[TiLP-devel] TI-89t with DirectLink USB doesn't work with 0.13?

[Mike M. <ak...@gm...>]

Hello,

I noticed that you folks had announced preliminary support for the new
DirectLink USB cable that ships with the newer TI-89s.  I just
purchased one today and was hoping to get it up and running.  It
appears, however, that there are still some kinks somewhere along the
line.

I installed tilp-2 from here:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/374/37480.html
and the libraries it depends on from here:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/374/37479.html

I started tilp-2 from the command line, but it didn't detect that
anything was available.  I confirmed that the TI-89 was connected to a
USB port and that it was on.  I then opened the man-page and saw that
the calc can be explicitly specified:

tilp-2 --calc=ti89t --cable=DirectLink

The manpage didn't mention DirectLink, but I assumed that it could be
specified just like the other cables.  I didn' tknow what port to
specify, so I just left it blank.

I added myself to group usb and ensured that I had write access to the
appropriate devices in /proc/bus/usb/*.  Interestingly:

The device is definitely plugged in:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0930:651e Toshiba Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

The only thing different here is that the calc is plugged into a
powered usb hub along with an external hard disk.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

TIA

Mike

Bug in ticables2 v0.0.9. Fixed in 0.1.0. I will upload a new package for
you ASAP.

Hi,

BTW, thank you _very_ much for your exhaustive log. Many users don't thin=

Hi,

About the TI89T-USB & Linux issue, I have proceed into more investigation=
s...

It seems there is a kernel issue aka Titanium is:
- working fine with a 2.4.32 kernel and any libusb version (0.1.9 & 0.1.1=
2),
- is not working with 2.6.7, 2.6.15, 2.6.17 kernels and any libusb versio=
n.

We have a _real_ problem!

Hi,

This issue is due to a bug in the TiglUsb library shipped with our
SilverLink/DirectLink driver.
This bug appears under Windows 98/Me/2000 only.
Library has been fixed and a new package has been upload on ticalc.org.

In the meanwhile, I have discovered that USB naming scheme is not the sam=
e
under XP. Consequently, TiLP can list/probe USB devices under Windows XP
only (at the time being).

I hope to improve that quickly.
