Steps
1. Download the latest driver (EMP2-X4S2_Linux_driver_<DATE>.zip) from the Dell Technologies
. Unzip the file
and copy the driver package on your platform with the Ubuntu environment.
2. Use the following cd commands in the driver directory.
$ sudo apt install make gcc
$ sudo make clean
$ sudo make
$ openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 36500 -outform DER -keyout
"MOK.priv" -out "MOK.der" -subj "/CN=$(hostname) module signing key/"
$ kmodsign sha512 MOK.priv MOK.der xr17v35x.ko
$ sudo make install
$ sudo vim /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
3. Add
xr17v35x
into the file to make Ubuntu auto load this driver during boot up.
$ sudo vim /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
4. Add
blacklist 8250_exar
into the file to make the standard serial port driver not conflict with xr17v35x.
$ sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
NOTE:
This step is to roll back the modifications of modules.conf/blacklist.conf by the EMP2-X2S1 driver if you
previously used the EMP2-X2S1 card.
$ sudo mokutil --import MOK.der
Enter your password twice.
$ sudo reboot
