usbipd (8)

usbipd [options]

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. The clients authorised to connect may be configured as documented in hosts_access(5).

-4, --ipv4

• Bind to IPv4. Default is both.

-6, --ipv6

• Bind to IPv6. Default is both.

-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.

usbipd offers no authentication or authorization for USB/IP. Any USB/IP client running on an authorised host can connect and use exported devices.

    server:# modprobe usbip

    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 exporting and use the device locally.
