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 above
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.
