I have a CM3 based devterm is USB gadget mode supported by the h/w ?
Thanks,
Andrew
I can only speak to the A06 - I added USB to ethernet dongal Uni brand - it worked on plug inā¦ from Amazon - USB to Ethernet Adapter, uni Driver Free USB 3.0 to 100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter, RJ45 Internet Adapter Compatible with MacBook, Surface,Notebook PC with Windows, XP, Vista, Mac/Linux
I have a usb ethernet dongle I picked up from Pine64 that works on the my CM3+ DevTerm. Plug and play.
I have an old adaptor which Iām not sure is available anymore (I got mine back in 2015 from Amazon for $12). But it is plug and play too. I generally plug it in before turning on the DevTerm (A06), but it is recognized even after I boot up.
(There appear to be newer models of this device that have a 3 port USB hub built in.)

Hi,
Thatās not quite what I mean. I have used ethernet/USB adaptors with the devterm and they work fine.
What Iām asking is about a āUSB Gadgetā . Linux has the facility (where the hardware supports) of being an OTG device.
e.g. I connect USB OTG cable into a windows machine, and into a running devterm. The windows machine will see (at least) a USB ethernet. You can configure a dhcp server on the devterm to provide a limited range of IP address, say with a netmask of 255.255.255.252 allowing only two hosts.
This would allow me to remote desktop into the devterm and use the large monitor and keyboard as if it was connected.
I hope that clears things up a little.
Regards,
Andrew
I thought of that also, but it looks to be more hassle than itās worth. I use Putty with Xming to remotely run individual applications, and X2go if I need a full screen desktop. Both running on cheap old win10 computer.
I have used it before, itā pretty good. Because itās, effectively, a private network you easily copy files both ways. You can also set up the Linux system as a router using itās connection, whatever that may be.
Thanks for the tips.

Forgot to mention I use RDP to get a remote desktop, that works well too.

have you ran RDP on the DevTerm? I tried VNC server but the last time I loaded it to the Clockwork it corrupted my SD cardā¦ may have been a bad update/upgrade session - I have flaky wifi and went to the hardwired ethernet over USB since then and have had less problemsā¦

I tried tightvnc, and it ran fine. RDP was too slow so I installed x2goserver. I use it on all my Linux boxes, I use the x2go windows client to access. I also use Putty and Xming on windows for individual apps as I previously mentioned.
sudo apt install x2goserver
I also recommend installing the Synaptic graphical package manager. It lists all available packages.
sudo apt install synaptic
It shows up in the menu, but for some yet unknown reason, it doesnāt start with sudo privileges. Havenāt tried figured that out yet. For now I just start it in an Xfce terminal:
sudo synaptic&
Stacer is a good graphical system manager:
sudo apt install stacer
Hi,
I do, it runs really well. Responsive enough for serious use.

Is there a specific RPD server you use? Iāve only ever used it to connect to Windows machines, and have usually opted for VNC or another solution. But if the performance is good Iām curious about your setup. Thanks!
Take a look at https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-xrdp-on-ubuntu-18-04/
Start at āInstalling Xrdpā and enter the commands on the devterm
If the machine you are connecting from is also a Linux box, I suggest remmina as the client.
You can also configure a shared drive, which appears on the remmina desktop. This can be used to transfer files back and forth.

I think my RDP speed issues are due to the fact that I am using a 10 year old laptop built for win7 to run the remote clients. 
ā¦re-purpose, re-use!
