Hi, I used the g_file_storage gadget to implement an ActiveSync-like capability between a 2.6.18-based gumstix board (USB client) and an XP host. When the two are connected, the gumstix looks to the XP host like a "Mass Storage Device" and it automatically appears on the XP host under the category of "Devices with Removable Storage." Users can then interact with gumstix as though it were a flash drive -- dragging and dropping files to/from the gumstix board.
Unfortunately this capability does not work on Windows Vista. When the gumstix is plugged into a Vista host, the Vista status screen indicates "USB Mass Storage Device ... Ready to Use" and then shortly later "Linux File-Stor Gadget USB Device ... Searching preconfigured driver folders ..." But after a lengthy search period (2-3 minutes) the status screen disappeared and the gumstix device was nowhere to be found in the "My Computer" folder. I opened the Device Manager on Vista and saw that an object labeled simply "Disk drive" was added/removed in the "Disk drives" folder each time I plugged/unplugged the gumstix. The drive does not show up in the "My Computer" display nor is it assigned a drive number, so it is not addressable. Does anyone know if there is g_file_storage work in progress to support Windows Vista, or can someone suggest a workaround to the current problem?
