USB testing application

Browse source code on GitHub

This sample implements a loopback function that can be used to test USB device drivers and the device stack connected to a Linux host and has a similar interface to “Gadget Zero” of the Linux kernel. The userspace tool testusb is needed to start the tests.

Building and flashing

Follow the general procedure for building and flashing Zephyr device.

Testing

To run USB tests:

1. Load the usbtest Linux kernel module on the Linux Host.

   $ sudo modprobe usbtest vendor=0x2fe3 product=0x0009
   

   The usbtest module should claim the device:

   [21746.128743] usb 9-1: new full-speed USB device number 16 using uhci_hcd
   [21746.303051] usb 9-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2fe3, idProduct=0009, bcdDevice= 2.03
   [21746.303055] usb 9-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
   [21746.303058] usb 9-1: Product: Zephyr testusb sample
   [21746.303060] usb 9-1: Manufacturer: ZEPHYR
   [21746.303063] usb 9-1: SerialNumber: 86FE679A598AC47A
   [21746.306149] usbtest 9-1:1.0: matched module params, vend=0x2fe3 prod=0x0009
   [21746.306153] usbtest 9-1:1.0: Generic USB device
   [21746.306156] usbtest 9-1:1.0: full-speed {control} tests
   

2. Use the testusb tool in linux/tools/usb inside Linux kernel source directory to start the tests.

   $ sudo ./testusb -D /dev/bus/usb/009/016
   /dev/bus/usb/009/016 test 0,    0.000007 secs
   /dev/bus/usb/009/016 test 9,    4.994475 secs
   /dev/bus/usb/009/016 test 10,   11.990054 secs
   

3. To run all the tests the Zephyr’s VID / PID should be inserted to USB driver id table. The method for loading the usbtest driver for our device is described here: https://lwn.net/Articles/160944/.

   Since we use the “Gadget Zero” interface we specify reference device 0525:a4a0.

   $ sudo sh -c "echo 0x2fe3 0x0009 0 0x0525 0xa4a0 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbtest/new_id"
   

4. Use the testusb tool in linux/tools/usb inside Linux kernel source directory to start the tests.

   $ sudo ./testusb -v 512 -D /dev/bus/usb/009/016
   /dev/bus/usb/009/017 test 0,    0.000008 secs
   /dev/bus/usb/009/017 test 1,    2.000001 secs
