With version 2.3 of the driver, major and minor device nodes are
no longer statically defined. Your Linux based system should mount
sysfs in /sys, and use "mdev" (in Busybox) or "udev" to make the
/dev nodes matching the sysfs /sys/class/tty files.

Overview
--------
The gadget serial driver is a Linux USB gadget driver, a USB device
side driver. It runs on a Linux system that has USB device side
hardware; for example, a PDA, an embedded Linux system, or a PC
with a USB development card.
The gadget serial driver talks over USB to either a CDC ACM driver

On the device-side Linux system, the gadget serial driver looks
like a serial device.
On the host-side system, the gadget serial device looks like a
CDC ACM compliant class device or a simple vendor specific device
with bulk in and bulk out endpoints, and it is treated similarly
to other serial devices.
The host side driver can potentially be any ACM compliant driver
or any driver that can talk to a device with a simple bulk in/out
interface. Gadget serial has been tested with the Linux ACM driver,
the Windows usbser.sys ACM driver, and the Linux USB generic serial
driver.
With the gadget serial driver and the host side ACM or generic
serial driver running, you should be able to communicate between
the host and the gadget side systems as if they were connected by a
serial cable.
The gadget serial driver only provides simple unreliable data
communication. It does not yet handle flow control or many other
features of normal serial devices.
Installing the Gadget Serial Driver
-----------------------------------
To use the gadget serial driver you must configure the Linux gadget
side kernel for "Support for USB Gadgets", for a "USB Peripheral
Controller" (for example, net2280), and for the "Serial Gadget"
driver. All this are listed under "USB Gadget Support" when
configuring the kernel. Then rebuild and install the kernel or
modules.
Then you must load the gadget serial driver. To load it as an

Note that the major number (253, above) is system-specific. If
you need to create /dev nodes by hand, the right numbers to use
will be in the /sys/class/tty/ttyGS0/dev file.
When you link this gadget driver early, perhaps even statically,
you may want to set up an /etc/inittab entry to run "getty" on it.
The /dev/ttyGS0 line should work like most any other serial port.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0525 product=0xA4A6
If everything is working, usbserial will print a message in the
system log saying something like "Gadget Serial converter now
attached to ttyUSB0".
Testing with Minicom or HyperTerminal
-------------------------------------
Once the gadget serial driver and the host driver are both installed,
and a USB cable connects the gadget device to the host, you should
be able to communicate over USB between the gadget and host systems.
You can use minicom or HyperTerminal to try this out.
On the gadget side run "minicom -s" to configure a new minicom
session. Under "Serial port setup" set "/dev/ttygserial" as the
"Serial Device". Set baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits,
to 9600, 8, none, and 1--these settings mostly do not matter.
Under "Modem and dialing" erase all the modem and dialing strings.
On a Linux host running the ACM driver, configure minicom similarly
but use "/dev/ttyACM0" as the "Serial Device". (If you have other
ACM devices connected, change the device name appropriately.)
On a Linux host running the USB generic serial driver, configure
minicom similarly, but use "/dev/ttyUSB0" as the "Serial Device".
(If you have other USB serial devices connected, change the device
name appropriately.)
On a Windows host configure a new HyperTerminal session to use the
COM port assigned to Gadget Serial. The "Port Settings" will be
set automatically when HyperTerminal connects to the gadget serial
device, so you can leave them set to the default values--these
settings mostly do not matter.
With minicom configured and running on the gadget side and with
minicom or HyperTerminal configured and running on the host side,
you should be able to send data back and forth between the gadget
side and host side systems. Anything you type on the terminal
window on the gadget side should appear in the terminal window on
the host side and vice versa.
