[gadget] Testing midi function

[Andrzej Pietrasiewicz]

Hi all,

I would like to try the midi function of usb gadget.

Can anybody please tell me:

1) What userspace programs do I need at the gadget side?
How to run them?

2) What do I need at the host side? How to tell whether my midi gadget
is working correctly?

I've never used it, but as far as I can see, the MIDI function ends up
as a normal sound card with MIDI port(s). Your device firmware would
access them through the normal ALSA rawmidi or sequencer APIs.

As for testing: To monitor received data, use amidi or aseqdump. To
send data, use amidi or aplaymidi. To make a loopback device, use
aconnect to connect the input to the output.

This requires the alsa-lib and alsa-utils packages.

USB MIDI is plug&play in every OS. For Linux, see above.
