Dear USB Experts, Some readers here might be interested to know that I have got Takahiro Hirofuchi's USB/IP code working between a Linux PC and a Linksys NSLU2. The NSLU2 is a small, cheap, low-power box with one ethernet and two USB2.0 host ports; there is a very active linux community for it at http://nslu2-linux.org/. Compiling the USB/IP code involved some very minor patches to address things like cross-compilation autoconf issues and ARM unaligned access problems. (If any of you read LKML or the gcc lists you may have seen my confused ramblings about this second issue a few days ago...)
I think that this could provide a very attractive way to share USB devices over a Linux network. At present it works well, but not perfectly; I would be interested to hear about the progress of USB/IP towards the stable kernel, and whether any USB kernel experts have been using / debugging it. I have written up more details on the NSLU2 wiki: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseUsbIpOnTheNSLU2 Regards, Phil. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
