Linux messages in host mode

When a USB2.0 peripheral is inserted, in the following example a memory mass storage device, the kernel recognizes the device (i.e. class, vendor id, product id, etc.)

Additional information

If the root file system configuration does not automatically mount the partition, it is possible to mount the device using the following command:

root@desk-mx8mp:~# mkdir -p /mnt/usb
root@desk-mx8mp:~# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
root@desk-mx8mp:~# ls -la /mnt/usb
total 104

Usage with mass-storage

256+0 records in
256+0 records out
268435456 bytes (268 MB, 256 MiB) copied, 0.844688 s, 318 MB/s
root@desk-mx8mp:~# mkfs.msdos mass_storage

root@desk-mx8mm:~# mkdir loop

root@desk-mx8mm:~# echo "Test USB OTG with mass storage device" > loop/usb.txt
root@desk-mx8mm:~# umount loop
root@desk-mx8mm:~#

then insert the g_mass_storage kernel module driver enabling an Windows PC to see it as a removable device

root@desk-mx8mm:~# modprobe g_mass_storage removable=y file=mass_storage
[  128.240835] Mass Storage Function, version: 2009/09/11
[  128.246113] LUN: removable file: (no medium)

[  128.273216] g_mass_storage gadget: g_mass_storage ready
root@desk-mx8mm:~#

Once the USB cable is connected to the PC, the kernel prints the following messages:

root@desk-mx8mm:~# [  892.036840] g_mass_storage gadget: high-speed config #1: Linux File-Backed Storage

and the Windows PC activate the driver and the disk is available as a Drive Unit (with the usb.txt file available).
