Building and Installing the TI USB Driver from the Source RPM Package
Follow this step if your distribution supports RPM packages; otherwise, follow the next step on installing from a
TGZ package.
You need the TI USB 3410/5052 source RPM package for this step. The Introduction section describes where to
find the latest TI USB 3410/5052 source RPM.
Log in as root and do the following:
Command
Explanation
1.
rpmbuild --rebuild ti_usb_2.6-X.Y-Z.src.rpm
-- OR --
rpm --rebuild ti_usb_2.6-X.Y-Z.src.rpm
This command builds the driver package for
your kernel.
For Red Hat.
For SUSE.
2.
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
-- OR --
cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386
For Red Hat.
For SUSE.
Or use the appropriate path for your Linux
distribution.
3. rpm -Uvh ti_usb_2.6-X.Y-Z.i386.rpm
This command installs the driver package.
If there are problems in this process, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as
described above. You may need to remove the RPM package with "rpm -e ti_usb_2.6-X.Y-Z" or remove RPM
temporary files. Red Hat stores RPM temporary files in /var/tmp and /usr/src/redhat/BUILD; other distributions
may store them in other places.
Building and Installing the TI USB Driver from the TGZ Package
Follow this step if your distribution does not support RPM packages; otherwise, follow the previous step on
installing from an RPM package.
You need the TI USB 3410/5052 tgz package for this step. The Introduction section above describes where to find
the latest TI USB 3410/5052 tgz package.
Log in as root and do the following:
Command
Explanation
1. tar xvzf ti_usb_2.6-X.Y.tgz
Un-package the files.
2. cd ti_usb_2.6-X.Y
3. ./configure
Configure the package for your distribution
and kernel.
4. make install
Build and install the ti_usb_3410_5052 driver.
If there are problems, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as described above.
