|
|
| A: |
We
don't provide the ARM Linux source code for customer. The Linux
kernel and file system is built-in our product not
an add-on package.
What customer need to do is just upload his
"ARM Linux executable binary
file" to our products. We will maintain the
core and driver, we suggest
customer force in the application program instead of
Linux Kernel. |
| Q: |
I
read in the Installation Guide that the serial adaptor Prolific
2303 is supported and built-in kernel. I need to use
the FTDI FT232
serial adaptor in order to use some other I/O
modules ; I said: is the
FTDI driver built-in in the kernel, too? If not, is
it possible to
have the module to load? |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
Exactly,
FTDI driver wasn't built-in in the kernel. Yes, we can build the
driver module for customers. |
| Q: |
The
board should have 32MB RAM and 8MB flash. Using the "df"
command I can see 4MB flash disk and 8MB ramdisk.
How can I check the total amount of RAM?
Why I can see only 4MB flash? |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
EX9486-2L
is equipped with 8MB flash and it was divided into 4 partitions.
'df' shows the capacity of mounted devices, so users only get
the information of ramdisk and user disk. Users can type
"cat /proc/mtd" to get flash partitions information.
Similarly, "cat /proc/meminfo" or "free" can
get the RAM information. |
| Q: |
Well,
I need the FTDI driver: may you build it and email it to me?
I would build it by myself, but I think that I need the kernel
source tree,
isn't it? |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
FTDI
is ready for EX9486-2L. Please see attachment.
This driver is verified on EX9486-2L only.
Installation Steps:
a.Place ftdi_sio.ko in /disk
b.insmod /disk/ftdi_sio.ko
c.Plug in FT232 cable
d.You'll get a device, /dev/ttyUSB0 |
| Q: |
driver
for ISDN usb modem : |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
A. according to the web info, your USB modem should be
CDC/ACM compatible.
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=514
or you can google "miniVigor128 + ACM" to find more info about this modem.
B. please follow the actions below to update the EX9486-2L:
(this update already includes driver for CDC/ACM USB modems)
*. Check the attached file to an USB thumb flash disk.
You will find two files: EX9486-2L-K and EX9486-2L-R
Put these two files to root directory.
*. Pulg the USB thumb flash disk to the EX9486-2L
*. Type command: mount /dev/sda or mount /dev/sda1
*. Type command: cd /mnt/sda or cd /mnt/sda1
*. Type command: update EX9486-2L-K
*. Type command: update EX9486-2L-R
*. Type command: reboot
*. Plug the USB modem to the EX9486-2L
*. Type command: dmesg
You should find message like "ttyACM0" or "ttyACM1" near the bottom line. |
| Q: |
Ask
for HFC-S USB ISDN Linux driver : |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
We inform the vendor to provide Linux driver.
The detail informaion is below for your reference.
Now, you can try to test USB ISDN Modem again. |
| Q: |
Is
it possible to get a description of the build enviroment and sw
tools
used to build the images for the EX9486-2L? Little info about
the
toolchain and eventuall uC distributon used?
As for the router, can you send or direct me to some
documentation for the p-202h of Zyxel? |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
You can use our toolchain(cygwin as Attached ) in CD-ROM to build the
images for the EX9486-2L and our toolchain also provide the build
enviroment.
Please refer to EX9486 Cygwin Installation guide in the CD-ROM.
About uC distribution please visit the website http://www.ucdot.org or
http://www.uclinux.org .
Pls also check some documentation for the p-202h of Zyxel as Attached . |
| Q: |
EX9486-2L
update : |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
Please
advise your customer to update firmware in EX9486-2L.
Unzip EX9486-2L.rar to two files and update these two files
separately by using "update" command. |
| Q: |
Is
it possible to use the ssh and scp clients? (Yes)
I've found that the sshd does not start automatically (lack of
private/public
keys?) and the ssh and scp clients are not present anywhere.
Why? |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
Please
advise your customer of running key generator.
Because sshd is acting manually at present on EX9486-2L.
Your customer can use attached file to generate key and refer to
another
file for configuration and change rc file to let it start
automatically.
Since EX9486-2L is playing the role of server, ssh and scp are
not
existed.(ssh and scp are programs on client)
If your customer really needs ssh and scp ,we'll help porting
ssh and scp. |

cards? |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |

| Q: |
I
am working with a 232BM FTDI converter.
This module works well on EX9486-2L
but on EX9486-L it is not recognized : |
2007/8/14 |
| A: |
This is because that EX9486-L didn't support FTDI driver.
Attached please find the FTDI driver for EX9486-L and the installing method is the same as EX9486-2L.
if customer was forgotten the process , please refer the simple guide I wrote as follows :
- copy attached file ftdi_sio.ko to any directory under "/disk" in EX9486-L, otherwise, the file will be removed while rebooting.
- load driver module by using command "insmod". for example :
insmod /disk/ftdi_sio.ko
if "ftdi_sio.ko" is put in directory, "/disk"
- plug FTDI USB dongle and it will be worked.
* if user want to make this function always activated after EX9486-L power on, please remind him add the insmod commad in
"/etc/rc" file. |
