# USBCore

> USBCore is an RDP-first remote USB orchestration project for planning, executing, and validating USB attach flows over existing secure transports.

USBCore focuses on observable remote USB workflows instead of a custom USB-over-IP daemon. The current path uses Linux USB discovery, FreeRDP USB redirection, URBDRC dynamic virtual channels, Windows Plug and Play materialization, and evidence bundles that can be inspected after an attach session.

## Core Topics

- remote USB orchestration
- USB over RDP
- RDP USB redirection
- FreeRDP USB redirection
- URBDRC dynamic virtual channel
- RDPDR and Terminal Services policy
- Windows Plug and Play redirection
- Linux USB sysfs discovery
- libusb hotplug and control transfers

- USB session journaling
- evidence-driven validation
- QEMU Windows Server 2025 validation
- Samsung Android ADB over RDP
- WINUSB ADB Interface materialization
- same-path rebind across USB re-enumeration

## What USBCore Does

- scans Linux USB devices from sysfs
- filters Linux root hubs from user-facing USB device lists
- scores host readiness through `usbcore doctor`
- resolves USB devices by identity, VID/PID, bus path, and capability hints
- generates reviewable RDP attach plans
- launches FreeRDP/URBDRC attach sessions
- exports session journals and validation artifacts
- validates whether Windows materialized redirected USB devices through PnP

## Validated Path

The current validated path is:

```text
USB device
-> Linux host
-> USBCore attach plan
-> FreeRDP URBDRC
-> encrypted RDP session
-> Windows Plug and Play
-> ADB / MIDI / USB interface materialization
```

The most specific field validation uses a Samsung Android device, FreeRDP 3.5.1 with a client-side URBDRC rebind patch, QEMU Windows Server 2025, `RDS-RD-Server`, and Windows PnP evidence showing ADB reaching `device` state.
