I am using the Apalis iMX6Q evaluation board.
In the USB Device Mode (Linux) article there is mention of creating a USB HID device.
Unfortunately I have not managed to get this to work. Research indicates that the HID configfs interface is provided by the usb_f_hid.ko module.
This module is not available for Linux 3.14 (using the Apalis IMX6 Linux image V2.6b1). I understand that this module is introduced in kernel 3.19.
Do I need to compile a newer kernel or is there a simpler way forward?
Thank you.
Hi
You’re right that there is no USB HID Gadget driver controlable through the configfs in the 3.14 kernel.
However a USB HID Gadget driver can be enabled which is configured with platform data. CONFIG_USB_G_HID
Compare with gadget_hid.txt .

Hi Max,
Thank you for this answer. I have managed to the the g_hid.ko to work.
The issue is that I need a composite device and g_hid does not support this.
What is the state of linux toradex_imx_4.1.15_1.0.0_ga-next?
Another option may be FunctionFS?
Thank you,

Hi Shaun
The toradex_imx_4.1.15_1.0.0_ga-next branch is currently only used with a Colibri iMX7. While we will port the i.MX6 based modules to that branch no work on that has started yet.
Does it have hardware acceleration support for IMX6?
