## USB under U-Boot
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### USB Host Port
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
USB Host support in U-Boot is quite minimal, it only support USB storage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### USB OTG Port (USB Type-C)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
USB Type C port is configured as USB device mode as USB Mass Storage connected to eMMC.
|
||||||
|
This function can be activated by pressing [Recovery Button](/helios64/button/#recovery-button).
|
||||||
|
This is to serve as a way to (re)install OS to eMMC.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## USB under Linux
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! Info
|
||||||
|
Currently only applicable under Linux Kernel 4.4.
|
||||||
|
Mainline kernel support is still under development.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Helios64 as Direct Attached Storage (DAS) device
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Helios64 can be used as Direct Attached Storage (DAS) device with help of Linux USB Gadget kernel module.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The kernel moodule only export the underlying block device NOT the filesystem layer. Therefore if the block device is formatted with filesystem unique to Linux,
|
||||||
|
the exported disk may not readable by computer that has Helios64 connected to.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, the block device is formatted with EXT4 filesystem and Helios64 connected to Windows PC as DAS,
|
||||||
|
the Windows PC will not be able to read the disk content unless 3rd party software/driver installed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! warning
|
||||||
|
Do NOT access Helios64 simultanouesly as DAS and NAS, as the filesystem is not managed by system and can lead to data corruption.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Individual Disk Exported as Separate Disk
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To export all SATA disks that has been identified as /dev/sda ... /dev/sde, run the following command on Helios64.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sudo modprobe g_mass_storage file=/dev/sda,/dev/sdb,/dev/sdc,/dev/sdd,/dev/sde iSerialNumber=1234567890 iManufacturer="Kobol Innovations" iProduct=Helios64
|
||||||
|
```

#### RAID device exported as One Disk
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assuming the RAID already created and identified as /dev/md/md-raid6, run the following command on Helios64 to export the RAID block device as USB Mass Storage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sudo modprobe g_mass_storage file=/dev/md/md-raid6 iManufacturer="Kobol Innovations" iProduct="Helios64" iSerialNumber="1234567890"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following screenshot, Helios64 connected with 5x 120GB SATA drive and configured as RAID 6 so total space of the block device is ~360GB (3x 120GB). The block device then formatted with NTFS.
