Compatable with 2.4.27?

[Mark Theodore Tomczak]

Greetings!

I am wondering if anyone has successfully compiled and used x10dev
(version 1) with the 2.4.27 Linux build? I'm attempting to do so
(specifically, Debian-linux 2.4.27-2-386), and the source code appears to
build and install correctly. But whenever I attempt to send data to
/dev/x10/(anything), I receive a "device not found" error. What might I
have missed---or more generally, what might cause a "Device not found"
error?

Thank you for any help you can provide on this issue!

Sincerely,
Mark

Mark,

What transceiver are you using?

The message you are getting is usually received whenever you try to access
the driver but without having the daemon running.  If you are using the
CM11A or the PowerLink serial, you need to have the daemon running that
connects to the serial stack.

If you are using the PowerLinc USB, it is very likely that the problem is
due to some change in the USB stack.  The USB stack in the 2.4 series was
being modified so often that I had to go to the 2.X series of the driver to
get away from the constant kernel changes.

I haven't compiled the drivers or tested them with 2.4.27.

Scott,

I'm currently using the PowerLinc USB transceiver, so I suspect it's  
the stack issue. This is probably a good time to try upgrading to 2.6  
anyway ;)

Is there a daemon involved with the PowerLinc USB transceiver at all?  
I'll look into that before building a new kernel if that might be the  
issue.

I'm also seeing a lack of /dev/x10/log preventing me from x10logd (my  
mistake if that's the wrong name for the logger daemon; I'm currently  
away from my workstation). What part of the build process generates /
dev/x10/log?

Thank you for the help!

-Mark

/dev/x10/log only shows you the transactions on the line.  Look in
/var/log/messages for what is going on with the driver.

For the PowerLink USB, there is no userspace driver to be installed.
Everything is in the device driver.  

Upgrading your system to kernel 2.6 is going to be quite a task because you
have a lot of things you have to do to the system to get it to support the
2.6 kernel.  So, this would be my path of last resort.  Did you try building
the 2.x series on your system?  If they fixed the issue with multi-byte USB
communications in the kernel in the 2.4 kernel the drivers should work.  It
doesn't hurt to try this path, but your chance of success is slim.

I don't really have any other advice for you.  If you do upgrade to the 2.6
kernel you will find that the drivers are much more stable for the USB
system.
