+# USB Gadget support on a system involves
+# (a) a peripheral controller, and
+# (b) the gadget driver using it.
+#
+# NOTE: Gadget support ** DOES NOT ** depend on host-side CONFIG_USB !!
+#
+# - Host systems (like PCs) need CONFIG_USB (with "A" jacks).
+# - Peripherals (like PDAs) need CONFIG_USB_GADGET (with "B" jacks).
+# - Some systems have both kinds of controllers.
+#
+# With help from a special transceiver and a "Mini-AB" jack, systems with
+# both kinds of controller can also support "USB On-the-Go" (CONFIG_USB_OTG).

+ USB is a master/slave protocol, organized with one master
+ host (such as a PC) controlling up to 127 peripheral devices.
+ The USB hardware is asymmetric, which makes it easier to set up:
+ you can't connect a "to-the-host" connector to a peripheral.
+
+ U-Boot can run in the host, or in the peripheral. In both cases
+ you need a low level bus controller driver, and some software
+ talking to it. Peripheral controllers are often discrete silicon,
+ or are integrated with the CPU in a microcontroller. The more
+ familiar host side controllers have names like "EHCI", "OHCI",
+ or "UHCI", and are usually integrated into southbridges on PC
+ motherboards.
+
+ Enable this configuration option if you want to run U-Boot inside
+ a USB peripheral device. Configure one hardware driver for your
+ peripheral/device side bus controller, and a "gadget driver" for
+ your peripheral protocol.
