In the medium-to-long run, we should aim at going to Plug-Fest.
Of course, there'll be lots of devices that don't have linux
drivers, and so they'll fail, but I think it'd be a great way to
show that linux USB support is here. It's also a great way to
test a lot of connect/disconnects with different devices.
Of course, the first time or two it would be more of a novelty
than a real compatibility test. We would let the usual stream of
devices connect, and we'd see if they enumerate OK. I think a lot
of people will be surprised to see a non-MS host system.
With luck, after a few times, companies will recognize that here
is another OS that they need to consider in their software
developement.
Hosts are supposed to have a suite at Plug-Fest. Our company
usually reserves a suite when Plug-Fest is in Milpitas. I'd like
to propose that we (NetChip) can provide a "home" for a linux box
in our suite.
Since we are a small company, we can't provide the actual support
for this. We'd need a volunteer or two to get the system set up
and ready to go. That person needs to spend the two or three days
with us in the suite to handle whatever issues might arise.
So, what do all you think? Would this be a "good thing"? Are
there any volunteers?
Regards,
reid
