| 8 | This section gives a brief overview on how to set up a Linux
|
|---|
| 9 | based system to act as a USB device server. The system on the
|
|---|
| 10 | server requires that the <filepath>usbip-core.ko</filepath> and
|
|---|
| 11 | <filepath>usbip-host.ko</filepath> kernel drivers are available,
|
|---|
| 12 | and that the USB/IP tools package is installed. The particular
|
|---|
| 13 | installation method for the necessary tools depends on which
|
|---|
| 14 | distribution is used. For example, for Debian based systems, use
|
|---|
| 15 | the following command to install the required tools:
|
|---|
| 16 | </p>
|
|---|
| 17 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ apt-get install usbip-utils</pre>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>
|
|---|
| 19 | To check whether the necessary tools are already installed use
|
|---|
| 20 | the following command:
|
|---|
| 21 | </p>
|
|---|
| 22 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ usbip list -l
|
|---|
| 23 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 24 | <p>
|
|---|
| 25 | This should produce output similar to that shown in the example
|
|---|
| 26 | below:
|
|---|
| 27 | </p>
|
|---|
| 28 | <pre xml:space="preserve"> - busid 4-2 (0bda:0301)
|
|---|
| 29 | Realtek Semiconductor Corp. : multicard reader (0bda:0301)
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | - busid 5-1 (046d:c52b)
|
|---|
| 32 | Logitech, Inc. : Unifying Receiver (046d:c52b)
|
|---|
| 33 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 34 | <p>
|
|---|
| 35 | If everything is installed, the USB/IP server needs to be
|
|---|
| 36 | started as <codeph>root</codeph> using the following command:
|
|---|
| 37 | </p>
|
|---|
| 38 | <pre xml:space="preserve"># usbipd -D</pre>
|
|---|
| 39 | <p>
|
|---|
| 40 | See the documentation for the installed distribution to
|
|---|
| 41 | determine how to start the service when the system boots.
|
|---|
| 42 | </p>
|
|---|
| 43 | <p>
|
|---|
| 44 | By default, no device on the server is exported. This must be
|
|---|
| 45 | done manually for each device. To export a device use the
|
|---|
| 46 | following command:
|
|---|
| 47 | </p>
|
|---|
| 48 | <pre xml:space="preserve"># usbip bind -b "bus identifier"</pre>
|
|---|
| 49 | <p>
|
|---|
| 50 | To export the multicard reader in the previous example:
|
|---|
| 51 | </p>
|
|---|
| 52 | <pre xml:space="preserve"># usbip bind -b 4-2</pre>
