How To Load G_file_storage.ko? Error Occus Options

Glad you've got it sorted

The host(windows XP) always says "it should be formatted". I click yes, but it

failed just before the format process finished. Maybe bad block in Flash?

I'm not sure. You could always format it using the board before you load the mass-storage module.

I had some issues with WinXP recognising my Z as a mass-storage device, but not actually working a long while back when I was first fiddling with the storage_fd.o module. These issues seemed to just go away (or there may have been a patch - can't remember - try a search of this forum).

That is interesting.
I changed the partition type to Win95 FAT32 (LBA) on the board:
and everything is OK now.

Command (m for help): p

Disk /root/back_file: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/root/back_file1 1 4 32098+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

Goal: To simulate the flash of the board to be a USB DISK(In Host View).

Background: XScale Pxa27x Board, USB Slave 1.1, Linux 2.6 11, USB cable, a PC(as host) with Windows XP or Linux.

General: make use of GADGET DRIVER to specify to space in the flash,which is
used as "USB disk".

Step 1:

FILE_STORAGE.C NEED CHANGED

*****************************************************************
add '&' at two places, need a pointer accord to macro module_param_array.

module_param_array(file, charp, &mod_data.num_filenames, S_IRUGO);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(file, "names of backing files or devices");

module_param_array(ro, bool, &mod_data.num_ros, S_IRUGO);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(ro, "true to force read-only");
*****************************************************************
make use of this patch or change so code in usb/gadget/file_storage.c

for someone who is not familiar with how to patch a file, change some code like this:
#include "pxa27x_udc.h" or "extern struct usb_ep* pxa27x_ep_config...." which could be found in pxa27x_udc.c
then replace usb_ep_autoconfig with pxa27x_ep_config in two places as the patch does.

Step 2:

COMPILE KERNEL, DOWNLOAD MODULES TO BOARD
In your linux host:
make menuconfig // remember to make gadgat file storage as module
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install //after this, go to /lib/modules/x.x.xx to find your module such as g_file_storage.ko

download the files in x.x.xx to your board, and place them in the same directory.

STEP 3:

CREATE A SPACE FOR USB STORAGE

vi /root/back_file
dd if=1M count=32 if=/dev/zero of=/root/back_file
fdisk -S 8 -H 16 -C 512 /root/back_file //I made it a Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

u could find content related here:
FSG

STEP 4:

INSERT THE MODULE AND TEST
insmod g_file_storage file=/root/back_file
when "using /lib/modules/x.xx.xx/kernel/driver/usb/gadget/g_file_storage.ko" is displayed, insert is finished.

make sure your board is connected by the USB cable with PC(host), my host is Widows XP. After ONE MINUTE, just like a USB DISK is inserted, a new driver is shown.(If not, go to the computer manager to see)

Finally, u could test the function of read and write.
It is OK for me,just like a USB DISK.

I hope this is helpful to some people.
I will be apreciate if u could give me some advice.
Thanks to lardman.
Thanks to everybody.
