+ Linux USB Printer Gadget Driver
+ 06/04/2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Craig W. Nadler <craig@nadler.us>
+
+
+
+GENERAL
+=======
+
+This driver may be used if you are writing printer firmware using Linux as
+the embedded OS. This driver has nothing to do with using a printer with
+your Linux host system.
+
+You will need a USB device controller and a Linux driver for it that accepts
+a gadget / "device class" driver using the Linux USB Gadget API. After the
+USB device controller driver is loaded then load the printer gadget driver.
+This will present a printer interface to the USB Host that your USB Device
+port is connected to.
+
+This driver is structured for printer firmware that runs in user mode. The
+user mode printer firmware will read and write data from the kernel mode
+printer gadget driver using a device file. The printer returns a printer status
+byte when the USB HOST sends a device request to get the printer status. The
+user space firmware can read or write this status byte using a device file
+/dev/g_printer . Both blocking and non-blocking read/write calls are supported.
+
+
+
+
+HOWTO USE THIS DRIVER
+=====================
+
+To load the USB device controller driver and the printer gadget driver. The
+following example uses the Netchip 2280 USB device controller driver:
+
+modprobe net2280
+modprobe g_printer
+
+
+The follow command line parameter can be used when loading the printer gadget
+(ex: modprobe g_printer idVendor=0x0525 idProduct=0xa4a8 ):
+
+idVendor - This is the Vendor ID used in the device descriptor. The default is
+ the Netchip vendor id 0x0525. YOU MUST CHANGE TO YOUR OWN VENDOR ID
+ BEFORE RELEASING A PRODUCT. If you plan to release a product and don't
+ already have a Vendor ID please see www.usb.org for details on how to
+ get one.
+
+idProduct - This is the Product ID used in the device descriptor. The default
+ is 0xa4a8, you should change this to an ID that's not used by any of
+ your other USB products if you have any. It would be a good idea to
+ start numbering your products starting with say 0x0001.
+
+bcdDevice - This is the version number of your product. It would be a good idea
+ to put your firmware version here.
+
+iManufacturer - A string containing the name of the Vendor.
+
+iProduct - A string containing the Product Name.
+
+iSerialNum - A string containing the Serial Number. This should be changed for
+ each unit of your product.
+
+iPNPstring - The PNP ID string used for this printer. You will want to set
+ either on the command line or hard code the PNP ID string used for
+ your printer product.
+
+qlen - The number of 8k buffers to use per endpoint. The default is 10, you
+ should tune this for your product. You may also want to tune the
+ size of each buffer for your product.
+
+
+
+
+USING THE EXAMPLE CODE
+======================
+
+This example code talks to stdout, instead of a print engine.
+
+To compile the test code below:
+
+1) save it to a file called prn_example.c
+2) compile the code with the follow command:
+ gcc prn_example.c -o prn_example
+
+
+
+To read printer data from the host to stdout:
+
+ # prn_example -read_data
+
+
+To write printer data from a file (data_file) to the host:
+
+ # cat data_file | prn_example -write_data
+
+
+To get the current printer status for the gadget driver:
+
+ # prn_example -get_status
+
+ Printer status is:
+ Printer is NOT Selected
+ Paper is Out
+ Printer OK
+
+
+To set printer to Selected/On-line:
+
+ # prn_example -selected
+
+
+To set printer to Not Selected/Off-line:
+
+ # prn_example -not_selected
+
+
+To set paper status to paper out:
+
+ # prn_example -paper_out
+
+
+To set paper status to paper loaded:
+
+ # prn_example -paper_loaded
+
+
+To set error status to printer OK:
+
+ # prn_example -no_error
+
+
+To set error status to ERROR:
+
+ # prn_example -error
+
+

+Infinity Usb Unlimited Readme
+-----------------------------
+
+Hi all,
+
+
+This module provide a serial interface to use your
+IUU unit in phoenix mode. Loading this module will
+bring a ttyUSB[0-x] interface. This driver must be
+used by your favorite application to pilot the IUU
+
+This driver is still in beta stage, so bugs can
+occur and your system may freeze. As far I now,
+I never had any problem with it, but I'm not a real
+guru, so don't blame me if your system is unstable
+
+You can plug more than one IUU. Every unit will
+have his own device file(/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1,...)
+
+
+
+How to tune the reader speed ?
+
+ A few parameters can be used at load time
+ To use parameters, just unload the module if it is
+ already loaded and use modprobe iuu_phoenix param=value.
+ In case of prebuilt module, use the command
+ insmod iuu_phoenix param=value.
+
+ Example:
+
+ modprobe iuu_phoenix clockmode=3
+
+ The parameters are:
+
+ parm: clockmode:1=3Mhz579,2=3Mhz680,3=6Mhz (int)
+ parm: boost:overclock boost percent 100 to 500 (int)
+ parm: cdmode:Card detect mode 0=none, 1=CD, 2=!CD, 3=DSR, 4=!DSR, 5=CTS, 6=!CTS, 7=RING, 8=!RING (int)
+ parm: xmas:xmas color enabled or not (bool)
+ parm: debug:Debug enabled or not (bool)
+
+- clockmode will provide 3 different base settings commonly adopted by
+ different software:
+ 1. 3Mhz579
+ 2. 3Mhz680
+ 3. 6Mhz
+
+- boost provide a way to overclock the reader ( my favorite :-) )
+ For example to have best performance than a simple clockmode=3, try this:
+
+ modprobe boost=195
+
+ This will put the reader in a base of 3Mhz579 but boosted a 195 % !
+ the real clock will be now : 6979050 Hz ( 6Mhz979 ) and will increase
+ the speed to a score 10 to 20% better than the simple clockmode=3 !!!
+
+
+- cdmode permit to setup the signal used to inform the userland ( ioctl answer )
+ if the card is present or not. Eight signals are possible.
+
+- xmas is completely useless except for your eyes. This is one of my friend who was
+ so sad to have a nice device like the iuu without seeing all color range available.
+ So I have added this option to permit him to see a lot of color ( each activity change the color
+ and the frequency randomly )
+
+- debug will produce a lot of debugging messages...
+
+
+ Last notes:
+
+ Don't worry about the serial settings, the serial emulation
+ is an abstraction, so use any speed or parity setting will
+ work. ( This will not change anything ).Later I will perhaps
+ use this settings to deduce de boost but is that feature
+ really necessary ?
+ The autodetect feature used is the serial CD. If that doesn't
+ work for your software, disable detection mechanism in it.
+
+
+ Have fun !
