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 in this process, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as
described above.
Loading the TI USB 3410/5052 Driver
The ti_usb_3410_5052 driver should be automatically loaded when you plug in the TI USB 3410/5052
devices, provided your device uses the default vendor and product ids. If it does not, see the section of
the Release Notes file "VENDOR and PRODUCT IDS" (on the product CD as file name
ti_usb_2.6_release_notes-1.2.txt ).
The first TI USB 3410/5052 device plugged in appears as /dev/ttyUSB0, then next as /dev/ttyUSB1, and so
on. These device names are shared with other USB serial devices.
If TI USB devices had been in use before installing the new TI USB driver, old versions of the drivers are still
loaded. These old versions must be unloaded 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_3410_5052
Completion. Then reconnect the TI USB serial devices and the new driver is loaded.
