[uClinux-dev] Can't get Gadget Serial driver to start on Windows XPPro

[Robert S. Grimes]

Hi Andrey,

Well, it took quite a while, but when I got everything just right, IT 
WORKS!!!  THANKS!

Take care,
-Bob

P.S. As Andrey surmised, I had not built the driver as a module.  Once I 
did, I had to revert the .inf file to the original value; in other 
words, ignore my earlier comment about it.  Seems what was happening is 
the g_serial driver was loading in bulk in/out mode, which doesn't work 
with Windoze; in fact, that is not how I wanted to use the device anyways.

So is it true that the acm mode is only available when loading as a module?

Another problem is this instruction in the docs: 
    mknod /dev/ttygserial c 127 0
Because my /dev is in the romfs, that of course won't work.  I 
discovered I could do that by copying an existing file in ../romfs/dev 
of the distribution, then rebuilding it.  Seems to work, though a "make 
clean" seems to delete that.  Is there a better way to do this?  Feels a 
bit kludgy to me.

Anyway, it works!!!
