SV: USB Gadget driver for USB screen?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Isn't the "Standard VGA card" appearing in device manager a standarized
device class (that is used when no drivers are installed for the graphics
card)?
It would actually be cool if somebody could implement a VGA gadget driver
that works on both windows and linux out of the box (when plugged in),
because it could be useful in a lot of situations, everything from game
streaming to remote computer control.
For the ConfigFS, I think the best would be a option to supply the supported
resolutions and rates as a "descriptor". Anything more isn't really needed,
and the easiest way to supply the picture to the operating system would be
via a /dev/video0 output that works like a v4l webcam, but that shows the
picture that the host PC (which is connected to the OTG input of the linux
device) is sending to it.

There is no standardized device class for USB-to-VGA devices.

You could try reverse engineering the protocol used by the sisusbvga
or udl drivers, and implementing that.
