omap_udc.c g_hid.c hid gadget on beagleboard with

Question

To use the beagleboard xm as an HID peripheral I plan to do the following:

1. Discover how to build things with angstrom.
2. Get the kernel source 2.6.32.
3. Compile omap_udc and g_hid
4. Insert those modules into the kernel
5. Compile the example from gadget_hid.txt
6. Send keyboard commands with hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard

Is that a good way to do what I want?

http://www.edaboard.com/thread145675.html is a somewhat related issue from '09.

Looking for Example Embedded Linux HID Device Code is very similar.

Answer 1

I figured I would post this here because I looked and looked for an answer but to no avail so I had to get creative.

First Go here and get the Kernel http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone

Second in The KERNEL/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-am335xevm.c

Add:

enter code here
#include <linux/usb/g_hid.h>

/* hid descriptor for a keyboard */
static struct hidg_func_descriptor my_hid_data = {
.subclass       = 0, /* No subclass */
.protocol       = 1, /* Keyboard */

.report_desc_length = 63,
.report_desc        = {

} 

In the:

static void __init am335x_evm_init(void)

}

Build the kernel following the Guide from earlier In the makemenu config section of the kernel build go to the device drivers->usb support-> USB Gadget Support-> USB Gadget Drivers -> Compile HID Gadget as Module ( you may have to hunt for it but it's around this section in a couple more sub menus)

Take the sample code section from the kernel documentation or this page http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt

Compile with GCC

insmod the g_hid.ko driver and then run the compiled sample code
