Hi, im trying to set this device USB (with latest OpenWRT) to device mode, so i can use it as ethernet device via USB ( USB Ethernet Gadget)
i saw other devices that uses the same chip, that a resistor needs to be removed to change from host mode to device mode
anyones have experience or did this chage? is there a specific GPIO to change that? or can be done in software?
Thanks in advance!
It is not 9330, check dmesg for any mentions of OTG
Cutting wire will not install gadget support for certain. Can you provide source suggesting altering radio hardware?
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
here one source:
https://neykov.name/posts/ar933x-usb-device-driver/
i also found other devices that also show removing resistors or pulling up GPIO's for the same objective, like this one:
the usb works great in host mode, i have another dir-505 with a usb hub, card reader, etc, that i use as a wifi usb/card reader for file transfer
i got another one of this devices to try using it on "gadget mode", making the usb as a ethernet device instead of host

ehci_hcd does nt support usb-otg on its own.
apparently, docs and some forums show it uses GPIO 13 to set usb mode (mode 0=device, 1=host) at boot, so modify the hardware is necessary
will try to find GPIO 13 on the board to set value
