+
+* Overview
+
+The Multifunction Composite Gadget (or g_multi) is a customisable
+composite gadget that makes extensive use of the composite framework
+to provide a... multifunction gadget.
+
+In it's standard configuration it provides a single USB configuration
+with RNDIS[1] (that is Ethernet), USB CDC[2] ACM (that is serial) and
+USB Mass Storage functions.
+
+Each function can be disabled via a Kconfig option. There's also
+a CDC ECM (Ethernet) function which can be turned on. If, however,
+CDC ECM and RNDIS are enabled the gadget will have two configurations
+-- one with RNDIS and another with CDC ECM[3].
+
+Please not, however, that if you use non-standard configuration you
+may need to change vendor and/or product ID.
+
+* Host drivers
+
+To make use of the gadget one needs to make it work on host side --
+without that there's no hope of achieving anything with the gadget.
+As one might expect, things one need to do very from system to system.
+
+** Linux host drivers
+
+Since the gadget uses standard composite framework and appears as such
+to Linux host it does not need any additional drivers on Linux host
+side. All the functions are handled by respective drivers designed
+for them.
+
+This is also true for two configuration set-up with RNDIS
+configuration being the first one. Linux host will use the second
+configuration with CDC ECM which should work better under Linux.
+
+** Windows host drivers
+
+For the gadget two work under Windown two conditions have to be met:
+
+*** Detecting as composite gadget
+
+First of all, Windows need to detect the gadget as an USB composite
+gadget which on its own have some conditions[4]. If they are met,
+Windows lets USB Generic Parent Driver[5] handle the device which then
+tries to much drivers for each individual interface (sort of, don't
+get into too many details).
+
+The good news is, you do not have to worry about most of conditions!
+
+The only thing to worry is that the gadget has to have a single
+configuration so a dual RNDIS and CDC ECM gadget won't work unless you
+create a proper INF -- and of course, if you do submit it!
+
+*** Attaching drivers for each function
+
+The other, trickier thing is making Windows attach drivers to each
+individual function.
+
+For mass storage it is trivial since Windows detect it's an interface
+implementing USB Mass Storage class and selects appropriate driver.
+
+Things are harder with RDNIS and CDC ACM.
+
+**** RNDIS
+
+To make Windows select RNDIS drivers for the first function in the
+gadget, one needs to use the [[file:gadget_multi_rndis.inf]] file
+provided with this document. It "attaches" Window's RNDIS driver to
+the first interface of the gadget.
+
+Please note, that while testing we encountered some issues[6] when
+RNDIS was not the first interface. You do not need to worry abut it
+unless you are trying to develop your own gadget in which case watch
+out for this bug.
+
+**** CDC ACM
+
+Similarly, [[file:gadget_multi_serial.inf]] is provided for CDC ACM.
+Note, however that it also requires an usbser.sys file which can be
+extracted form Windows XP SP3 cab files.
+
+There is another usbser.sys file floating around the Internet but as
+we were testing the gadget it failed to work. It is very likely that
+one needs usbser.sys in version intended for one's version of Windows.
+
+We do net claim to be experts as far as INF files are considered so we
+think that there should be a better way of defining files in the
+[[file:gadget_multi_serial.inf]] so that it will work regardless of SP
+version installed. Again, if you happen to hack a better INF do not
+hesitate submitting it!
+
+**** Customising the gadget
+
+If you intend to hack the g_multi gadget be advised that rearranging
+functions will obviously change interface numbers for each of the
+functionality. As an effect provided INFs won't work since they have
+interface numbers hard-coded in them (it's not hard to change those
+though).
+
+This also means, that after experimenting with g_multi and changing
+provided functions one should change gadget's vendor and/or product ID
+so there will be no collision with other customised gadgets or the
+original gadget.
+
+Failing to comply may cause brain damage after wondering for hours why
+things don't work as intended before realising Windows have cached
+some drivers information (changing USB port may sometimes help).
+
+**** Improvements in INF files
+
+It needs to be noted that we are not Windows driver experts and as
+such we do not claim that provided INF files are flawless or that they
+will work on each and every Windows versions (they were tested on
+Windows XP SP3 only).
+
+The bottom line is, if you can improve the INF files, please do and
+share the results[7]. :)
+
+** Other systems
+
+At this moment, drivers for any other systems have not been tested.
+Knowing how MacOS is based on BSD and BSD is an Open Source it is
+believed that it should (read: "I have no idea whether it will") work
+out-of-the-box.
+
+For more exotic systems I have even less to say...
+
+Any testing and drivers *are* *welcome*!
+
+* Authors
+
+This document has been written by Michal Nazarewicz
+([[mailto:mina86@xxxxxxxxxx]]) and the INF files have been hacked by
+Marek Szyprowski ([[mailto:m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx]]) basing on the
+[[file:linux.inf]] file provided for Ethernet gadget and description
+from [[file:gadget_serial.txt]].
+
+* Footnotes
+

+[[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee484414.aspx]].

+any user input.
