxmit -a 0x6c -r
572 
573 On the host::
574 
575         $ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -s 0x6c
576 
577 As a result some data should be sent from host to device.
578 Then the other way round:
579 
580 On the host::
581 
582         $ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -r
583 
584 On the device::
585 
586         $ ./pnxmit -a 0x6c -s 0x10
587

809         function_name       name of the interface
810         =================== ================================================
811 
812 There are also "control" and "streaming" subdirectories, each of which contain
813 a number of their subdirectories. There are some sane defaults provided, but
814 the user must provide the following:
815 
816         ================== ====================================================
817         control header     create in control/header, link from control/class/fs

825                            streaming/uncompressed/<format>
826         ================== ====================================================
827 
828 Each frame description contains frame interval specification, and each
829 such specification consists of a number of lines with an interval value
830 in each line. The rules stated above are best illustrated with an example::
831 
832   # mkdir functions/uvc.usb0/control/header/h
833   # cd functions/uvc.usb0/control/
834   # ln -s header/h class/fs

927 20. UAC1 function (virtual ALSA card, using u_audio API)
928 ========================================================
929 
930 The function is provided by usb_f_uac1.ko module.
931 It will create a virtual ALSA card and the audio streams are simply
932 sinked to and sourced from it.
933 
934 Function-specific configfs interface
935 ------------------------------------
936 
937 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "uac1".
938 The uac1 function provides these attributes in its function directory:
939 
940         ================ ====================================================
941         c_chmask         capture channel mask
942         c_srate          list of capture sampling rates (comma-separated)
943         c_ssize          capture sample size (bytes)
944         c_mute_present   capture mute control enable
945         c_volume_present capture volume control enable
946         c_volume_min     capture volume control min value (in 1/256 dB)
947         c_volume_max     capture volume control max value (in 1/256 dB)
948         c_volume_res     capture volume control resolution (in 1/256 dB)
949         p_chmask         playback channel mask
950         p_srate          list of playback sampling rates (comma-separated)
951         p_ssize          playback sample size (bytes)
952         p_mute_present   playback mute control enable
953         p_volume_present playback volume control enable
954         p_volume_min     playback volume control min value (in 1/256 dB)
955         p_volume_max     playback volume control max value (in 1/256 dB)
956         p_volume_res     playback volume control resolution (in 1/256 dB)
957         req_number       the number of pre-allocated requests for both capture
958                          and playback
959         function_name    name of the interface
960         ================ ====================================================
961 
962 The attributes have sane default values.
963 
964 Testing the UAC1 function
965 -------------------------
966 
967 device: run the gadget
968 host: aplay -l # should list our USB Audio Gadget
969 
970 This function does not require real hardware support, it just
971 sends a stream of audio data to/from the host. In order to
972 actually hear something at the device side, a command similar
973 to this must be used at the device side::
974 
975         $ arecord -f dat -t wav -D hw:2,0 | aplay -D hw:0,0 &
976 
977 e.g.::
978 
979         $ arecord -f dat -t wav -D hw:CARD=UAC1Gadget,DEV=0 | \
980           aplay -D default:CARD=OdroidU3
981 
982 
983 21. MIDI2 function
984 ==================
985 
986 The function is provided by usb_f_midi2.ko module.
987 It will create a virtual ALSA card containing a UMP rawmidi device
988 where the UMP packet is looped back. In addition, a legacy rawmidi
989 device is created. The UMP rawmidi is bound with ALSA sequencer
990 clients, too.
991 
992 Function-specific configfs interface
993 ------------------------------------
994 
995 The function name to use when creating the function directory is "midi2".
996 The midi2 function provides these attributes in its function directory
997 as the card top-level information:
998 
999         =============   =================================================
1000         process_ump     Bool flag to process UMP Stream messages (0 or 1)
1001         static_block    Bool flag for static blocks (0 or 1)
1002         iface_name      Optional interface name string
1003         =============   =================================================
1004 
1005 The directory contains a subdirectory "ep.0", and this provides the
1006 attributes for a UMP Endpoint (which is a pair of USB MIDI Endpoints):
1007 
1008         =============   =================================================
1009         protocol_caps   MIDI protocol capabilities;
1010                         1: MIDI 1.0, 2: MIDI 2.0, or 3: both protocols
1011         protocol        Default MIDI protocol (either 1 or 2)
1012         ep_name         UMP Endpoint name string
1013         product_id      Product ID string
1014         manufacturer    Manufacture ID number (24 bit)

1016         model           Device model ID number (16 bit)
1017         sw_revision     Software revision (32 bit)
1018         =============   =================================================
1019 
1020 Each Endpoint subdirectory contains a subdirectory "block.0", which
1021 represents the Function Block for Block 0 information.
1022 Its attributes are:
1023 
1024         =================       ===============================================
1025         name                    Function Block name string
1026         direction               Direction of this FB
1027                                 1: input, 2: output, or 3: bidirectional
1028         first_group             The first UMP Group number (0-15)
1029         num_groups              The number of groups in this FB (1-16)

1034         midi_ci_verison         Supported MIDI-CI version number (8 bit)
1035         is_midi1                Legacy MIDI 1.0 device (0-2)
1036                                 0: MIDI 2.0 device,
1037                                 1: MIDI 1.0 without restriction, or
1038                                 2: MIDI 1.0 with low speed

1041         =================       ===============================================
1042 
1043 If multiple Function Blocks are required, you can add more Function
1044 Blocks by creating subdirectories "block.<num>" with the corresponding
1045 Function Block number (1, 2, ....). The FB subdirectories can be
1046 dynamically removed, too. Note that the Function Block numbers must be
1047 continuous.
1048 
1049 Similarly, if you multiple UMP Endpoints are required, you can add
1050 more Endpoints by creating subdirectories "ep.<num>". The number must
1051 be continuous.
1052 
1053 For emulating the old MIDI 2.0 device without UMP v1.1 support, pass 0
1054 to `process_ump` flag. Then the whole UMP v1.1 requests are ignored.
1055 
1056 Testing the MIDI2 function
1057 --------------------------
1058 
1059 On the device: run the gadget, and running::
1060 
1061   $ cat /proc/asound/cards
1062 
1063 will show a new sound card containing a MIDI2 device.
1064 
1065 OTOH, on the host::
1066 
1067   $ cat /proc/asound/cards
1068 
1069 will show a new sound card containing either MIDI1 or MIDI2 device,
1070 depending on the USB audio driver configuration.
1071 
1072 On both, when ALSA sequencer is enabled on the host, you can find the
1073 UMP MIDI client such as "MIDI 2.0 Gadget".
1074 
1075 As the driver simply loops back the data, there is no need for a real
1076 device just for testing.
1077 
1078 For testing a MIDI input from the gadget to the host (e.g. emulating a
1079 MIDI keyboard), you can send a MIDI stream like the following.
1080 
1081 On the gadget::
1082 
1083   $ aconnect -o
1084   ....
1085   client 20: 'MIDI 2.0 Gadget' [type=kernel,card=1]
1086       0 'MIDI 2.0        '
1087       1 'Group 1 (MIDI 2.0 Gadget I/O)'
1088   $ aplaymidi -p 20:1 to_host.mid
1089 
1090 On the host::
1091 
1092   $ aconnect -i
1093   ....
1094   client 24: 'MIDI 2.0 Gadget' [type=kernel,card=2]
1095       0 'MIDI 2.0        '
1096       1 'Group 1 (MIDI 2.0 Gadget I/O)'
1097   $ arecordmidi -p 24:1 from_gadget.mid
1098 
1099 If you have a UMP-capable application, you can use the UMP port to
1100 send/receive the raw UMP packets, too. For example, aseqdump program
1101 with UMP support can receive from UMP port. On the host::
1102 
1103   $ aseqdump -u 2 -p 24:1
1104   Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end.
1105   Source  Group    Event                  Ch  Data
1106    24:1   Group  0, Program change          0, program 0, Bank select 0:0
1107    24:1   Group  0, Channel pressure        0, value 0x80000000
1108 
1109 For testing a MIDI output to the gadget to the host (e.g. emulating a
1110 MIDI synth), it'll be just other way round.
1111 
1112 On the gadget::
1113 
1114   $ arecordmidi -p 20:1 from_host.mid
1115 
1116 On the host::
1117 
1118   $ aplaymidi -p 24:1 to_gadget.mid
1119 
1120 The access to MIDI 1.0 on altset 0 on the host is supported, and it's
1121 translated from/to UMP packets on the gadget. It's bound to only
1122 Function Block 0.
1123 
1124 The current operation mode can be observed in ALSA control element
1125 "Operation Mode" for SND_CTL_IFACE_RAWMIDI.  For example::
1126 
1127   $ amixer -c1 contents
1128   numid=1,iface=RAWMIDI,name='Operation Mode'
1129     ; type=INTEGER,access=r--v----,values=1,min=0,max=2,step=0
1130     : values=2
1131 
1132 where 0 = unused, 1 = MIDI 1.0 (altset 0), 2 = MIDI 2.0 (altset 1).
1133 The example above shows it's running in 2, i.e. MIDI 2.0.
