How can i get USB-R spec document

siwon — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 05:16:59 GMT

I wanted to implement USB-R in java language, so I looked up the spec document,
but I couldn't find it.

So I tried to refer to the USB-R related implementation in "amt-sdk-18-0-1-1", but the implementation code did not exist as below. (TCPUSBRProtocol.h file not found)

also, looked for "Meshcommander" or "Open AMT Cloud Toolkit" but there was nothing about USB-R.

Is there a document that I can refer to?

Hello Siwon,

Good day.

I see you are trying to use Intel AMT. Could you provide more details about the environment or scenario in which you are referring to the USB-R implementation in amt-sdk-18-0-1-1.

Please find the link below and let us know if it was helpful:

Hello Suneesh,

Currently, JDK17 has implemented IDE-R using netty library(network application framework), and when you upload an ISO file, the iso file is attached to the Cd-ROM.

(run on linux environment)

I did a Windows 11 installation test, but it was too slow, so I saw a question from the intel community while trying to find a solution to it. (https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-vPro-Platform/IDE-R-network-speed-limitation/m-p/1310134#M8657)

I'm trying to implement USB-R with tcp communication but I can't find any related documents and USB-R implementation code(I looked up amt-sdk-18-0-1-1.zip, ui-toolkit and MeshCommander)

Unfortunately, the link you delivered was not helpful

Thank you.

Hello Siwon,

Good day.

Please find the details below:

Section 1.2.8, USB Redirection, in the Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA) Administration and Usage Guide (version: 1.5.1, August 18, 2021), provides information on this feature. You can access the guide here: (https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/software/manageability-products/intel-ema-admin-and-usage-guide.pdf#page=13)

The USB Redirection (USBR) feature of Intel EMA allows you to mount a remote disk image (.iso or .img) to a managed endpoint via Intel AMT.

You can use this feature to mount a bootable image file and reboot a managed endpoint to a mounted image file or browse the mounted image content from the console of the managed endpoint via KVM (image must contain USB keyboard and mouse drivers for KVM interaction).

The following table lists the minimum Intel AMT versions required on endpoints to use USBR over CIRA:

Intel AMT Version Build Number

Intel AMT 11.8 all

Intel AMT 12 12.0.70.1607 or later

Intel AMT 14 14.0.45.1341 or later

Intel AMT 15 all

Hello Suneesh,

I've looked at all the documents you gave me and EMA is often mentioned in USB-R

Do I have to use EMA to use USB-R?

I am currently building my own MPS server to use AMT functionality. (running linux)

However, the EMA server does not support Linux

I wanted to implement the USBR function on my own, but I asked because I didn't have a document to refer to it.

Thank you.

Hello Siwon,

Good day!

Intel implemented USB Redirection (USBR) via EMA. Please remember that AMT uses the processor and memory, which may result in slower performance.

I encourage you to read the article below, as it provides more details on how to perform OS reinstallation:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000060040/software/manageability-products.html

Additionally, I am attaching some useful documentation regarding AMT for developers:

Information for Intel® vPro™ Gateway Developers

https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/WordDocuments/informationforintelvprogatewaydevelopers.htm

Please focus on the section: Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) protocol.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Hello Suneesh,

If I can do USBR only through EMA now, it's not the right solution for me.

Thank you for your answer.
