USB Driver (Bare-Metal)

julian-bauer

Hello,

Is there a way to use USB in bare-metal without using Linux?

The Application should be able to write Data (in a stream) to a mass-storage drive via USB.

Using Linux + bare-metal as a AMP-solution would be to complicate in my opinion.

Thank you,

Julian

    Hi there,

    Is your Petalinux install controlling the Ethernet MAC?  If that is the case, you probably cannot access that hardware through the LWIP instance.

    As for trying to use the USB on baremetal as a HOST, there is a LOT of overhead that Linux takes care of.  If you are dead set on trying this for the reason of using two ethernets and NOT utilizing a second MAC in the PL, I would suggest trying to use the USB under the Petalinux and provide the hardware MAC to the LWIP install.

    That aside, I would suggest adding a second MAC and PHY, using whatever expansion your board has.  If it is FMC you can leverage something from Opsero.
