Appendix B – Linux Installations Appendix B - Linux Installations Introduction The MT9234MU supports Linux 2.4 kernel versions (2.4.28 and above), 2.6 kernel versions 2.6.8 through 2.6.10, and, with a special patch, Linux kernel versions 2.6.11 through 2.6.20.4 and above. There are three separate installation procedures for these ranges of kernel versions. When installation is complete, you must use AT commands to configure the modem for the country in which it is operating.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Installation Steps Install the Kernel Sources To build the TI USB driver you must have the matching kernel sources for your kernel. To verify that you have matching kernel sources, run "uname -r" to get the version of the running kernel. Then check for the directory /usr/src/linux-, /lib/modules//source, /lib/modules//build, or /usr/src/linux-, where stripped_version has the extra version information removed.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Build and Install 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 will need the TI USB source RPM package for this step. The Introduction section above describes where to find the latest TI USB source RPM. Log in as root and do the following: Command Explanation 1. This command builds the driver package for your kernel.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Build and Install the TI USB Driver from the TGZ Package You will need 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.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Device Files Because the TI USB driver does not use usbserial (to avoid known problems with usbserial) it uses its own device file names, /dev/ttyTIUSB0, /dev/ttyTIUSB1, and so on. The device files are created automatically when the ti_usb driver is loaded. This is done by the module post-install command in /etc/modules.conf, which runs the script /etc/ti_usb/make_devices. You can change the device names that ti_usb uses.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Uninstalling the TI USB Driver (for 2.4 kernel versions) If you installed the TI USB RPM package, you can uninstall it by logging in as root and running the command rpm -e ti_usb-X.Y-Z If you installed the TI USB TGZ package, you can uninstall it by logging in as root and running the following commands: Command Explanation cd ti_usb-X.Y You will need to give a full or relative path to the unpacked source file directory. make uninstall Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Installation in Computers Using the Linux 2.6 Kernel Introduction This procedure applies to Linux 2.6 kernel versions 2.6.8 through 2.6.10. These tgz and source RPM packages (ti_usb_2.6-1.2.tgz and ti_usb_2.6-1.2-1.src.rpm) contain a device driver for the MT9234MU’s TI USB 3410 processor in the Linux 2.6 kernels. These packages have been tested on the Fedora Core 2 Linux distribution. Most likely these packages will work on many other Linux distributions based on the 2.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Prepare the Kernel Sources This step may or may not be necessary, depending on how your Linux distribution installs the kernel sources. Log in as root and do the following: Command Explanation 1. cd /usr/src/linux- Change to the source directory. 2. make mrproper Clean up any old files. 3. Use either of these commands: Make a configuration file to match your running kernel.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Build and Install 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 will 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. This command builds the driver package for your kernel.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Build and Install 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 will 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.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Uninstalling the TI USB Driver (for 2.6 kernel versions) If you installed the TI USB RPM package, you can uninstall it by logging in as root and running the command rpm -e ti_usb_2.6-X.Y-Z If you installed the TI USB TGZ package, you can uninstall it by logging in as root and running the following commands: Command Explanation cd ti_usb_2.6-X.Y You will need to give a full or relative path to the unpacked source file directory.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Installation in Computers Using the Linux 2.6.20 Kernel and above Introduction This procedure applies to Linux 2.6 kernel versions 2.6.11 through 2.6.20 and higher. This tgz package contains a patch for the Linux kernel version 2.6.20 and later to add support for MultiTech modems. The patch was generated from the 2.6.20.4 kernel source. Additional support files like hotplug scripts, udev rules and firmware images are also included.
Appendix B – Linux Installations Installing the Firmware Images Copy ti_mts_fw_cdma, ti_mts_fw_edge, ti_mts_fw_gsm, ti_mts_fw_mt9234mu and ti_mts_fw_mt9234zbausb to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ or /lib/firmware depending on your distribution. Be sure the files are owned by root:root and have permissions r--r--r--.
Appendix C – WEEE Statement Appendix C – Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment July, 2005 The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers to take-back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the design phase.
