    ROCK Pi S >  Development >  USB Device Network

ROCK Pi S has one USB OTG port, which can be configured as USB devices with the Linux USB gadget driver, supporting multiple functions as a USB device such as Massive Storage Device and USB networking. We describe how to configure USBNET with a HOST PC.

root@rockpis:~# dmesg -c
[   25.792177] using random self ethernet address
[   25.792239] using random host ethernet address
[   25.794179] usb0: HOST MAC fe:fc:51:10:b2:fa

[   26.154634] g_ether gadget: high-speed config #1: CDC Ethernet (ECM)

Bring up the usb0 device

root@rockpis:~# ifconfig usb0 up

Now you should have usb0 on ROCK Pi S enabled.

On the host PC Ubuntu 16.04, the dmesg gives something like below:

radxa@x86_64_pc:~$ sudo dmesg -c
[974637.533636] usb 1-4.1: new high-speed USB device number 121 using xhci_hcd

[974637.694633] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): enp0s20f0u4u1: link is not ready

enp0s20f0u4u1 is the "USB network card" for ROCK Pi S. ifconfig enp0s20f0u4u1 gives us the info about it.

Setup USB Network

On ROCK Pi S.

root@rockpis:~# IP=10.0.1.1
root@rockpis:~# HOST_IP=10.0.1.2
root@rockpis:~# ifconfig usb0 $IP netmask 255.255.255.0
root@rockpis:~# route

On host PC

radxa@x86_64_pc:~$ HOST_IP=10.0.1.2
radxa@x86_64_pc:~$ sudo ifconfig enp0s20f0u4u1 $HOST_IP netmask 255.255.255.0

Test the network, on ROCK Pi S

root@rockpis:~# ping $HOST_IP

Test network traffic, on host PC

radxa@x86_64_pc:~$ iperf -s

 USB gadget driver must be enabled to configure usb net. You need to update the kernel to at least version 4.4.143-46-rockchip.

+So far, Type-C OTG port only supports one Gadget function. To use use USB net, here need to stop rockchip-adbd service.
