Appendix B – Linux Installations

Build and Install the TI USB Driver from the Source RPM Package

Follow this step if your distribution supports RPM packages; otherwise, follow the next step on installing from a TGZ package.

You will need the TI USB source RPM package for this step. The Introduction section above describes where to find the latest TI USB source RPM.

Log in as root and do the following:

Command

Explanation

 

 

1.

This command builds the driver package

 

for your kernel.

rpmbuild --rebuild ti_usb-X.Y-Z.src.rpm

For Red Hat.

-- OR --

 

rpm --rebuild ti_usb-X.Y-Z.src.rpm

For SUSE.

 

 

2.

 

cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

For Red Hat.

-- OR --

 

cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386

For SUSE.

 

Or use the appropriate path for your Linux

 

distribution.

 

 

3. rpm -Uvh ti_usb-X.Y-Z.i386.rpm

This command installs the driver package.

 

 

 

 

If there are problems in this process, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as described above. You may need to remove the RPM package with "rpm -e ti_usb-X.Y-Z" or remove RPM temporary files. Red Hat stores RPM temporary files in /var/tmp and /usr/src/redhat/BUILD; other distributions may store them in other places.
