#EDGEPORT DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU HOW TO#
Not crippled linux would work with only missing kernel module compiled.But in this android-like kernel I am very unsure it would work with module, at least I could not find any instructions showing how to do that on these mediatek-android devices. # CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VIVOPAY_SERIAL is not set # CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_SIERRAWIRELESS is not set # CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_SIEMENS_MPI is not set # CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_PDA is not set # CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_EDGEPORT_TI is not set # CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CYPRESS_M8 is not set # CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DIGI_ACCELEPORT is not set
Find your device, and copy exact string to the 'project' configuration file mentioned in the link given before with instructions, uncomment and set it to 'y' at step 3 there: # The E.5 source tree is such a mess, and I could not find exact defconfigs for this device, however I am familiar with defconfigs of bq M10 (Caveat it is kernel 3.10 instead of 3.4 as on E4.5, some device drivers can be unavaliable in 3.4 tree), I provide the excerpt with it bellow. To know the exact sting to write it is good to see mainline default kernel (3.4) tree, and add the appropriate line. You should add the line for supporting your own USB UART device in the step 3 described in the above linked tutorial. Look to the source of the kernel change the configure file to enable your USB UART device and then crosscompile it (I think the best up to date instruction is this how to do that: ) (thank you ubuntu for being so un-cool) as you are supposed to use this device only for socio* webapps (tweet, fazebook, stare to UT calendar) and do not dare to do anything cool. If you are still interested read bellow :)Īll of usb serial adapters are by default disabled in any UT kernel. Thanks to ubuntu to get that functionality you will have to recompile the kernel.
