[Overview]
USB/IP protocol allows to pass USB device from server to client over the
network. Server is a machine which provides (shares) a USB device. Client is
a machine which uses USB device provided by server over the network.
The USB device may be either physical device connected to a server or
software entity created on a server using USB gadget subsystem.
Whole project consists of four parts:
- usbip-vhci
A client side kernel module which provides a virtual USB Host Controller
and allows to import a USB device from a remote machine.
- usbip-host (stub driver)
A server side module which provides a USB device driver which can be
bound to a physical USB device to make it exportable.
- usbip-vudc
A server side module which provides a virtual USB Device Controller and allows
to export a USB device created using USB Gadget Subsystem.
- usbip-utils
A set of userspace tools used to handle connection and management.
Used on both sides.
[Requirements]
- USB/IP device drivers
Found in the staging directory of the Linux kernel.
Found in the drivers/usb/usbip/ directory of the Linux kernel tree.

[Usage]
On a server side there are two entities which can be shared.
First of them is physical usb device connected to the machine.
To make it available below steps should be executed:
server:# (Physically attach your USB device.)
server:# insmod usbip-core.ko

- The USB device 1-2 is now exportable to other hosts!
- Use `usbip unbind --busid 1-2' to stop exporting the device.
Second of shareable entities is USB Gadget created using USB Gadget Subsystem
on a server machine. To make it available below steps should be executed:
server:# (Create your USB gadget)
- Currently the most preferable way of creating a new USB gadget
is ConfigFS Composite Gadget. Please refer to its documentation
for details.
- See vudc_server_example.sh for a short example of USB gadget creation
server:# insmod usbip-core.ko
server:# insmod usbip-vudc.ko
- To create more than one instance of vudc use num module param
server:# (Bind gadget to one of available vudc)
- Assign your new gadget to USB/IP UDC
- Using ConfigFS interface you may do this simply by:
server:# cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/<gadget_name>
server:# echo "usbip-vudc.0" > UDC
server:# usbipd -D --device
- Start usbip daemon.
To attach new device to client machine below commands should be used:
client:# insmod usbip-core.ko
client:# insmod vhci-hcd.ko

- When using vudc on a server side busid is really vudc instance name.
For example: usbip-vudc.0
client:# usbip port
- Show virtual port status.

- See /proc/bus/usb/devices and find "Driver=..." lines of the device.
- Target USB gadget must be bound to vudc
(using USB gadget susbsys, not usbip bind command)
- Shutdown firewall.
- usbip now uses TCP port 3240.
- Disable SELinux.
