Linux messages in host mode

When a USB 2.0 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.)

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

root@desk-mx8mp:~# [ 1493.477167] 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).

Additional information in host mode

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