Prerequisites
-------------
Versions of the gadget serial driver are available for the
2.4 Linux kernels, but this document assumes you are using
version 2.0 or later of the gadget serial driver in a 2.6
Linux kernel.
This document assumes that you are familiar with Linux and
Windows and know how to configure and build Linux kernels, run
standard utilities, use minicom and HyperTerminal, and work with
USB and serial devices. It also assumes you configure the Linux
gadget and usb drivers as modules.
Overview
--------
The gadget serial driver is a Linux USB gadget driver, a USB device
side driver. It runs on a Linux system that has USB device side
hardware; for example, a PDA, an embedded Linux system, or a PC
with a USB development card.
The gadget serial driver talks over USB to either a CDC ACM driver
or a generic USB serial driver running on a host PC.
Host
--------------------------------------
| Host-Side CDC ACM USB Host |
| Operating | or | Controller | USB
| System | Generic USB | Driver |--------
| (Linux or | Serial | and | |
| Windows) Driver USB Stack | |
-------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Gadget |
-------------------------------------- |
| Gadget USB Periph. | |
| Device-Side | Gadget | Controller | |
| Linux | Serial | Driver |--------
| Operating | Driver | and |
| System USB Stack |
--------------------------------------
On the device-side Linux system, the gadget serial driver looks
like a serial device.
On the host-side system, the gadget serial device looks like a
CDC ACM compliant class device or a simple vendor specific device
with bulk in and bulk out endpoints, and it is treated similarly
to other serial devices.
The host side driver can potentially be any ACM compliant driver
or any driver that can talk to a device with a simple bulk in/out
interface. Gadget serial has been tested with the Linux ACM driver,
the Windows usbser.sys ACM driver, and the Linux USB generic serial
driver.
With the gadget serial driver and the host side ACM or generic
serial driver running, you should be able to communicate between
the host and the gadget side systems as if they were connected by a
serial cable.
The gadget serial driver only provides simple unreliable data
communication. It does not yet handle flow control or many other
features of normal serial devices.
Installing the Gadget Serial Driver
-----------------------------------
To use the gadget serial driver you must configure the Linux gadget
side kernel for "Support for USB Gadgets", for a "USB Peripheral
Controller" (for example, net2280), and for the "Serial Gadget"
driver. All this are listed under "USB Gadget Support" when
configuring the kernel. Then rebuild and install the kernel or
modules.
The gadget serial driver uses major number 127, for now. So you
will need to create a device node for it, like this:
mknod /dev/ttygserial c 127 0
You only need to do this once.
Then you must load the gadget serial driver. To load it as an
ACM device, do this:
modprobe g_serial use_acm=1
To load it as a vendor specific bulk in/out device, do this:
modprobe g_serial
This will also automatically load the underlying gadget peripheral
controller driver. This must be done each time you reboot the gadget
side Linux system. You can add this to the start up scripts, if
desired.
If gadget serial is loaded as an ACM device you will want to use
either the Windows or Linux ACM driver on the host side. If gadget
serial is loaded as a bulk in/out device, you will want to use the
Linux generic serial driver on the host side. Follow the appropriate
instructions below to install the host side driver.
Installing the Windows Host ACM Driver
--------------------------------------
To use the Windows ACM driver you must have the files "gserial.inf"
and "usbser.sys" together in a folder on the Windows machine.
The "gserial.inf" file is given here.

-------------------- CUT HERE --------------------
The "usbser.sys" file comes with various versions of Windows.
For example, it can be found on Windows XP typically in
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab
Or it can be found on the Windows 98SE CD in the "win98" folder
in the "DRIVER11.CAB" through "DRIVER20.CAB" cab files. You will
need the DOS "expand" program, the Cygwin "cabextract" program, or
a similar program to unpack these cab files and extract "usbser.sys".
For example, to extract "usbser.sys" into the current directory
on Windows XP, open a DOS window and run a command like
expand C:\WINDOWS\Driver~1\i386\driver.cab -F:usbser.sys .
(Thanks to Nishant Kamat for pointing out this DOS command.)
When the gadget serial driver is loaded and the USB device connected
to the Windows host with a USB cable, Windows should recognize the
gadget serial device and ask for a driver. Tell Windows to find the
driver in the folder that contains "gserial.inf" and "usbser.sys".
For example, on Windows XP, when the gadget serial device is first
plugged in, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" starts up. Select
"Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)", then on
the next screen select "Include this location in the search" and
enter the path or browse to the folder containing "gserial.inf" and
"usbser.sys". Windows will complain that the Gadget Serial driver
has not passed Windows Logo testing, but select "Continue anyway"
and finish the driver installation.
On Windows XP, in the "Device Manager" (under "Control Panel",
"System", "Hardware") expand the "Ports (COM & LPT)" entry and you
should see "Gadget Serial" listed as the driver for one of the COM
ports.
To uninstall the Windows XP driver for "Gadget Serial", right click
on the "Gadget Serial" entry in the "Device Manager" and select
"Uninstall".
Installing the Linux Host ACM Driver
------------------------------------
To use the Linux ACM driver you must configure the Linux host side
kernel for "Support for Host-side USB" and for "USB Modem (CDC ACM)
support".
Once the gadget serial driver is loaded and the USB device connected
to the Linux host with a USB cable, the host system should recognize
the gadget serial device. For example, the command
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
should show something like this:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 5 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0525 ProdID=a4a7 Rev= 2.01
S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.8.1 with net2280
S: Product=Gadget Serial
S: SerialNumber=0
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 2 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=02 Prot=01 Driver=acm
E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=32ms
I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=acm
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
If the host side Linux system is configured properly, the ACM driver
should be loaded automatically. The command "lsmod" should show the
"acm" module is loaded.
Installing the Linux Host Generic USB Serial Driver
---------------------------------------------------
To use the Linux generic USB serial driver you must configure the
Linux host side kernel for "Support for Host-side USB", for "USB
Serial Converter support", and for the "USB Generic Serial Driver".
Once the gadget serial driver is loaded and the USB device connected
to the Linux host with a USB cable, the host system should recognize
the gadget serial device. For example, the command
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
should show something like this:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 6 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0525 ProdID=a4a6 Rev= 2.01
S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.8.1 with net2280
S: Product=Gadget Serial
S: SerialNumber=0
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=serial
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
You must explicitly load the usbserial driver with parameters to
configure it to recognize the gadget serial device, like this:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0525 product=0xA4A6
If everything is working, usbserial will print a message in the
system log saying something like "Gadget Serial converter now
attached to ttyUSB0".
Testing with Minicom or HyperTerminal
-------------------------------------
Once the gadget serial driver and the host driver are both installed,
and a USB cable connects the gadget device to the host, you should
be able to communicate over USB between the gadget and host systems.
You can use minicom or HyperTerminal to try this out.
On the gadget side run "minicom -s" to configure a new minicom
session. Under "Serial port setup" set "/dev/ttygserial" as the
"Serial Device". Set baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits,
to 9600, 8, none, and 1--these settings mostly do not matter.
Under "Modem and dialing" erase all the modem and dialing strings.
On a Linux host running the ACM driver, configure minicom similarly
but use "/dev/ttyACM0" as the "Serial Device". (If you have other
ACM devices connected, change the device name appropriately.)
On a Linux host running the USB generic serial driver, configure
minicom similarly, but use "/dev/ttyUSB0" as the "Serial Device".
(If you have other USB serial devices connected, change the device
name appropriately.)
On a Windows host configure a new HyperTerminal session to use the
COM port assigned to Gadget Serial. The "Port Settings" will be
set automatically when HyperTerminal connects to the gadget serial
device, so you can leave them set to the default values--these
settings mostly do not matter.
With minicom configured and running on the gadget side and with
minicom or HyperTerminal configured and running on the host side,
you should be able to send data back and forth between the gadget
side and host side systems. Anything you type on the terminal
window on the gadget side should appear in the terminal window on
the host side and vice versa.
