martinayotte Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 What do you mean exactly ? USB remote has nothing to do with RDP ... You need something like : http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinayotte Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 As I said earlier, take a look at "usbip", there are also commercial product doing things similiarly, google "usb over network", you will find several of them. The main issue is that you wish to have that on cross platform, not all of them exist, but "usbip" exist on Linux thru "apt-get" and also have a Windows binary on sourceforge.

But as far as i can understand , "usbip" is related to devices connected at server side ...am i correct ? what i need is client side usb device talking to native windows application running on remote windows XP server/desktop machine .

martinayotte Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 "usbip" has a client and a "usbipd" daemon, so depending where you are running the daemon, it can work on both side, even in both directions if a daemon is running on both side.

martinayotte Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 You're right the Windows package doesn't have the "usbipd" daemon. But you've said "what i need is client side usb device talking to native windows application", this means your USB devices are on SoC board side and you wish to have Windows accessing those device, Right ? In such case the "usbipd" daemon is on Linux side and the "usbip" client provided by the Windows package will give you access to them. If you wish the other way around, I think you will be forced to use commercial solutions.
