Hello-
Having a problem getting a DeLORME USB GPS LT-20 device working with
my Fedora 7 laptop. It is supposed to work with the cypress_m8 serial
module.
when I loaded the module and plugged in the device, it created the
device (a ls -l in /dev shows this: crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0
2007-11-18 22:24 /dev/ttyUSB0). it shows up when I do a 'cat
/proc/bus/usb/devices':
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 5 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=1163 ProdID=0200 Rev= 0.01
S: Manufacturer=DeLorme Publishing
S: Product=DeLorme USB Earthmate
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=cypress
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 32 Ivl=6ms
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 32 Ivl=6ms
when I do a 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' I get basically nothing as output. Some
Internet searching tells me to comment out line 408 (that haas the code
'cypress_set_dead(port);') in the cypress_m8.c file and recompile the
module. At this point I am stuck. I found the file and there is the
appropriate line at position 408, I can comment it out but do not need
to know what to do to recompile this module.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
