1. cross-platform API with in-kernel device class drivers everywhere 2. that cross-platform API can even be used to make the GDB server socket available, without any device-specific software component on the USB host These benefits result in excellent usability, and in practice I think the IP address conflict can be solved rather easily - by allowing the device's IP address and subnet to be reconfigured manually, e.g. through type=vendor recipient=device control transfers, or static ARP. (Though AXIS AB may have a patent on the ARP trick, I'm unsure.) //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
