How to enable 'USB-UART/Gadget mode' on OPI Lite2?

[Damien Wang]

Dear community,

 

Im trying to get an USB gadget via OTG running on Linux (OrangePI Lite 2). As OPI Lite 2 doesn't support  'USB-UART/Gadget mode' like OPI Zero, I just modify the build config and rebuild kernel by myself as steps shown below. 

 

1. I change the mode of USB from host to otg in the:

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/sunxi-current/board-h6-orangepi-lite2-fix-missing-all.patch

 

2. I add MODULES_CURRENT="g_serial" & SERIALCON="ttyS0,ttyGS0" to build/config/boards/orangepilite2.conf file.

 

3. I rebuild the kernel and flashed the new image to sdcard. 

 

Unfortunately, I find it doesn't work, the WIN10 does find a USB device but cannot recognize it. In win10 device manager, it shows "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"

 

I was wondering if anyone tried 'USB-UART/Gadget mode' in OPI Lite2,  could you help give some suggestions?

 

Here is some messages when I tried debug this issue:
