How to use USB composite device?

[felixhsu]

Hi All

Platform: i.MX6ULL

Software: Linux_4.9.11

The customer want to use USB composite device, one for HID and one for mass storage.

would you provide how to configuration USB driver for composite device?

Thanks.

Hi，

You doesn't need to re-configure USB driver.  There are two USB port on i.mx6ulL evk board, one is USB OTG with microUSB connector, the other is USB Host.  For HID device, customer can connect it to USB host; for Mass storage, customer can use a USB OTG to HOST cable to connect microUSB connector, and the other side of the cable is used to connect mass storage, such as moble disk or U disk.

Hope this can do help for you.
Have a great day,
Rita

Hi,

You can not modprobe two independent gadget drivers. For this, you need to use a composite driver that registers both functions. You can do this in two ways:

1.  To use a single legacy composite driver (actually you are already using the legacy drivers on your tests), this is, you need to create a custom kernel module instead of using g_mass_storage and g_hid separately. See drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/acm_ms.c for an example. 

2. You can configure the composite driver from userspace using configfs:

Hi All

I have the same issue, too.

I found some article but still not solve the issue. I have trawled through many articles with no luck.

1. https://community.nxp.com/thread/318511

2. https://community.nxp.com/thread/481706 

I post it.

g_multi.ko needs driver. Windows shows up as an unknow device "Multifunction Composite Gadget".  I need a HID and a mass storage.

HID is work OK. But mass storage is still not work at all. log as below:
