Re: [Armadeus-forum] USB Link

[Nicolas C. <nic...@ar...>]

Hi Phil,

sorry for this late reply.
The easiest way is effectively to use an USB gadget.
The USB ethernet gadget and USB series gadget drivers are now available
for the APF27 (http://www.armadeus.com/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Gadget).
One patch is still missing and will be commited this week.
Once the gadget mounted you can use the corresponding ethx or ttysx
interfaces as usual.

It doesn't matter to me whether the apf27 or the Ubuntu machine is the USB host.  Ideally I'd like to find a working example that I can start with and modify since I've never written a USB driver before.

However, that page says that the apf27 doesn't have the right baseboard connector and that the drivers aren't integrated.  Does this mean that the apf27-apf27dev hardware cannot act as a USB gadget ever?  What would I need to do to get these examples working?
