Building and Installing the TI USB Driver from the TGZ Package
Use the TI USB tgz package for this step. The Introduction section above describes where to find the latest
TI USB tgz package.
Log in as root and do the following:
Command
Explanation
1. tar xvzf ti_usb-X.Y.tgz
Un-package the files.
2. cd ti_usb-X.Y
3. ./configure
Configure the package for your
distribution and kernel.
4. make
Build the driver.
5. make install
Install the ti_usb driver.
If there are problems in this process, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as
described above.
Loading the TI USB Driver
The ti_usb driver is automatically loaded when you plug in the TI USB 3410 device, provided your device
uses the default vendor and product ids. If it does not, see the section entitled "VENDOR and PRODUCT
IDS" in the Release Notes file for Linux 2.4 kernel installations (on the product CD as file name
ti_usb_release_notes-1 2.txt).
The first TI USB 3410 device plugged in appears as /dev/ttyTIUSB0, the next as /dev/ttyTIUSB1, and so on.
Note that these device names are different from the device names used by the Linux usbserial driver. See
the section below entitled "DEVICE FILES" for more information.
If TI USB devices were in use before installing the new TI USB driver, old versions of the drivers are still
loaded. You must unload these old versions before the newly installed driver is used.
The simplest way to unload the old drivers and load the new is to reboot.
Alternatively, you can close all open TI USB serial ports, disconnect the TI USB serial devices, and then
unload the old TI USB serial driver with the command
rmmod ti_usb
Completion. Then reconnect the TI USB serial devices and the new driver is loaded.
