<![CDATA[Onion Omega as wireless USB hub]]>Hi all,

Just putting this here in case it is of use to anyone else. I saw this link here for using the RPI as a wireless usb hub and saw that VirtualHere has a MIPS version. Tried it out and it works a treat with the omega, a lot cheaper than any commercial solution I have seen such as the Belkin Home Hub.

Did you manage to do that?

Note that I have the executable in /root

As for seeing devices from your phone I don't think this is possible as their Android app only acts as a server for Usb devices not a client.

Kind of off-topic... I guess you would have better luck asking your question here:
