Better knowing the Pandora's modules?

[patrick295767]

Hello,

I would be interested to open a talk on listing useful modules that can be enabled during use.

two important ones:

g_cdc is for the usb (?)

ehci-hcd is for the usb-host <--- vital

What else you can use?

g_massstorage (?) I forgot this one.

Tons of modules can be loaded.

They usually are loaded when needed.

I am trying to initialize the usb mass storage from debian to a windows xp  (over the OTG cable)

I still do not know how to realize it... 

first a module must be inserted then ... dont know really much. I used with my zaurus to use a samba method.

I'm not sure common USB host ports can do OTG.

^ Maybe he means pandebian...

but anyways unmount your backing device if mounted (if you're trying to share an SD that is, it will mostly be mounted...) - this is just so that you wont be writing to it from two sources (that would be bad)

The device can also be any file, so you can share a FAT filesystem in a file on an sd...

then I like for example: modprobe g_mass_storage file=/dev/mmcblk0 removable=1

Then plug in the usb cable and it works with this win7 machine I'm testing on atleast.

I think g_file_storage does about the same thing but is deprecated...

You can just ask what a module is (and the parameters) with modinfo module-name

This was tested on Ångström, not debian, but i think it is similar enough...
