USBIP kernel modules for 386.7_2 RT-AX3000 (usbip.ko usbip_common_mod.ko and vhci-hcd.ko)

[tooandrew]

is there a way to add
usbip.ko
usbip_common_mod.ko
and
vhci-hcd.ko

to the kernel? i found some modules but i couldnt insmod them because i guess they were for a different kernel?
i don't really know much about compiling software, or how to set up the appropriate toolchain or anything like that.

i'd be willing to try to learn but i feel like im more likely to brick my router trying to flash an image i compiled myself than i am to get usbip working.
if someone could shoot me modules compiled for 4.1.52 that would be awesome - if that is even how this works?

It would probably help if you describe the solution you're looking for...

It would probably help if you describe the solution you're looking for...

the solution im looking for is usb over ip from the router to my windows pc - i have gotten it running on a raspberry pi, and i needed those kernel modules to get it to work.

GitHub - cezanne/usbip-win: USB/IP for Windows

the versions of the modules that i found are not compatible with the current build.

so, what i want is, ideally, someone to compile those modules for armv71 kernel 4.1.52 so i can use insmod to run them.
or, less ideally, someone to help me compile them myself.

i thought i was pretty clear, i listed kernel modules that i needed - sorry if it wasnt as obvious as i thought.

Try Entware.

# opkg list usbip*
usbip - 1.1.1-15 - USB-over-IP (common)
usbip-client - 1.1.1-15 - USB-over-IP (client)
usbip-server - 1.1.1-15 - USB-over-IP (server)

You have this running on an RPi - not sure that anything else is needed here...

The Pi is going to offer more SW solutions than AsusWRT is...

usbip - 1.1.1-15 - USB-over-IP (common)
usbip-client - 1.1.1-15 - USB-over-IP (client)
usbip-server - 1.1.1-15 - USB-over-IP (server)

i have entware installed and i installed usbip. i can find usbipd in /tmp/mnt/entware/entware/sbin but calling just usbip to mount the usb devices to the network returns -sh: usbip: not found, and usbipd is not helpful without devices to share

i understand, but the pi is a mess of cables and asuswrt is running linux too, theres no reason to have an extra thing dangling from the router.

yes, i installed usbip and usbip-server but the command usbip returns not found

additionally, running usbipd returns
"
usbipd: error: please load usbip-core.ko and usbip-host.ko!"

 

[ColinTaylor]

Did you install usbip-client?

additionally, running usbipd returns
"
usbipd: error: please load usbip-core.ko and usbip-host.ko!"

Did you load the modules?

 

[tooandrew]

Did you install usbip-client?


Did you load the modules?

i haven't found the modules anywhere and no, i didnt think i would need client because i am trying to use it as a server. but the client does allow the command to be run, so thanks.

EDIT: ohh, modprobe them
module usbip-host.ko not found in modules.dep im digging around in /lib/modules and not seeing them

thank you, but i have the same problem with the debug option

usbip: error: unable to bind device on 1-1.3
admin@RT-AX3000-D8B8:/tmp/home/root#

additionally the usbipd daemon itself wont start without the modules. im attempting to build from source with the correct kernels now, we'll see how that goes.

i believe the router does have them bound to something as i can find the actual name elsewhere but usbip reports unknown as device name

 

[sfx2000]

ok... I'm going to assume that the USB device is attached to the router...

with entware - try...

opkg update && opkg install usbutils

this will install lsusb, which is important...

thank you, i do have usbutils installed
like i said, i can find the names elsewhere (like with lsusb - the devices in question are the valve software watchman dongle.) my running theory is the driver that shares printers has bound them but im not sure how to do anything about that . reading the linked post now - none of the listed modules in step two are available in my repo (which is updated)

looks like i incorrectly configured my build env somehow - build was failing on /scripts/mod/empty.o , file doesnt exist.

 

[PeterR]

Alternatively use the server from Virtualhere.

 

[tooandrew]

after a lot of fracking around i finally built it successfully but i have a .w file instead of a .trx . can i extract modules from this?

 

[RMerlin]

Copy the .ko file from within the build directory, much simpler than unpacking a multi-component image.

valve software watchman dongle

IS this the device you are trying to share?

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 28de:2101 Valve Software Watchman Dongle
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 28de:2101 Valve Software Watchman Dongle

It's a multi-function device - see the stackexchange link I mentioned earlier...

usbip bind --busid=1-1.3:1.0 produces

could not unbind driver from device on busid 1-1.3:1.0

it doesn't work either way.

i did successfully build, include the modules, and flash. now usbipd starts successfully but i still can't mount the device. all the appropriate modules are loaded as far as i can tell

how can i configure the it to build the usbip binaries in /kernel/linux-4.1/tools/usb/usbip ? i think it might be a matter of the kernel modules being a mismatch with the usbip program available on entware
