I tried the directions here to unbind the usbfs driver from my scanner. Furthermore, I still can't open the scanner from inside vmware, so it appears that the unbind didn't completely "take.
Now it's saying Device Binded. I searched it and this site came up. This is a bi-directional communication channel between the host and the device used for enumerating and then controlling the device - remember, the USB is a host centric bus. So even if a device has some new data to be sent to the host it is the host that actually asks for data and the communication required to arrange this happens on the endpoint 0.
All other types of endpoints are uni-directional. Bulk endpoints are meant for tansferring potentially large amounts of data on a "best effort" basis, that is, as available bandwith allows, so there are no timing guarantees for bulk data. On the other hand bulk data is guaranteed to be transmitted error-free perhaps using re-transmission under the hood. Iso chronous endpoints are meant for time-sensitive data such as audio or video with guaranteed bandwitdh and bounded latency. Neither data delivery nor integrity is guarenteed, though, and it is on purpose: in multimedia transmission much more harm is done by non-timely data delivery rather than by occasional non-integrity or even loss of a frame.
Interrupt endpoints are for non-periodic data transfers "initiated" by the device such as mouse movements or keystrokes and have guaranteed latency. The "initiation" by the device is in fact queuing the data on an endpoint, and then the host polls it when it considers appropriate. In USB it's a host's world. Get used to it or quit using USB.
Why am I telling you this? You need to know that each USB function requires its own set of endpoints, which must not be used at the same time by any other function.
This makes UDC's endpoints a scarce resource and imposes a limit on a number of functions which can be provided by your gadget at a time in one configuration, but you can "overcommit" by specifying multiple configurations - you still remember, that only one of them can be active at a time?
If you want to roll your own USB function, you need to know how many and what kind of endpoints you need, and, especially if you want to compose it with other functions, whether the number of available endpoints is not exceeded. Modern UDCs usually do provide enough endpoints to compose moderately "endpoint-hungry" functions into one configuration without any problems.
Now that you know about endpoints, you can learn more about FunctionFS. From the point of view of the gadget it is yet another USB function available for composing a gadget from. But it is special, because each instance of FunctionFS provides an instance of a 'functionfs' filesystem to be mounted. If you mount it you will notice there is only one entry: ep0.
Its name suggests it is associated with endpoint 0. Indeed it is. However, the good news is that you don't need to implement all the endpoint 0 handling, because most of that is already taken care of for you by the composite layer. You only need to handle control requests directed at your particular USB function. FunctionFS is not considered ready for binding until endpoint descriptors and strings are written to ep0. The gadget as a whole is not ready for binding if any of its functions is not ready.
Actually I'm using its modified and simplified version, which passes to the host whatever the host writes to it. We will get to its code later in this post. Compared to the previous scenario there are more steps involved before the gadget becomes operational:. It turns out that systemd already has means to automate writing the descriptors and strings to FunctionFS, and starting a userspace daemon!
However, the remaining steps need to be taken care of. It describes a minimal gadget with FunctionFS, leaving some attributes at their default values:. One important thing to note is that the instance name here: "loopback" becomes a "device" name to be used when mounting this FunctionFS instance.
Let's call our example service unit usb-gadget-ffs. This unit is almost identical to the usb-gadget. The difference is that we tell gt to only -o load gadget's composition but not bind it, which would fail anyway because the FunctionFS instance is not ready yet.
Another difference is that the Type cannot be "simple" this time, because we need systemd not to schedule loading of dependent modules until gadget scheme is fully loaded - and, consequently, FunctionFS instance registered and made available for mounting.
Units of type "simple" are considered completely run immediately, so we need to change to:. This change ensures that the dependent modules will be started only after full completion of the gt command. We can use a mount unit to automatically mount our FunctionFS instance. The above two units are enough to load our gadget composition into memory at UDC's appearance and mount its accompanied FunctionFS instance.
Such a socket unit must be pointed at an already mounted FunctionFS instance. It also contains a Service entry pointing to the service unit associated with this unit and such a socket unit must have its associated service unit.
The two specify locations of files containing binary blobs representing USB descriptors and strings, respectively.
The service unit's job is then to write those to ep0 of the corresponding FunctionFS instance. And it is exactly the job of the socket unit to make it work. The daemon binary is specified with the usual ExecStart entry in the service unit. A question you likely ask yourself is where to get the. It is up to you how you create these blobs. Please note that the descriptors are created only in the unmodified version of ffs-test.
As promised, we will get to the modified version later in this post. If the functionfs. Your gadget is now composed and activated with systemd. No, you can't.
