USB Server (+ USB Client) for Linux

USB Client Usage

Completely new product USB Server + USB Client for Linux version 1.5 Beta is available for beta testing. You can download beta-version from here.

Before evaluation please install version 1.5 both on the Client and Server computers. Currently beta version does not save a configuration for Client. Therefore after daemon restart please add usbserver once again.

If you get any bugs or errors (Kernel Panic and so on) during the beta-testing please send us the following information so we could fix everything:

1. What Operating System do you use (distributive name, kernel version)?

2. What exactly USB device you are testing (full name, model)?

3. Error description.

4. Stack back trace (if it is possible).

Thank you for your attention. Awaiting your feedback.
