Hi OK, little explanation. I have made a software that runs on Linux and collects data from other devices by radio frequency. This software is small, so I run this on computers like raspberry. I intend to sell my software along with hardware to regular customers or actually to integrators who needs to perform some configuration of this software prior to installing it in end user houses. Many of these integrators are not experienced with Linux. If I say to them log into something like raspberry (without even a screen) prepare postgresql database dump, load database and so on... then I'm already lost, no one will do it. What I came up with instead is that I prepare two applications. One will be running on linux box constantly, and other will have gui and can be run either on windows or on linux. In that gui application technician will be able to load database dump, files, configurations and send it to Linux box by usb cable. On the Linux box my app will handle all configurations. In this approach technician does not need to know anything about linux. Little Linux box that will be run at homes with different tcp/ip settings does not need to be preconfigured, because USB port will always work, just plug special USB cable and If you have soft on your laptop you can configure server. Now, I have some experience with libusb and if this usb bridge cable allows me to talk to other computer as If I was talking to a regular usb device, then I don't see why this would not work. Or correct me if I'm wrong. best regards Marek -- 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
