USB Composite Gadget Framework

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Hi all,

Let's take a look at the brand new, yet-to-be-merged USB Composite Gadget Framework.

The framework was introduced by Linux USB Developer David Brownell and, thanks to his great work, we're gonna be able to reuse what we now call usb function drivers into another entities, combining them to create a usb composite gadget.

Quoting Dave himself:

We want to split most of the current gadget drivers into reusable/combinable "usb_function" entities, making it easier to set up composite and multi-configuration gadgets.

(more...)

Musb driver is going to mainline

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Hello all,

Finally musb/tusb driver is going to mainline :-)

We still have a few stuff to fix and I'm taking care of that but we're planning to push it to release 2.6.26 :-) . From the day musb gets merged to mainline, the main development of it will be moved from linux-omap to linux-usb mailing list, which will allow more usb gurus to review the patches.

Most likely the driver will get more and more improvements.

Again,

Thanks to everybody that have been helping musb so far. Here's a git shortlog of those who have been helping us:

1 Alan Stern
2 Anand Gadiyar
2 Andrzej Zaborowski
4 Bryan Wu
51 David Brownell
5 Dirk Behme
28 Felipe Balbi
2 Hunyue Yau
7 Kevin Hilman
182 Tony Lindgren
3 Vikram Pandita

Please follow this thread in linux-usb mailing list for more details.
