The CM-i.MX27 core module features a high-speed USB-OTG PHY (SMSC USB3317). It is connected to the mini-USB jack marked with USB-OTG on the DEV-i.MX27/35.

Linux kernel configuration

This configuration sets up full OTG mode, support for the Ethernet gadget (USB device mode) and mass storage support (USB host mode).

Test in Linux

After startup of the kernel, we will load the required kernel modules, test the USB HOST mode with a USB flash disk, and test the USB DEVICE mode with the Ethernet gadget. You will need a PC featuring the Ethernet gadget driver (a Linux PC typically includes this driver).

  • Boot Linux on the CM-i.MX27
  • Load the kernel modules

  • Now connect a USB flash disk to the USB-OTG plug. You need a cable mini-USB-A plug to USB-A-jack. We will mount and unmount it:

  • Unplug the cable from the OTG port.
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
  • Now we will connect the i.MX board to your local PC. You need a cable mini-USB-B plug to USB-A plug.
usb0: high speed config #1: 8 mA, Ethernet Gadget, using CDC Ethernet
  • Establish an Ethernet-over-USB connection to your PC. On the target, we assign the IP address 192.168.1.2:
root@btmxc27:~# ifconfig usb0 up 192.168.1.2
root@btmxc27:~# ifconfig usb0

          RX bytes:2024 (1.9 KiB)  TX bytes:3390 (3.3 KiB)
  • Your Linux PC should have detected the connection of the Ethernet gadget. The output of dmesg should contain:
[24772.520051] usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7

  • On your Linux PC, assign the IP address 192.168.5.1 to network device usb0. We use sudo because we need root privileges for this.
