NAME
usbipd - USB/IP server daemon
SYNOPSIS
usbipd [options]
DESCRIPTION
usbipd provides USB/IP clients access to exported USB devices.
Devices have to explicitly be exported using usbip bind before usbipd
makes them available to other hosts.
The daemon accepts connections from USB/IP clients on TCP port 3240 by
default.
OPTIONS
-4, --ipv4
Bind to IPv4. Default is both.
-6, --ipv6
Bind to IPv6. Default is both.
-e, --device
Run in device mode. Rather than drive an attached device, create
a virtual UDC to bind gadgets to.
-D, --daemon
Run as a daemon process.
-d, --debug
Print debugging information.
-PFILE, --pid FILE
Write process id to FILE.
If no FILE specified, use /var/run/usbipd.pid
-tPORT, --tcp-port PORT
Listen on TCP/IP port PORT.
-h, --help
Print the program help message and exit.
-v, --version
Show version.
LIMITATIONS
usbipd offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any USB/IP
client can connect and use exported devices.
EXAMPLES
server:# modprobe usbip-host
server:# usbipd -D
- Start usbip daemon.
server:# usbip list --local
- List driver assignments for usb devices.
server:# usbip bind --busid=1-2
- Bind usbip-host.ko to the device of busid 1-2.
- A usb device 1-2 is now exportable to other hosts!
- Use 'usbip unbind --busid=1-2' when you want to shutdown ex-
porting and use the device locally.
The following example shows the usage of device mode
server:# modprobe usbip-vudc
- Use /sys/class/udc/ interface.
- usbip-host is independent of this module.
server:# usbipd -e -D
- Start usbip daemon in device mode.
server:# modprobe g_mass_storage file=/tmp/tmp.img
- Bind a gadget to usbip-vudc.
- in this example, a mass storage gadget is bound.
server:# usbip list --device
- List gadgets exported by local usbipd server.
server:# modprobe -r g_mass_storage
- Unbind a gadget from usbip-vudc.
- in this example, the previous mass storage gadget is unbound.
