imx6 as usb device -> usb_mass_storage + usb_webcam possible?

gbiradar — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 05:39:11 GMT

Hi Guys,

I plan to use my imx6 custom board as device mode, imx6 board will act as mass storage and webcam.

one single USB port + kernel 3.14.

I have used legacy drivers,

# modprobe g_mass_storage file=/dev/mmcblk0p2 stall=0

It worked i'm able to see my partition in PC. But if i try to load g_webcam. It failed. after some searching i understood that i can't use both driver parallel. only one at a time. But in end product i can't allow every time these.

so i need a way in which i can access mass storage as well as webcam not parallely. but autoprobing should be available.

what are the ways i can achieve my task.

While more searching i came across configfs. but i don't know about much. how it differentiate mass storage and webcam.

any input?

Hi Ganesh

seems it could be impelemented using usb composite driver (currently

not supported in nxp bsps), for description please refer to

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_multi.txt

Linux-USB Gadget API Framework

Hi Ganesh

you can try to develop own custom composite driver.
