Peter, Thanks for your response. I understand that currently for the i.MX51 in the ChipIdea drivers that the DEN value is 8 which results in defining endpoints ep[0-7]in and ep[0-7]out. I am looking to develop a piece of automated test equipment and drivers that emulates an existing device which has the following endpoints: ep0in - control ep0out - control ep3out - bulk ep3in - bulk ep4in - interrupt ep1out - bulk ep1in - bulk ep5out - bulk ep5in - bulk ep6in - interrupt ep9out - bulk ep9in - bulk ep10in - interrupt Thus the number of endpoints is not a problem, but I'm thinking that having ep9out, ep9in, and ep10in would not work (they are not defined). For instance if I want to write a user space gadget driver on top of gadgetfs, these endpoints will not even be present for use. Only endpoints ep[0-7]in and ep[0-7]out are accessible via gadgetfs. So are you saying that I could open up ep2in and ep2out which are not used to act as ep9in and ep9out for instance where ep2 is the physical endpoint, but I initialize it like ep9? Will that work? Can you explain this further? Do you mean at init I could set up the endpoint address to be 9, but use physical endpoint 2 and that should work?

When the IC guys begin to integrate usb ip, the endpoint number can be changed, but once the chip has finished, this number can't be changed. > > > > Any idea if it would work to just over-ride the ci->hw_ep_map value set in > hw_device_init()?

What's the reason you want to customize endpoint number? Currently, it will allocate the smallest un-used endpoint number for application. -- Best Regards, Peter Chen ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{���)�� jg��� �����ݢj����G���� ���j:+v���w�m������w�������h�����٥
