A Rust library to run a USB/IP server to simulate USB devices and share real USB devices over a network.

USB/IP is a network protocol that allows USB devices to be shared between computers over a network. It enables:

• Device simulation: Create virtual USB devices that can be accessed remotely
• Device sharing: Share physical USB devices from one machine to another
• Cross-platform: Works across different operating systems (Linux, etc.)

Install Rust from the official documentation.

git clone https://github.com/jiegec/usbip.git
cd usbip
cargo build --release

The examples/ directory contains three example programs:

1. hid_keyboard: Simulate a HID keyboard that types something every second
2. cdc_acm_serial: Simulate a CDC ACM serial device that receives a character every second
3. host: Act as a USB/IP server, sharing physical devices from the host machine to remote clients

cargo run --example hid_keyboard

On the client machine (e.g. Linux with USB/IP support):

# List available devices
usbip list -r $remote_ip

# Attach to a device
usbip attach -r $remote_ip -b $bus_id
