[Ftdi-usb-sio-devel] Linux thin client -> usb badge reader

From: Roeland M. <ro...@mo...> - 2009-01-16 23:17:38

I have a linux thin client where I would like to attach an usb badge  
reader.
This badge reader should be available as a normal serial port.

I have this in /proc/bus/usb/devices:

T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0403 ProdID=6001 Rev= 4.00
S:  Manufacturer=FTDI
S:  Product=USB <-> Serial
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 90mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms

"Driver=(none)"
Is there a kernel (2.6.15.7) module I need to load first?

When removing and attaching the device I get this in dmesg
usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4

How to proceed? Any tips are welcome.

Thanks,

Roeland

I think your kernel may be to old for the following to work:
echo 0403 6001 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id, if so,
get the  ftdi_serial driver code, add the VendorID:Product id pair to
the header file,
recompile and modprobe as usual.

Use lsusb -v,
udevmonitor (udevadm monitor --env)
udevinfo, etc. to investigate

It seems the module ftdi_sio is not on the system.
The HP thin client uses a 64MB flash card with a debian live based  
image.
It uses squashfs. /lib is read-only and no compile tools installed.
Won't be easy to add it I'm afraid.

The reader works fine on a normal (and newer) debian live image.

you can un-compres the squashfs image, add the module (compiled for
your kernel version) and recompres. As long as you have a reasonably
close dev environment on another machine you should be able to pull it
off.
In short, I would:
- get a precompiled debian kernel of the same version than your image,
-  extract the ftdi module from it
- copy the image from the SD card to disk
- uncompress
- add the module
- fiddle with /etc/bashrc or similar in the image to load the module
with the VendorID/ProductID as previously noted
- squash
- copy the image back to the card
- test
