20 USB is a master/slave protocol, organized with one master
21 host (such as a PC) controlling up to 127 peripheral devices.
22 The USB hardware is asymmetric, which makes it easier to set up:
23 you can't connect a "to-the-host" connector to a peripheral.
24
25 Linux can run in the host, or in the peripheral. In both cases
26 you need a low level bus controller driver, and some software
27 talking to it. Peripheral controllers are often discrete silicon,
28 or are integrated with the CPU in a microcontroller. The more
29 familiar host side controllers have names like "EHCI", "OHCI",
30 or "UHCI", and are usually integrated into southbridges on PC
31 motherboards.
32
33 Enable this configuration option if you want to run Linux inside
34 a USB peripheral device. Configure one hardware driver for your
35 peripheral/device side bus controller, and a "gadget driver" for
36 your peripheral protocol. (If you use modular gadget drivers,
37 you may configure more than one.)
38
39 If in doubt, say "N" and don't enable these drivers; most people
40 don't have this kind of hardware (except maybe inside Linux PDAs).
41
42 For more information, see <http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget> and
43 the kernel DocBook documentation for this API.

53
54 Avoid enabling these messages, even if you're actively
55 debugging such a driver. Many drivers will emit so many

101 help
102 Some devices need to draw power from USB when they are
103 configured, perhaps to operate circuitry or to recharge
104 batteries. This is in addition to any local power supply,
105 such as an AC adapter or batteries.
106
107 Enter the maximum power your device draws through USB, in
108 milliAmperes. The permitted range of values is 2 - 500 mA;
109 0 mA would be legal, but can make some hosts misbehave.

112 drivers that have more specific information.

118 help
119 Usually 2 buffers are enough to establish a good buffering
120 pipeline. The number may be increased in order to compensate
121 for a bursty VFS behaviour. For instance there may be CPU wake up
122 latencies that makes the VFS to appear bursty in a system with
123 an CPU on-demand governor. Especially if DMA is doing IO to
124 offload the CPU. In this case the CPU will go into power
125 save often and spin up occasionally to move data within VFS.
126 If selecting USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES this value may be set by
127 a module parameter as well.
128 If unsure, say 2.

196 help
197 A Linux "Gadget Driver" talks to the USB Peripheral Controller
198 driver through the abstract "gadget" API. Some other operating
199 systems call these "client" drivers, of which "class drivers"
200 are a subset (implementing a USB device class specification).
201 A gadget driver implements one or more USB functions using
202 the peripheral hardware.
203
204 Gadget drivers are hardware-neutral, or "platform independent",
205 except that they sometimes must understand quirks or limitations
206 of the particular controllers they work with. For example, when
207 a controller doesn't support alternate configurations or provide
208 enough of the right types of endpoints, the gadget driver might
209 not be able work with that controller, or might need to implement
210 a less common variant of a device class protocol.
