Hello,
I'm using an OpenWRT system (MIPSEL) as an USB server and a Debian 10 VM (QEMU) as a client.
I've installed the latest VirtualHere version for the server and the GUI client.
I would like to share an evaluation board based on the USB chip FTDI FT2232H (dual serial link with JTAG capabilities: ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1) between the server and the client.
The connection seems to be ok
....

But when I would like to program the evaluation board, one on the USB port is disconnected and I get errors

[ 313.498712] ftdi_sio 2-1:1.0: device disconnected

[ 313.884911] vhci_hcd: unlink->seqnum 328
[ 313.885134] vhci_hcd: urb->status -104
The link is at high speed 480 Mbit/s but the evaluation board is also compatible with full speed 12 Mbit/s
Any help would be much appreciated
Kind regards,

Can you post /var/log/syslog from the server
Hi Michael,
Hi Michael,
Here is the log file generated by the server daemon (just removed date & time)

I think you should try a later debian, the kernel 4.19 is quite old
.
Hi Michael,
Good point, I've upgraded the Debian 10 kernel from 4.19 to 5.10
Linux stellar 5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.70-1~bpo10+1 (2021-10-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Unfortunately I get the same URB issues.
Do you have any other test ?
Regards,
.
I have two other ideas.
1. Stop the virtualhere server on the mips device and then edit the config.ini file and add the line
ClaimPorts=1save the config.ini file and start the server.
2. Right click on the FT device in the virtualhere client, select Custom Event Handler and paste in exactly this line:
onReset.$VENDOR_ID$.$PRODUCT_ID$=then press OK and try to use it.
if that still doesnt work then i dont think it will work via VirtualHere unfortunately.
.
Michael, thank you very much for your suggestions but unfortunately I still have issues.
It seems that the data transfer is in burst mode and I think there may be an overrun/overflow problem.
The FTDI works at 480 Mbit/s or at 12 Mbit/s, is there a possibility to force the communication link to 12 Mbit/s?
Regards,

No its an electrical change which modifies the speed, software cant do it.
What is your latency like? In the virtualhere client right click USB Hubs-About->Statistics.
