The USB/IP Project Reviews

No documentation where get a [bus_id] parameter in order to attach a remote USB device on Windows 10.

documentation for suse/ubuntu/windows is pretty spread over the internet as it's officially in the kernel but I got it working. (server on a SUSE linux and host on a Windows 7) One of my USB disks didn't work but our main usecase (a HW-debugger) did work! just some bluescreens in windows when terminating the windows program or disconnecting the USB device - but that's perfectly good for an alpha version! I don't want to stop using it anyway ;-)

Thanks for updates ;)

It take me a whole day but still cannot work under windoes os. The version I used is usbip0.2.0.

hi, where to submit patches ? I wrote one for 2 windows driver problems: - hang on initialising some usb-strorage devices, because of ignored IRP_MN_DEVICE_ENUMERATED - invalid read lengths < 4 bytes on some urbs. Causes some devices to not respond on this urb.

Great project! I was thrilled about running it on 8devices wireless board Carambola. It actually works!

Perfect open source project!

Thanks for great project! Simply the best!

great solution to share USB among several computers!

very good project

A fantastic project, and works really well considering its still in Alpha. I hope development picks up soon ; this is a really useful tool for virtual environments, but could do with better documentation for n00bs like me, and some extra features (like the ability to publish all USB devices excluding the ones specified in a separate parameter). There's been talk of a Windows GUI which would also be great ; it'd be nice not to have to have the command prompt window open whilst the device is attached.

Perfect job, many thanks for discussing

it is what i want to find

This project is stable enough but without code activity at this moment. Works fine for me with ubuntu server and windows client

Ported for OpenWrt could provide functionality of Network USB Hub (like the one sold by Belkin) to your USB enabled WiFi router.

I have installed the relevant windows driver and the system halts after running "usbip --attach server_ip device_id", can anyone tell me what's wrong? But the linux version works fine.

OK, but I want an option to give different usb devices to different clients basing on client IP-address.

for windows installation make sure to read http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbip/forums/forum/418508/topic/3388551

This is a great project! Once it has some working, practical binaries for Windows and Mac OS X, it will be a project with amazing commercial potential and many practical applications! This is something sorely needed to solve people's home and business USB device usage headaches.
