USB over IP
I need to control some lab equipment with several usb based controllers (mostly serial) and was wondering if it can be done over IP, there is such a thing called usbip, but couldn't find what 'server' is needed. all the boxes I found are not cheep, but worse, only provide binaries for windows, or linux. cheers, danny ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'm not entirely sure about your setup - you write usb based controllers - and then mostly serial... I know it is not strictly speaking usb over ip - but did you look at RFC 2217 ? https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2217 There are several projects supporting RFC 2217: http://ser2net.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/sercd/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cyclades-serial/ ser2net and sredird are in FreeBSD ports: http://www.freshports.org/comms/ser2net/ http://www.freshports.org/comms/sredird/ /Uffe ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I know, the word serial is confusing, what I meant is that the USB connection (which could be a mass-storage, camera, etc) is in my case serial (ie rs232) I know it is not strictly speaking usb over ip - but did you look at RFC 2217 ? yes, but it's not relevant to what I'm looking for, I want to send/receive the USB protocol over IP. I only mentioned the serial (rs232) because I don't need speed (as opposed to a camera, audio, etc) cheers, danny ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: USB over IP
something similar is being done in the latest versions of qemu. There is a usb redirection module which is in the form of a client/server architecture where USB packets are sent over IP. These two modules communicate with eachother through a protocol developed specifically for the redirection of USB devices over IP so if I were you I would have a look at the qemu code for some ideas.
