USB Server & USB Client installation troubleshooter:
If you've got an error during driver compilation, while installing USB Server and USB Client for Linux, please follow these instructions to compile a driver manually.
Some USB Server & USB Client components are operating in kernel mode. So, you need to compile the special driver to install our software product. Source code of this driver is in
|
To compile USB Server & USB Client for Linux please use FULL kernel source codes! If you use header files only, please check the presence of the: - ~linux-source-directory/drivers/usb/core/hcd.h - ~linux-source-directory/drivers/usb/core/hub.h If there are no such files, please copy them from source code package of your kernel version. |
Default Makefile is searching for kernel source codes in /usr/src/linux directory to compile the driver. If your kernel is in the other directory, you need to point its location in the file system using KERNELDIR variable:

After successful driver compilation there will be tusbd.ko file in the /modules/src/tusbd/ directory. This file is necessary for USB Server operation.

If you get an:

Notification for Linux kernels 2.6.25 through 2.6.28.8:
|
|
Kernels versions 2.6.25 through 2.6.28.8 have a bug with EHCI USB controllers that leads to large memory leaks with isochronous devices like Webcams or Sound cards. If you have patched your kernel against this bug - please manually recompile the driver executing 'make USE_EHCI_FIX=n' command. Otherwise USB Server will try to automatically walk around this bug (without guaranties) See http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13428/ for more information. Please do not worry about this warning if you are not going to use USB 2.0 isochronous devices on your system. |
USB Server uninstallation:
To uninstall USB Server please run installation script installer.sh with "uninstall" parameter. It is located in the same directory where USB Server was installed. Default it is "/usb/local/usb-server" directory.
|
|
Installation script will remove installed components of USB Server program packet from your computer.
USB Server autostart:
Please use rc.usbsrvd script that is installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d directory to start USB Server automatically.
