Hi We are working on a project where a user-space application (a device emulator) creates a USB device on the host machine (thus allowing the emulated device to emulate a USB slave and to act as a usb dongle on the host machine). We have done this using usbip so far, but we'd rather do it directly: for that envision to have a vhci_hcd kernel module driver, with hooks to the user-space to set-up the device & handle the data. How would that fit within the current usb work in the linux kernel? We can work on this as an independent project, but would want it to be integrated to the main linux development at one point if it is possible. I have noticed that, in the file vhci_hcd.c from drivers/usb/usbip, there is this comment: * - move the emulation code to userland ? * porting to other operating system * minimize kernel code Would that correspond to our intent? What is the planned time frame for this (depending on the answers, we will go ahead with our development, or wait). Are there any links with the (not very active) development done for https://sourceforge.net/p/usb-vhci/wiki/Home/ ? thanks for your input, stephane bryant -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
