UsbIp issues with blueOS

Blue Robotics Software
1

Hello, I am integrating a sonar and RTK GNSS (emlid RS2 receiving RTK via lora from my base) to the blueboat. Both can connect via rs232 9pin male plugs or through a RS232-USB A adapter. I am using the latter as my sonar is powered by a 12V battery.

My laptop is using the native software for my sonar (dual frequency for sub bottom profiling) and hydromagic the geotag the sounding data.

I have used virtualhere with no issues installing the extension which is for one USB port only. However, I cannot get the UsbIp extension to work. It does install fine, but using terminal and using red-pill, I cannot bind the USB to IP. The command is not found. I am trying the to go the freeware way and not pay for virtualhere to allow more than one usb being supported (as suggested by technical support, but I feel now that paying 49 bucks would have been a good investment! :slight_smile: )

I also uninstalled and tried to install UsbIp manually but I am getting some errors.

I am doing something wrong for sure.

Thanks for your help

PS. Once I get this working, I will need to feed the RTK GNSS data to the navigator instead of the onboard GNSS. But that will be for later.

I started from scratch with a new image of blueOS using the latest beta version. I can confirm that the usbip extension after successful install does not work. So, I uninstalled it and installed the latest version manually (using the terminal). Everything installed normally and I can bind the USB just fine. The issue now is that I have a kernel mismatch after running usbipd:
usbip: error: USBIP Kernel and tool version mismatch 18245 273:

oh interesting. Can you check the kernel you are running?
uname -a in red-pill should show it.
The extension might require an update to work with it
