OMAP L138 running linux in USB gadget mode

Hi,

I'm trying to use an LCDK with corresponding Linux SDK 1.0 as a USB gadget. I want to use gadget FS. Unfortunately it doesn't work :(

In every documentation it is stressed to activate the Inventra Highspeed Dual Role Controller (TI, ...) . The corresponding menu element in make menuconfig only appears if I activate the Host-side Mode, too.

If I do not activate Host-side USB the available USB peripheral controllers do not include the inventra (only Faraday FUSB300, Renesas R8A66598 and M66593 and PLX NET2272).

Which controller should I choose or do I have to include support for host-side usb?

  • Hello,

    It sounds as though you may want to include support for host-side USB as well.  I am familiar with the Renesas USB devices you mentioned (having worked at Renesas prior) and understand the newer R8A66598 is actually a dual-mode (Host and Peripheral) controller.  The older M66593 may ony be a single-mode Peripheral controller, if I recall.

    Regardless, you probably have flexibility in terms of specifically which USB controller manufacturer you choose (albeit with the corresponding Linux drivers available) while you likely may want to include support for Host-Side USB as well.

    Regards,
