File-backed Storage implements the USB Mass Storage class (as CB, CBI, or BBB), appearing to the host as a SCSI disk drive. This uses a file or block device as a backing store for the drive, like the “loop” driver. (Read about how to set up the backing store.) The 2.6 version also lets you change the backing file associated with a given LUN. For example, you might specify the block device for an MMC card when that card is inserted (maybe using a hotplug script, or a GUI). Note that for MS-Windows interoperability, your backing store needs to be formatted with a DOS partition label. Data partitions can then be formatted with VFAT (for the widest interoperability) or some other filesystem (such as ext3 or reiserfs, for use with Linux).

Souce code is drivers/usb/gadget/file_storage.c

Use EZKIT-BF548 as USB Mass Storage device for Windows/Linux Host

EZKIT-BF548 provides IDE hard disk connected by ATAPI of BF54x. If the kernel add BF54x ATAPI support, some you can get following booting message. We can use this real hard disk as backing storage of file-backed storage gadget driver.

On EZKIT-BF548, install the g_file_storage driver:

root:~> modprobe g_file_storage file=/dev/sda1 stall=0
g_file_storage gadget: File-backed Storage Gadget, version: 28 November 2005
g_file_storage gadget: Number of LUNs=1
g_file_storage gadget-lun0: ro=0, file: /dev/sda1
g_file_storage gadget: full speed config #1
root:~> 

Then on the host PC, both Windows and Linux can found the 40GB driver mounted. You can do fdisk/formate/copy/delete operation as normal disk.

If the IDE hard disk has been partitioned and formated as MSDOS (for Windows) or other file system can be recognized by host PC, it will be automatically mounted on you PC. You can directly operate this disk driver. If not, on Windows host please go to [Control Panel] --> [Administrative Tools] --> [Computer Management] --> [Disk Management] and you can find the 40GB hard disk is ready for partition and format. After that, you can use the hard disk driver normally.

Use RAM based file as backing storage

Sometime there is no such hard disk installed in your system, then we can use RAM based block file as backing storage as below:

root:~> dd if=/dev/zero of=fsg.block bs=1M count=16
16+0 records in
16+0 records out
root:~> modprobe g_file_storage file=/fsg.block stall=0
g_file_storage gadget: File-backed Storage Gadget, version: 28 November 2005
g_file_storage gadget: Number of LUNs=1
g_file_storage gadget-lun0: ro=0, file: /fsg.block
g_file_storage gadget: full speed config #1
root:~>

You can partition and format this block disk driver on host Windows/Linux PC. The block file also can be partitioned and formated on Blackfin embedded devices, please read as reference.

Sometimes, people have Nand flash on their device, and they want this Nand flash accessible as
