202
203After creating the directory there is a new instance (a "device") of FunctionFS
204available in the system. Once a "device" is available, the user should follow
205the standard procedure for using FunctionFS (mount it, run the userspace
206process which implements the function proper). The gadget should be enabled
207by writing a suitable string to usb_gadget/<gadget>/UDC.

cdbe287d
AP
315
316Lun numbering does not have to be continuous, except for lun #0 which is
317created by default. A maximum of 8 luns can be specified and they all must be
318named following the <name>.<number> scheme. The numbers can be 0..8.
319Probably a good convention is to name the luns "lun.<number>",
320although it is not mandatory.
321
322In each lun directory there are the following attribute files:
323
d80b5005
MCC

325 file The path to the backing file for the LUN.
cdbe287d 326 Required if LUN is not marked as removable.

337 forced_eject This write-only file is useful only when
338 the function is active. It causes the backing
339 file to be forcibly detached from the LUN,
340 regardless of whether the host has allowed it.
341 Any non-zero number of bytes written will
342 result in ejection.

532It is not possible to test the SOCK_STREAM protocol without a specific piece
533of hardware, so only SOCK_DGRAM has been tested. For the latter to work,
534in the past I had to apply the patch mentioned here:
535
536http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85689.html
537
538These tools are required:
539

541
d80b5005 542On the host::

MCC
544 $ ./phonet -a 0x10 -i usbpn0
545 $ ./pnroute add 0x6c usbpn0
546 $./pnroute add 0x10 usbpn0
547 $ ifconfig usbpn0 up

d80b5005 549On the device::

d80b5005

551 $ ./phonet -a 0x6c -i upnlink0
552 $ ./pnroute add 0x10 upnlink0
553 $ ifconfig upnlink0 up
da2907d2 554
d80b5005 555Then a test program can be used::
da2907d2 556
d80b5005 557 http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg85690.html
da2907d2 558

d80b5005 565 $ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -s 0x6c
da2907d2

566
567As a result some data should be sent from host to device.
568Then the other way round:
569
d80b5005 570On the host::
da2907d2 571
d80b5005 572 $ ./pnxmit -a 0x10 -r

601The ifname can be written to if the function is not bound. A write must be an
602interface pattern such as "usb%d", which will cause the net core to choose the
603next free usbX interface. By default, it is set to "usb%d".

973
974The function is provided by usb_f_midi2.ko module.
975It will create a virtual ALSA card containing a UMP rawmidi device
976where the UMP packet is looped back. In addition, a legacy rawmidi
977device is created. The UMP rawmidi is bound with ALSA sequencer
978clients, too.
979
980Function-specific configfs interface
981------------------------------------
982
983The function name to use when creating the function directory is "midi2".
984The midi2 function provides these attributes in its function directory
985as the card top-level information:
986
987 ============= =================================================
988 process_ump Bool flag to process UMP Stream messages (0 or 1)
989 static_block Bool flag for static blocks (0 or 1)
990 iface_name Optional interface name string
991 ============= =================================================
992
993The directory contains a subdirectory "ep.0", and this provides the
994attributes for a UMP Endpoint (which is a pair of USB MIDI Endpoints):
995
996 ============= =================================================
997 protocol_caps MIDI protocol capabilities;
998 1: MIDI 1.0, 2: MIDI 2.0, or 3: both protocols
999 protocol Default MIDI protocol (either 1 or 2)
1000 ep_name UMP Endpoint name string
1001 product_id Product ID string
1002 manufacturer Manufacture ID number (24 bit)
1003 family Device family ID number (16 bit)
1004 model Device model ID number (16 bit)
1005 sw_revision Software revision (32 bit)
1006 ============= =================================================
1007
1008Each Endpoint subdirectory contains a subdirectory "block.0", which
1009represents the Function Block for Block 0 information.
1010Its attributes are:
1011
1012 =============== ===============================================
1013 name Function Block name string
1014 direction Direction of this FB
1015 1: input, 2: output, or 3: bidirectional
1016 first_group The first UMP Group number (0-15)
1017 num_groups The number of groups in this FB (1-16)
1018 ui_hint UI-hint of this FB
1019 0: unknown, 1: receiver, 2: sender, 3: both
1020 midi_ci_verison Supported MIDI-CI version number (8 bit)
1021 is_midi1 Legacy MIDI 1.0 device (0-2)
1022 0: MIDI 2.0 device,
1023 1: MIDI 1.0 without restriction, or
1024 2: MIDI 1.0 with low speed
1025 sysex8_streams Max number of SysEx8 streams (8 bit)
1026 active Bool flag for FB activity (0 or 1)
1027 =============== ===============================================
1028
1029If multiple Function Blocks are required, you can add more Function
1030Blocks by creating subdirectories "block.<num>" with the corresponding
1031Function Block number (1, 2, ....). The FB subdirectories can be
1032dynamically removed, too. Note that the Function Block numbers must be
1033continuous.
1034
1035Similarly, if you multiple UMP Endpoints are required, you can add
1036more Endpoints by creating subdirectories "ep.<num>". The number must
1037be continuous.
1038
1039For emulating the old MIDI 2.0 device without UMP v1.1 support, pass 0
1040to `process_ump` flag. Then the whole UMP v1.1 requests are ignored.
1041
1042Testing the MIDI2 function

1044
1045On the device: run the gadget, and running::
1046
1047 $ cat /proc/asound/cards
1048
1049will show a new sound card containing a MIDI2 device.
1050
1051OTOH, on the host::
1052
1053 $ cat /proc/asound/cards
1054
1055will show a new sound card containing either MIDI1 or MIDI2 device,
1056depending on the USB audio driver configuration.
1057
1058On both, when ALSA sequencer is enabled on the host, you can find the
1059UMP MIDI client such as "MIDI 2.0 Gadget".
1060
1061As the driver simply loops back the data, there is no need for a real
1062device just for testing.
1063
1064For testing a MIDI input from the gadget to the host (e.g. emulating a
1065MIDI keyboard), you can send a MIDI stream like the following.
1066
1067On the gadget::
1068
1069 $ aconnect -o
1070 ....
1071 client 20: 'MIDI 2.0 Gadget' [type=kernel,card=1]
1072 0 'MIDI 2.0 '
1073 1 'Group 1 (MIDI 2.0 Gadget I/O)'
1074 $ aplaymidi -p 20:1 to_host.mid
1075
1076On the host::
1077
1078 $ aconnect -i
1079 ....
1080 client 24: 'MIDI 2.0 Gadget' [type=kernel,card=2]
1081 0 'MIDI 2.0 '
1082 1 'Group 1 (MIDI 2.0 Gadget I/O)'
1083 $ arecordmidi -p 24:1 from_gadget.mid
1084
1085If you have a UMP-capable application, you can use the UMP port to
1086send/receive the raw UMP packets, too. For example, aseqdump program
1087with UMP support can receive from UMP port. On the host::
1088
1089 $ aseqdump -u 2 -p 24:1
1090 Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end.
1091 Source Group Event Ch Data
1092 24:1 Group 0, Program change 0, program 0, Bank select 0:0
1093 24:1 Group 0, Channel pressure 0, value 0x80000000
1094
1095For testing a MIDI output to the gadget to the host (e.g. emulating a
1096MIDI synth), it'll be just other way round.
1097
1098On the gadget::
1099
1100 $ arecordmidi -p 20:1 from_host.mid
1101
1102On the host::
1103
1104 $ aplaymidi -p 24:1 to_gadget.mid
1105
1106The access to MIDI 1.0 on altset 0 on the host is supported, and it's
1107translated from/to UMP packets on the gadget. It's bound to only
1108Function Block 0.

1110The current operation mode can be observed in ALSA control element
1111"Operation Mode" for SND_CTL_IFACE_RAWMIDI. For example::
1112
1113 $ amixer -c1 contents
1114 numid=1,iface=RAWMIDI,name='Operation Mode'
1115 ; type=INTEGER,access=r--v----,values=1,min=0,max=2,step=0
1116 : values=2
1117
1118where 0 = unused, 1 = MIDI 1.0 (altset 0), 2 = MIDI 2.0 (altset 1).
1119The example above shows it's running in 2, i.e. MIDI 2.0.
