I want to run a Linux based device application without hardware

Question

Hi all,

Is there any simulation environment that allows to run and test Linux based USB device application on host machine running Linux?

Also same thing for Linux based USB host side applications where one can run and test Linux based host applications with physical/virtual USB devices.

Regards, Mooni

Answer 1

Yes. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1913979/how-to-emulate-usb-devices

Answer 2

Are you asking if it's possible to use a general purpose PC to simulate a USB device? If so, no, the hardware on, say, your motherboard is not physically capable (in almost all cases) of emulating a USB client device.
