Where is the AMT USBR Protocol implementation?

[jic5760]

Hello.

I am trying to implement USBR using RedirectionLib.
But USBRProtocol.h, TCPUSBRProtocol.h and USBR related class files are not in amt-sdk-18.0-1-1.zip.

Where can I download the documentation and class files for USBR Protocol?

I found a similar question here: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-vPro-Platform/How-can-i-get-USB-R-spec-document/td-p/1637292 But it doesn't help.

Hello jic5760,

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

I don't use Intel EMA at all.
The purpose is to use USBR by implementing APF, AMT protocols directly.
I don't need a manual, I need a protocol spec or library.

Hello jic5760,

Good day!

I wanted to inform you that the USBR feature was implemented on Intel EMA. I recommend reviewing the developer documentation available at the following link: https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/WordDocuments/informationforintelvprogatewaydevelopers.htm

Information for Intel® vPro™ Gateway Developers

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

Additionally, I suggest reading the EMA article https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000060040/software/manageability-products.html This resource provides a clear understanding of how the OS reinstallation process works.

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