g_hid module results in kernel crash if used with Windows

[ramtheconqueror]

I have A20-SoM and want to use this as an HID keyboard. Selected "HID Gadget" in USB Gadget support in the config, compiled the kernel and it doesn't work.

Code Select Expand

moprobe g_hid results in "(////g_hid) No such device" error.

Then followed these forum posts:

Code Select Expand

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/linux-usb-gadget-hid-driver-problem-840733/
https://communities.intel.com/thread/58917

and added the required details as per this https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt

from this point, loading g_hid module resulting in kernel crash and this error shows up on windows:

Code Select Expand

Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

This is the console output:

If I connect this to Ubuntu 16.04 system, it works as expected.

I'm using 3.4.103 (followed these instructions: https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/blob/master/SOFTWARE/A20/A20-build-3.4.103-release-5/BUILD_DESCRIPTION_A20_Olimex_kernel_3.4.103%2B_Jessie_rel_5.txt)

Has anyone successfully used OTG as HID keyboard? Any pointers would be appreciated..

Thanks,
Ram

Have you been able to work it out? I've been encountering this same "(////g_hid) No such device" error. Couldn't get a way around.
