Are you sure that usb3 a-to-a cable allows not only debugging (kernel.org/doc/html/v4.16/driver-api/usb/usb3-debug-port.html - needs xHCI debug capability DbC, which is optional for xHCI usb3 host controllers), but also file transfer? For file transfer there are active cables (with controller in middle), some listed at: ghisler.com/cables | |
| Aug 28, 2017 at 23:50 | comment | added | bobpaul | I found a cable as described in 5.5.2 (no VCC or D+/D- connected, USB 3.0 pins are connected as crossover), but they claim it's for debugging only & that Mac, Linux, and Windows don't support host-to-host file transfers. datapro.net/products/… I have found bridge cables, such as this: startech.com/Networking-IO/USB-PS2/… Bridge cables like this do NOT conform to section 5.5.2 of the USB spec and are active devices which need a driver. I'm unable to verify linux support. | |
