No it wouldn't, because there is no peripheral controller hardware that can control multiple gadgets! > I realize this doesn't exist in the Linux 2.6 gadget > framework (only one gadget driver can be registered). > Is multiple gadget support in the plans for future > Linux kernels? Perhaps you are thinking of a _composite_ gadget. This is a single gadget that has different functions associated with different interfaces. For instance, there are USB disk drives with a pushbutton (I don't remember what the button is supposed to do). The drive itself is reported as a Mass Storage device on one interface and the button is reported as a Human Interface Device on a separate interface. But they are both part of the same device. There's no reason why the Gadget API can't support composite gadgets. But nobody has written the code to do it, and as far as I know, nobody is planning to.
