Hy I'am working with a intel pxa-270 (embedded System) and the linux kernel 2.6.16. In my project we intent to work with a USB connection as a client. For easy handling we thought about using the USB Gadget Framework specially with the serial driver of that framework. The document "Linux-USB Gadget API Framework" mentioned "there's no serial console support at this time" (dated 8 June 2005).
My Question is, have there any further work been done until now? Is there an ongoing project about USB serial gadget? An other point of interests is, whether i understand the basic concepts of this framework. During my readings i gain the impression that there are three layers: - Peripheral Controller Drivers hardware dependend (and for the hole gadget framework usable) - Gadget Driver the gadget framework itself, with various interfaces - Upper Layers the specific service (hardware independent) i.e mass storage, serial console According this concept it would only be necessary to implement the "Peripheral Controller Driver" once, so for the serial console support a generic one would be suitable for any hardware. I know that pengutronix is working on a hardware driver like this and for further questions i'll ask on the appropriate mailing list. But for now i try to get a overview of this topic. Thanks for any reply Aurel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
