Guide to sharing a phone's network with the RDK S100 via USB

1 reports · 1 sources

D-Robotics community user "Guazai" published a hands-on record explaining executable steps for sharing a phone's network over USB on the RDK S100, noting that the official documentation does not cover this path. The author first verified on the S100 whether the kernel includes the rndis_host, cdc_ether, and cdc_ncm drivers, then provided specific operating instructions. According to the author's explanation, where the phone can be connected is limited by the USB interfaces: Type-C (J16) can only act as Device, and USB3.0 Type-A (J19/J20) can only act as Host. Therefore, the phone must be connected to a Type-A port, with the board acting as host.
