Hi Gokul,

Do you mean to use AM62A7 USB port as an RNDIS ethernet port?

Hi Gokul,

- Your AM62A7 platform has one USB port designed as a peripheral port;

- The dr_mode in kernel device tree for this USB port is set to "peripheral";

- Your kernel config has enabled USB gadget drivers including RNDIS/Ethernet gadget (this is enabled by default in the Processor SDK Linux);

- Boot Linux on your platform, run command 'modprobe g_ether' to load the USB RNDIS/Ethernet gadget driver;

- connect the AM62A7 USB port to WIndows PC, the PC should detect the RNDIS device. Assigning IP address to the RNDIS interfaces on both AM62A7 and Windows PC, now you can start network communication.

Hi Gokul,

This is a driver for AM62A7 USB host mode. You don't need this driver when AM62A7 USB is in device mode and it will be connected to a Windows PC.
