| 20:09.25 | Caramba_ | Hi folks. I'm trying to communicate with a Nokia phone through the slug. A site told me to run "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0421 product=0x0802" on a Linux box to create the proper ports. When I do, I get the error message "modprobe: could not parse modules.dep". Since I'm still figuring out exactly what I'm doing I'd like to get some advice on how to proceed. Grateful for any help! |
| 20:10.36 | NAiL | have you done "depmod -a"? |
| 20:21.46 | Caramba_ | well, yep - but depmod contains nothing but a shellscript with the command "exit 0" |
| 20:23.14 | caplink811_log | well, which depmod do you mean, and on which fw version? |
| 20:23.19 | *** join/#nslu2-linux Neuer_User (n=michael@80-218-50-34.dclient.hispeed.ch) |
| 20:23.58 | Caramba_ | I'm talking about /sbin/depmod, Unslung 5.5 |
| 20:24.57 | caplink811_log | maybe that ipkg install modutils, or something like that, gives you a /opt/bin/modprobe which is an executable... jam |
| 20:25.56 | caplink811_log | modutils it should be |
| 20:26.13 | caplink811_log | and its /opt/sbin/depmod |
| 20:27.49 | Caramba_ | Same error :( : "modprobe: could not parse modules.dep" |
| 20:28.26 | Caramba_ | Sorry...: /opt/sbin/modprobe gives "modprobe: Can't locate module usbserial" |
| 20:28.41 | Caramba_ | Is that downloadable somewhere? |
| 20:29.57 | caplink811_log | you may use http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/ or browse the feed directly |
| 20:30.51 | caplink811_log | http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/ |
| 20:31.10 | Caramba_ | Right-o - sorry for asking stupid questions! |
| 20:31.32 | NAiL | reading the wiki helps ;-) |
| 20:31.42 | caplink811_log | sorry, wrong link... http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/ |
| 20:32.00 | caplink811_log | ~nslu2-wiki |
| 20:32.01 | jbot | extra, extra, read all about it, nslu2-wiki is the short-hand way of saying "Have a look at the NSLU2-Linux Wiki at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/". |
| 20:32.08 | caplink811_log | ~botsnack |
| 20:32.08 | jbot | thanks, caplink811_log |
| 20:32.39 | Caramba_ | It does and I have! But I didn't find any particular info on the modprobe-question and my Linux-knowledge isn't deep enough (yet?). |
| 20:33.04 | mwester | Unslung? modprobe? Don't think the two work together... |
| 20:33.09 | mwester | Or is it openslug? |
| 20:33.17 | Caramba_ | unslung, 5.5 |
| 20:35.22 | mwester | Yeah, I don't think modprobe does anything on Unslung. You need to install modules manually (usually, serial seems to be an exception) with insmod. All other plumbing (/dev entries, etc, you need to handle yourself on Unslung) |
| 20:36.22 | Caramba_ | OK. Tell me, any good walkthrough for that manual labor? |
| 20:36.53 | mwester | No I take that back - I see that I put the insmod command in the startup script for my serial ports too, so even serial needs insmod. What modules are you trying to install? |
| 20:37.02 | NAiL | insmod /lib/modules/path/to/usbserial.o <parameters> |
| 20:37.09 | Caramba_ | I'm trying to install usbserial |
| 20:37.27 | mwester | I didn't think usbserial took arguments. I've never seen it done... |
| 20:38.10 | Caramba_ | Let's see... |
| 20:38.19 | mwester | insmod usbserial; insmod pl2303 -- that does it for mine -- as soon as that's done, the USB-Serial converter is recognized and /dev/ttyUSB0 becomes an active device. |
| 20:39.32 | Caramba_ | well, if i run /opt/sbin/iwhat's the pl2303? |
| 20:39.41 | Caramba_ | Sorry: what's the pl2303? |
| 20:40.29 | NAiL | usb-serial converter |
| 20:41.37 | mwester | Just checked the source - usbserial takes a command-line flag to enable debug; also appears that one can specify the USB device codes, although why one would do so I do not know. |
| 20:41.44 | Caramba_ | And: The original command I was trying to do was "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0421 product=0x0802" (found that on a website, from a guy who had succeeded with my project on an ordinary Linux-box). Can I ignore the vendor/product-stuff? |
| 20:42.12 | mwester | You should be able to ignore that. What type of converter do you have, do you know? |
| 20:42.29 | Caramba_ | It's a Nokia data cable for use with cellphones |
| 20:42.34 | NAiL | Old nokia cable? |
| 20:42.41 | Caramba_ | Nope, spanking new. |
| 20:43.21 | mwester | Without the modules loaded, do you get any messages with USB device ids (vendor and product) when you plug it into the slug? |
| 20:44.36 | Caramba_ | No. I managed to connect to it with the ttyp0-port, but the connection was obviously garbled - I never managed to send/receive any good stuff. The conf was for the older DKU-5 |
| 20:45.06 | Caramba_ | So I did some web search, and found "http://linux.seindal.dk/item97.html" - there's this guy who managed to do what I'm trying to do |
| 20:45.55 | Caramba_ | But I haven't hacked this deep and dark into connectiong external stuff to a Linux-box before, so I'm a bit lost... |
| 20:49.06 | mwester | What does "lsusb" report when the device is plugged in? (We need those id codes from your specific device to match to the driver)... |
| 20:49.15 | Caramba_ | hmm...just a sec...where do i find the lsusb-command? is it in busybox? |
| 20:50.04 | mwester | No - /opt/sbin/lsusb (if not present, do ipkg install usbutils to install) |
| 20:50.27 | Caramba_ | yay, wasn't installed. just a sec |
| 20:52.29 | Caramba_ | k, here we go. Six lines, this one was added after plugging in the phone: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0421:0802 |
| 20:52.47 | Caramba_ | Looks like the vendor/product-code to me! |
| 20:56.09 | NAiL | I wouldn't bet on the cable being supported by usbserial in unslung though |
| 20:56.34 | NAiL | oh |
| 20:56.45 | NAiL | The CA-42 runs the standard usb-to-serial protocol (usbcdc). Thus the usbserial driver can be used. Before plugging the cable use the insmod to bind the usbserial driver to the cable: insmod usbserial vendor=0x0421 product=0x0802. As soon as you plug in the cable a /dev/ttyUSBX node should be created. |
| 20:57.14 | Caramba_ | Where did you find that info, Nail? |
| 20:57.26 | NAiL | http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3251 |
| 20:57.38 | NAiL | linked from http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/New_DKU_cable |
| 20:57.49 | mwester | Ok - that seems to be a very recent addition. It is not supported by any kernel yet as far as I know; I did find a patch to the Cypress driver, but that's for the 2.6 kernel and (according to the notes) is absolutely guaranteed to NOT work for the 2.4 kernel... |
| 20:58.13 | Caramba_ | So, mwester, should I just quit and open a bottle of red? |
| 20:58.21 | mwester | So, the answer is -- no driver exists for Unslung -- there is a chance a driver could be patched for OpenSlug. |
| 20:58.56 | Caramba_ | Bummer, but OK. What about DKU-5, would that work with Unslung? |
| 20:59.39 | NAiL | DKU-5 uses pl2303 IIRC |
| 20:59.40 | Caramba_ | It's the older cable for connecting the Nokia phones. |
| 20:59.53 | mwester | No, don't quit - just consider using another (older) cable -- the older ones are said to be pl2303-based. Or, move to OpenSlug to try the 2.6 kernel and patch it. Or, see if you can modify the cypress driver to suit teh 2.4 kernel... |
| 21:01.19 | Caramba_ | That's a big project, mwester :) I don't think I would have the skill for driver modification. OpenSlug would be an option, but my slug is nicely confed at the moment...I guess the older cable is the solution. |
| 21:02.21 | mwester | Goodnight NAiL... |
| 21:02.54 | Caramba_ | Night Nail - thx for your interest and participation in my project |
| 21:05.41 | Caramba_ | OK, mwester, I'll take a copy of our conversation, get me a new cable, and try again. Thx for your help, it's been interesting. Wiki-stuff, as soon as I get the gnokii-connection running. |
