Hi all, I've stumbled upon this Bug ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108320) asking for USB gadget support. The bug's resolved since adding it on Leap seems unlikely. Yet I see it's enabled for arm64 on Tumbleweed. Would it cause any problem for us to also enable it on x86_64?
menuconfig USB_GADGET
Enable this configuration option if you want to run Linux inside a USB peripheral device.
Is this the case for x86_64? What device you have and is not supported in tumbleweed? Do you have an lsusb output?
The user that created the bug points to this library: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/libiio#how_t o_build_it It seems to need gadget support to build/run some of it's components. I can't really comment on why the library needs it.
I think the original reporter is confusing two things, initiator and target. If you scroll to the top of the iio wiki page, you will see a diagram with a network link, i.e. libiio is using the Network Backend. Now, mentally replace the network link with USB. As USB is asymetric (Device/ Host), one of the two has to be a device (and I assume it has to be the "target", i.e. the computer exporting the IIO devices). As far as I can see, the initiator (the computer on the right, in this case running Windows) only requires libusb. Currently, libiio in project hardware (and by linking hardware:sdr) is compiled without libusb support.
