Appendix D – Installing with Linux
Building and Installing the TI USB Driver from the TGZ Package
You need the TI USB tgz package for this step. The Introduction section above describes where to find the latest TI USB tgz package.
Log in as root and do the following:
Command | Explanation |
|
|
1. tar xvzf ti_usb‐X.Y.tgz | Un‐package the files. |
|
|
2. cd ti_usb‐X.Y |
|
|
|
3. ./configure | Configure the package for your distribution |
| and kernel. |
|
|
4. make | Build the driver. |
|
|
5. make install | Install the ti_usb driver. |
|
|
If there are problems in this process, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as described above.
Loading the TI USB Driver
The ti_usb driver should be automatically loaded when you plug in the TI USB 3410 device, provided your device uses the default vendor and product ids. If it does not, see the section entitled "VENDOR and PRODUCT IDS" in the Release Notes file for Linux 2.4 kernel installations.
The first TI USB 3410 device plugged in appears as /dev/ttyTIUSB0, the next as /dev/ttyTIUSB1, and so on.
Note that these device names are different from the device names used by the Linux usbserial driver. For more information, see the following section “Device Files”.
If TI USB devices had been in use before installing the new TI USB driver, old versions of the drivers are still be loaded. You must unload these old versions before the newly installed driver can be used.
To unload old drivers and load new driver:
1.Reboot Or
2.Close all open TI USB serial ports.
3.Disconnect the TI USB serial devices.
4.Unload the old TI USB serial driver with the command rmmod ti_usb
5.Reconnect the TI USB serial devices and the new driver is loaded.
