SK-AM62A-LP: USB Function on two ports at the same time?

Part Number: SK-AM62A-LP

Tool/software:

Hi experts,

Can TI's Linux SDK support USB Function on two ports at the same time?
(Function: USB Host or Function)

Generally, I understand that USB Function cannot be used on two ports on Linux due to limitations of the USB gadget driver.

Best regards,
O.H

    Are you asking if both USB ports can support USB device function at the same time? Yes.

    Generally, I understand that USB Function cannot be used on two ports on Linux due to limitations of the USB gadget driver.

    The accurate statement is that the same Linux legacy USB gadget driver cannot be used on two USB ports. However, the Linux USB gadget configfs can create two different USB gadgets using the same USB gadget function, which can be used on two USB ports. This makes the two USB ports work in the same USB gadget function.

  • Bin:   I hope the user does not mean both USB  host and device - but with respect to USB gadget devices I agree with you.
