QUsbStorageGadget Class Reference
[QtBaseModule]

Detailed Description

The QUsbStorageGadget class is used to enable mass storage class of USB gadgets.

The QUsbStorageGadget class is used to configure the USB gadget hardware as a USB mass storage device.

The following code will export the block device, /dev/sda.

    QUsbStorageGadget *storage = QUsbStorageGadget;
    if (gadget->available()) {
        connect(gadget, SIGNAL(activated()), this, SLOT(storageActivated()));
        gadget->setBackingStore(QStringList() << "/dev/sda");
        gadget->activate();
    }

Warning: Filesystem drivers in most operating systems expect exclusive access to the underlying block device. Any modification to the on disk data structures that do not go through the filesystem layer can result in data losses and system crashes. Therefore it is important that the backing store block devices are unmounted prior to activating the USB storage gadget.
