USB/IP extension

Hello everyone, I come looking for your help, I have been trying to use the usbip extension for days, but I can’t get it to work, at first I thought it was my client’s problem, but then I noticed some problems (attached images) when following the instructions that They appear in the same extension, my theory is that no server is actually being created on the raspberry, I would appreciate any help or guidance

Hi @seba -
Sorry you’re having issues! The command you tried to run at the terminal isn’t going to work. If you want to view the logs from the USB-IP extension, you can click the “View Logs” button under the installed extension.
I’ve not tried USB-IP, but had great and easy success with VirtualHere, which uses USB-IP under the hood. I would recommend giving that a go!

Out of curiosity, what USB device are you trying to forward to your topside computer?

Hello Tony, when the extension is like in the image it does not allow me to “View Logs” is there any way to repair the extension? I tell you I am implementing an imageex sonar plus a complementary IMU, I tell you that I did try the VirtualHere extension and it It worked very well but the free version only allows you to link one device at a time, and the truth is I would pay for the full version, but personally I think their licensing policies are stupid, I prefer to find out how to solve the usbip extension hahaha

Hi @seba,

I just updated the USB/IP extension, it is still somewhat rudimentary, but it should work now.

Hello, I have tried the modification and it works well for me, only with the difficulty of being able to share 2 devices simultaneously, the raspberry detects both USBs but, when I search with the command usbio list it does not appear, (I clarify that at one point I managed to do it , but I couldn’t replicate it) any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated


Hi, can you run sudo usbip list at blueos`s terminal? use red-pill to run it at the host machine.

Hello, thank you for your help, I did what you asked me and this is what I got (photo attached) and everything looks good, I tell you that the only way to be able to have 2 simultaneous devices is to physically connect a device to the raspberry and link the device in usbip, then connect the other device and link it in usbip, but clearly this is not viable in practice where I will not have physical access to the raspberry, I am currently reviewing the client, perhaps there is a problem there.


yes, that’s a bug. my fault for only testing with one device while updating the extension to use our commander service instead of direct ssh. from the screenshot, a .split(\n) needs and extra \.
I’ll fix this up in the next couple of days.

Hi @williangalvani ,

I installed yesterday the USBIP extension on my BlueBoat under the BlueOS.
Sorry for my basic question: after installed, the extension starts when I turn on the BlueBoat/BlueOS?
I’m trying to communicate with my laptop connected to the network with the blueboat but I have problems.
In particular I installed the client USPIP-win2 and when i try to connect to the BlueBoat at 192.168.2.2 I receive an error as you can see in the attached image.

Please, could you give me some suggestion?

Thank you in advance,
Mik
