Hi I have a USB 3.0 host to host cable, and I'd like to know how I can get the host-to-host example working? CyUSB can't seem to enumerate any devices when I run 07_bulkreader or 07_bulkwriter in cyusb_linux_1.0.4/src/. I also don't see the any enumerated devices mentioned in the source code itself.

   

I've connected the cable in a loopback configuration to itself, but it doesn't seem to work.

   

Do I need an FX3 connected somehow?

   

Thanks,

Hi,

   

The Bulkreader/bulkwriter would work only for FX3.

   

Have you connected a 3rd party Host to Host Cable?

 Can you explain how to properly connect the FX3? Do I need two FX3's?

   

The I have a superspeed kit that has a female USB 3.0 B port, but the sample suggests using the USB 3.0 male A-to-male-A which I have.

   

Between my computer and the FX3, what is the proper configuration to get it working?

   

Thanks!

 Hi Madhu,

   

Is there a good source of documentation as to how to setup 07_bulkreader and bulkwriter samples? I have one FX3 Superspeed Explorer Kit and one USB 3.0 host-to-host cable? Is there anything else I need to set this up?

   

Thanks,

   

Jonathan
