Poulsbo USB Client Status
Drivers reached alpha release. In both Linux and Windows host system, one mass storage device or one Ethernet device can be seen when USBC drivers are loaded. They're running in full speed mode since Poulsbo B0 has some hardware issues around high speed. Utility has some issues under debugging which blocked its alpha release with drivers together. Its alpha build is supposed in ww38.

USB client status update
Poulsbo USB-C as mass storage device and Ethernet device with Linux host basically work in full speed mode. The root cause of RNDIS gadget driver error was identified. Finished part of workaround in controller driver and suppose to make it work by next week. Continue to develop utility with more than 60% codes finished.

Is it acceptable by Ubuntu? A patch is fine for the kernel. For the utility, a source package would be ideal, but we can add the packaging if necessary. [Henry] Thanks.

RE: USB Client Blueprint
The blueprint is updated. You understanding is mostly correct. One patch to makefile is also provided. For your questions: 1. The targeted host system for Host side utility is Red Hat FC6, Ubuntu MID distro and Red Flag MID distro. 2. I am not clear about Gutsy repository. 3. The hardware offers the capability. But currently we don't implement it in SW. The host utility will notify client utility to switch from mass storage device to Ethernet device through one hacked SCSI command. Regards, Henry From: Lynch, Rusty Sent: 2007年8月4日 0:14 To: Yuan, Hang Cc: ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: RE: USB Client Blueprint Ok, now we are getting somewhere. I still have some clarifying questions, but in general the below email is much more clear on what you really intend to do. Please add this level of information to the blueprint. Just to be sure I understand correctly, you will: * Provide a new peripheral controller kernel driver * Provide a patch to the CDC Ethernet gadget kernel driver * Provide a patch to the file-backed storage gadget kernel driver * Make a sample suite of both client and host applications available that use the above kernel components to create a specific solution. This solution will include a client side application that will allow the user to select which folder to share, and then use this information to setup a network share drive. The solution will also include a host side utility that will be presented to the host system via the mass storage device. If this host application were run by the host then the host will setup the network over USB connection and mount the shared drive that the client side utility recently made available. No my questions: * What operating systems will the host side utility work on? * Will all components of the sample suite be pushed into the Gutsy repository? * Can the hardware offer both a mass storage device and an Ethernet device at the same time? If not then how do you plan on working around this complication to implement the sample solution? I look forward to your reply, but don’t let this info just stay in this thread. Update the blueprint. --rusty From: Yuan, Hang Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 6:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Johnson, Charles F Subject: RE: USB Client Blueprint 1. Peripheral controller driver is a new kernel driver. 2, 3. CDC Ethernet and File-backed storage are patchs to existing kernel gadget files. 4. Linux utility includes 3 applications. The first one is client utilty. It runs in MID and provides options for user to select shared folder. The second one is host utility. It runs in USB host system and mounts the shared folder in MID. The third one is host installer. It installs the host utility to host system from MID. The host utility and host installer are saved in MID first. Mass storage gadget is first used to copy host utility from MID to host system. Then CDC-EEM/RNDIS gadget is used to set up network connection for file sharing. We are providing kernel driver and patchs. The utility is a sample to demonstrate how to use the USB client driver and a reference for further development as well.

Peripheral Controller Driver: This is the kernel driver I expected 2. CDC Ethernet: Doesn’t this exist in the kernel already? 3. File-backed storage: Doesn’t this exist in the kernel already? 4. Linux utility: What’s this? I suspect that the two gadget drivers were colored blue (signifying from the diagram key that they are software components that need to be developed) on accident, but my real concern is the item labeled “Linux utility”. The reason for my concern is that I can interpret the blueprint in two ways (given the extremely sparse text explainations.) One interpretation basically says: We are providing the kernel drivers needed so that it is possible to make a Poulsbo based MID running UME either look like a USB mass storage device, or like an Ethernet device, but that’s all we are doing. All the rest of the job is left as an exercise to the person/organization building a specific solution. In other words if you install a stock UME image on a Poulsbo based mobile internet device, and then plug it into a PC’s USB port, then nothing will happen. Another interpretation basically says: We are providing the kernel drivers needed so that it is possible to make a Poulsbo based MID running UME either look like a USB mass
