I have a AM335X ARM processor on a custom board. I am running angstrom linux 3.2.0 on it.
My build environment is a 64 bit laptop running Ubuntu 12.0.4.
I was hoping (I am a newbie), someone could explain what I need to do to configure the board (and host desktop) to run SSH over USB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
It depends whether you have OTG port or not. If yes, you should configure it to emulate a network device. Connect your board to your laptop and you should see a new networking device (usb0 or something like this). Configure IP addresses for both host usb0 and one on your board and you're done having an extra IP subnet, where you can ping, SSH etc.

Step by step:
My PC has connected printer via USB (I know VID:XXXX and PID:YYYY)
I took image of my PC and put inside virtual machine (VMWare)
Of course image on my VM doesn't has connected USB-printer (because real printer is connected to my real USB-port on my real PC).
One program is running and checking accessibility of printer by check connection with the printer via USB (I don't know how exactly - maybe via WMI, maybe via other way).
Results:
a) on my real PC this program works
b) on image doesn't work
QUESTION: is possible to emulate on VM-side that USB-port (VID:XXXX and PID:YYYY) is alive?
Thanks.
P.S. I don't want to install USB-redirect-via-TCP or similar approach.
You should switch to the QEMU emulator and to Linux to do that. VMWare probably doesn't support this of thing especially in a Windows environment.
If you are already on Linux, QEMU has hardware emulation of the xHCI and you can assign the host USB devices to KVM (read here: https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/USB_Host_Device_Assigned_to_Guest).
On Windows, I don't think this will be possible.
I'm trying to implement a USB gadget using Linux on NXP iMX6 which implements an isochronous IN endpoint but got stuck as the gadget application on the iMX6 seems to hang, and eventually resulting a reboot of my i.MX6 platform.
Started with the usb.c example from http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/usb.c and modifying it for the iMX6.
The Linux Kernel used for this development is Ver. 4.1.15.
Then, mounting the gadgetfs framework using:
modprobe gadgetfs
mkdir /dev/gadget
mount -t gadgetfs none /dev/gadget
This results in a 2184000.usb file in the /dev/gadget directory.
Modified the usb.c example to look for this 2184000.usb file and fill a set of USB descriptors. The host computer did recognizing the iMX6 as a USB device with the USB descriptors which I configured. But then, the gadget application on the i.MX6 seems to just hang and then reboot my Linux platform eventually.
Has anyone experience the same situation and got a solution? Please can you share source code or suggestion? Thanks!
I would like to ask about the way how to establish remote connection to Linux based embedded device in the field.
I have a small linux board I want to place in remote location. It has an internet access through ethernet. Than I have a Linux server with public IP to be able to tunnel connection.
And finally, I want to connect from my PC to this device.
I don't feel yet competent enough to code my own tcp sockets etc. to reroute the connection :) So what would be the easiest way to do that only with available linux tools? And BusyBox toolset on endpoints.
Thank's a lot!
I think that using OpenVPN would be a easy way to tunnel to the device. You can cross compile it and set it up as a client on the embedded device. Then you install it on your Linux box and set it up as a server.
Finally you install it on your work PC and set up as a client there.
It gives you a virtual network where all clients can talk to each other like they would be on a local network.
I up the Centos image using VirtualBox ,clone image and convert it into Qcow2 format and tried up using Virt-manager. But i found interface not available in VM.
It displays
"Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seems to be present,"
I also tried removing the presistance rules , chkconfig network on and rebooting VM.
But could not able to achieving the interface in VM.
Please advice me with any ideas.
This issue was due to NIC Device model ,
Base machine NIC driver was e1000 and VM it was set as rtl8139. Beacuse of which eth ports are not displayed.
Once i changed to correct e1000 driver. it works.
New learning. Things that can be added into checklist. :)
I'm trying to do mobile application development (BlackBerry, Android) on a virtual machine. My idea is that no matter what desktop I'm on I can open a remote connection to the virtual machine and have my mobile development environment ready. The problem is that I would like to deploy code to the mobile device as if it were physically connected to the virtual machine. Ideally the devices will be plugged in to the client machine that is creating the remote connection.
I'm currently using VMWare workstation to manage my virtual machines, I've done a bit of research to see what the best solution for connecting my usb devices over the network is.
There are a multitude of pricey USB over network solutions that may or may not work for what I'm trying, but I would like to avoid those. I would be interested in a free open source solution where both the usb host and usb client are windows machines. This is close to what I am looking for http://usbip.sourceforge.net/, but you can't host a device from Windows.
It appears that I may be able to do this with a Hyper-V VM and RemoteFX through Microsoft RDC, but I would like this to work on my existing VMWare VM.
The quickest solution I've found is a network usb hub that would allow me to connect the devices over the network, but this would force me to be attached to the hub which is a problem if more people come on my project.
Ideally I'm looking for an existing software solution to my problem. Any suggestions?
Also can anyone confirm this would work in Hyper-V using RemoteFX?
I would consider porting your VM over to VirtualBox from Sun (now Oracle) they have remote USB support out-of-the-box, and are very stable.
I've ported machines the other way (for work) and it's not difficult.
