connect to other USB Servers using USBIP from inside WSL

[om327]

Hello,

Sorry this is a very daft question but i'm trying to connect to a USB device in WSL from a RPi runing usbip.

I can pass the device between two RPis, from an RPi to a multipass instance running on Win10 and can also pass the directedly connected device on Win10 to WSL through your usbipd-win package which is awesome!

To allow this to work I've recompiled the standard WSL2 Kernel (5.15.153) tobake in and include the recommended USB and serial modules in the new kernel. In a previous post you mentioned it would be possible to connect from WSL to another IP address using usbip attach -r <IP_ADDRESS> -b <BUS_ID>.

Unfortunately no matter what i do i can't seem to install and run usbip from within WSL - How did you manage to install it?

I know I'm probably missing something simple but since its a port of the stndard ubuntu kernel i can't directly apt install usbip or indirectly from linux-tools-generic/common. I've even tried locally compliling usbip and installing on WSL but still no joy!

As a side, is it also possible to use usbipd-win to connect my RPi USB device to the windows side rather than WSL?

Many thanks!
Ollie
