This library allows implementation of USB peripherals, so called USB gadgets, on Linux devices that have a USB device controller (UDC). Both, pre-defined USB functions and fully custom implementations of the USB interface are supported.

The following pre-defined USB functions, implemented by kernel drivers, are available:

  • network interface
    • CDC ECM
    • CDC ECM (subset)
    • CDC EEM
    • CDC NCM
    • RNDIS
  • serial port
    • CDC ACM
    • generic
  • human interface device (HID)
  • mass-storage device (MSD)

In addition fully custom USB functions can be implemented in user-mode Rust code.

Support for OS-specific descriptors and WebUSB is also provided.

Features

This crate provides the following optional features:

  • tokio: enables async support for custom USB functions on top of the Tokio runtime.

Requirements

The minimum support Rust version (MSRV) is 1.73.

A USB device controller (UDC) supported by Linux is required. Normally, standard PCs do not include an UDC. A Raspberry Pi 4 contains an UDC, which is connected to its USB-C port.

The following Linux kernel configuration options should be enabled for full functionality:

  • CONFIG_USB_GADGET
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_SERIAL
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_ACM
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_NCM
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_ECM
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_ECM_SUBSET
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_RNDIS
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_EEM
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_MASS_STORAGE
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_FS
  • CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_HID

root permissions are required to configure USB gadgets on Linux and the configfs filesystem needs to be mounted.
