USB Over Ethernet

jackly87 · 04-13-2018, 04:15 AM

I am doing an experiment on USB Over IP - Linux Kernel 4.16.0 . But failed to work it with Logitech USB Web Cam.

Below is my experiment details :-

I downloaded the Linux kernel 4.16.0 from https://github.com/torvalds/linux and build it for my Ubuntu machine . I use the same config file of my existing Ubuntu machine. Rebooted my machine with kernel 4.16.0 . Please see below

$$OptiPlex-380 4.16.0-custom #1 SMP Wed Apr 11 11:54:04 IST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Also i build usbip application corresponding to this kernel. The usbip application source is obtained from https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tr...ools/usb/usbip

Thus i ensured that both Drivers and USB IP application are compatible . I successfully shared USB Mass storage device over USB IP without any issues .

Now i will explain my problem. I tried to share Logitech USB Web camera through USB IP utility. Server and Client are running on same machine and i am trying to share device via local host. On server side Web Camera listed and successfully exported . Please see the below log

sudo ./usbip list -l
- busid 2-1 (0461:4d81)
Primax Electronics, Ltd : Dell N889 Optical Mouse (0461:4d81)

- busid 4-2 (0461:4e04)
Primax Electronics, Ltd : unknown product (0461:4e04)

- busid 1-8 (046d:082d)
Logitech, Inc. : HD Pro Webcam C920 (046d:082d)

sudo ./usbip bind -b 1-8
usbip: info: bind device on busid 1-8: complete

On client Side , I could successfully attach this Web Cam. Now i got /dev/video0 interface and lsusb command showing the details of WebCam. After that i try to stream the web cam video through vlc player application, but streaming not started and vlc application terminated with below error message

[00007f9d94000ff8] v4l2 demux error: cannot open device '/dev/video0': Device or resource busy
[00007f9d94000ff8] v4l2 demux error: cannot open device '/dev/video0': Device or resource busy
[00007f9d94000ff8] v4l2 access error: cannot open device '/dev/video0': No such file or directory
[00007f9d900009b8] core input error: open of `v4l2:///dev/video0' failed

Please find the below kernel messages received, when i started video streaming. Note that USB IP Debug is enabled on kernel menuconfig
