Turn 2 USB type A ports (receptacles) into an extension cable with 2 type A receptacles using Linux?
- by Tianyang Li
I'm currently trying to connect 2 USB devices together, but both ends are type A plugs.
Before I buy a physical extension cords with 2 type A receptacles, I'd like to know if I can connect these 2 devices together at all by passing data "transparently" through a Linux box with = 2 USB ports.
I'm actually trying to connect a keyboard to an Android phone, and I want to first try if it can work by using a Linux box as a "virtual" USB extension cord.
Has anybody done something like this before?
Thanks!
