It is suited for Wireless LAN Routers and other network devices with USB host ports to add the capability of connecting USB multifunction printers, USB storage, and other USB devices to the network. The device manufacturer will be able to offer their customers a very easy to use solution, with very low support costs.   Features/Benefits The Silex USB/IP Firmware SDK includes Source Code, Linux Demonstration Code (with Linux Kernel 2.6.15 - 2.6.19), API Documentation.  The SDK is uses only 50KB of ROM and can can be used with any version of Linux compiler. - External hardware- for enabling network connectivity - Embedded hardware- to redesign products, cost-effect design - Embedded software - For the lowest cost solution - Porting and support services - can choose to do their own porting of SX-TCP Specifications The SX Virtual USB SDK includes the following items: Source code Kernel module Sample daemon program Documentation SXUPTP API SXUPTP protocol specification (data transport protocol) JCP protocol specification (Control/Config protocol (procedure and data format)) Notes: JCP will be limited to the command subset which is necessary for USB device server operation only. Isochronous data transfer (webcams, audio devices) is not supported at this time. Silex can Investigate adding isochronous USB data transfer support upon customer request.
