[usbip-devel] EXSYS USB/IP Servers

[Matthias <mat...@us...>]

Hi Steven,

Right, the Linux client available for download
on EXSYS homepage is the USB/IP VHCI driver + some closed source binary.
So yes, EX-6001 runs with usbip. Most probably the
device's firmware simply contains usbip.
MosChips's homepage
 http://www.moschip.com/usbserver.php
states, that the firmware is based on the Linux kernel.
This means, there must be source code available somewhere.

Do you know where? Has anyone requested it?

Unfortunately EX-6000 and EX-6001 are different.
6000 uses a Elite E1868M4 SoC, while 6001, as
you wrote, uses a MosChip MCS814x.

Is there anyone out there, familiar with this E1868M4 ?

Best, Matthias
