  ROCK 3 >  Development >  Radxa E25 as USB Mass Storage

Description

This guide describes how to setup USB Mass Storage on Radxa E25.

Requirement

• Radxa E25
• Ubuntu PC or Windows PC
• USB Male A to A cable

Modify the kernel configuration

Enable USB mass storage on Radxa E25

• Step 1: Disable amlogic-adbd service. It will interfere with USB mass storage mode:

rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo systemctl disable rockchip-adbd

• Step 2: Reboot the device:

rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo reboot

• Step 3: Create a file backing for mass storage, and format it in FAT32:

rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/rock/share bs=1M count=512 status=progress # Create a 512M file as /home/rock/share
rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo apt-get install dosfstools # dosfstools contains mkfs.fat
rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo mkfs.fat /home/rock/share -F 32 -I

• Step 4: Enable USB mass storage on our backing file and create test.txt file:

rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo modprobe g_mass_storage file=/home/rock/share stall=0 removable=1
rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo mount /home/rock/share /mnt/
rock@radxa-e25:~$ sudo touch  /mnt/test.txt
rock@radxa-e25:~$ echo "hello radxa" | sudo tee /mnt/test.txt
hello radxa
rock@radxa-e25:~$ cat /mnt/test.txt
hello radxa

Accessing storage device from PC

Run the command on Radxa E25,

sudo modprobe g_mass_storage file=/home/rock/share stall=0 removable=1

a new USB storage device will be detected on your host computer.
