= Wireless USB =
Provided a usb device over a network for another device
Best done with a [[raspberry_pi|Raspberry pi]]
== Steps ==
First you'll want a working pi with an internet connection. Be sure its
updated
1) sudo apt-get install usbip
- This is the actual kernel module that will be doing the heavy lifting
2) sudo modprobe usbip_host
- load the module into the kernel
3) now edit your modules file to add usbip on boot
{{{
#file: /etc/modules
usbip_host
}}}
4) Find the device you want to share (lsusb). Keep this in mind
5) usbip list -p -l
- This will list all the usb devices in a way usbip can understand. Find the
matching busid from above for your device
6) usbip bind --busid=<BUSID>
- Will bind the usb device to usbip
7) sudo usbipd
- Starts the usbip daemon. Will display what it is listening on
8) On the client machine, install usbip as well.
9) sudo modprobe vhci-hcd
- Load the module for networked usb
- Be sure that you have USB/IP support enabled compiled into your kernel
10) (Optional) /etc/modules
- Same as the pi
11) sudo usbip attach -r <PI_IP> -b <BUSID>
- Binds the usb device
And thats it! It should work now. This doesn't have to be with a raspberry pi
it can be with any device
