README
usb-gadget
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)
- printer device
- musical instrument digital interface (MIDI)
- audio device (UAC2)
- video device (UVC)
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_GADGETCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFSCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_SERIALCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_ACMCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_NCMCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_ECMCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_ECM_SUBSETCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_RNDISCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_EEMCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_MASS_STORAGECONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_FSCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_HIDCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_PRINTERCONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MIDICONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_UAC2CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_UVC
root permissions are required to configure USB gadgets on Linux and
the configfs filesystem needs to be mounted.
