<title>Setting up USB/IP Support on a Linux System</title>
|
|
|
|
<body>
|
|
<p>This section gives a brief overview on how to set up a Linux based system to act as a USB device server. The
|
|
system on the server requires that the <filepath>usbip-core.ko</filepath> and <filepath>usbip-host.ko</filepath>
|
|
kernel drivers are available, and that the USB/IP tools package is installed. The particular installation method
|
|
for the necessary tools depends on which distribution is used. For example, for Debian based systems, use the
|
|
following command to install the required tools: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ apt-get install usbip-utils</pre>
|
|
<p>To check whether the necessary tools are already installed use the following command: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ usbip list -l
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>This should produce output similar to that shown in the example below: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve"> - busid 4-2 (0bda:0301)
|
|
Realtek Semiconductor Corp. : multicard reader (0bda:0301)
|
|
|
|
- busid 5-1 (046d:c52b)
|
|
Logitech, Inc. : Unifying Receiver (046d:c52b)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>If everything is installed, the USB/IP server needs to be started as <codeph>root</codeph> using the following
|
|
command: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve"># usbipd -D</pre>
|
|
<p>See the documentation for the installed distribution to determine how to start the service when the system boots. </p>
|
|
<p>By default, no device on the server is exported. This must be done manually for each device. To export a device
|
|
use the following command: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve"># usbip bind -b "bus identifier"</pre>
|
|
<p>To export the multicard reader in the previous example: </p>
|
|
<pre xml:space="preserve"># usbip bind -b 4-2</pre>
