Greg mentioned a USB gadget serial device a few days ago and it piqued my interest.
I am finishing a gadget and host driver that provides Unix style pipes between a host and device over USB 2.0/1.1. Not sure if the company I am contracting with will be willing to release it GPL or not (my guess is not). However, I could take the experience and write a gadget driver that looks like a known serial device, or write both host and gadget side drivers. What serial device did you want to emulate? Do you have a spec for the protocol? Or were you thinking of both a host and gadget driver? One question--why not use CDCEther and g_ether? They are already written and give you all the features of TCP/IP--better than just a serial port. -- Al > From: David Brownell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Joshua Wise wrote: >> >> I'm working on porting Linux to the iPAQ h1910, and I need a way to get data >> to the h1910, as it has no serial.
