[GiGaBlue QUAD] Is Smargo support embedded within the OpenVIX 3.0 image for the QUAD?

[XabiX]

Hello,

i tried connecting my Smargo reader and I don't see anything special in lsusb.

messages say:
Nov 29 16:20:02 gbquad user.info kernel: usb 7-1: new full speed USB device using ohci-brcm and address 3

I did try installing the kernel-module-usbserial (2.6.37-r5.10) but the same.

Thanks

Same with:
kernel-module-ftdi-sio - 2.6.37-r5.10

not working. it's all about finding the right driver

what does lsusb output?

lsusb -v

It tried with: opkg install enigma2-plugin-drivers-usbserial

but doesn't seem better BUT now when I unplug and replug I have a different info in dmesg

Normally the Smargo runs 1.4 (or maybe 1.3) but used to work on the vu+ uno.

 

[rossi2000]

now try lsusb looks like its ok.
ive seenn that error before and the smargo still runs fine.

I already did and it's the same:

2012/11/29 17:51:55 5F18E8 r tntsat [smartreader] Cannot open device: /dev/ttyUSB0

and (I did configure 007:001):

2012/11/29 17:52:55 5F18E8 r Smartreader device 7:1 not found
2012/11/29 17:52:55 5F18E8 r tntsat [smartreader] Cannot open device: 7:1

I think we should find 1st the reason why it doesn't show up in lsub before doing some testing as this seems like something that should work out of the box (meaning smargo is well known in the market)

 

[XabiX]

This is how my Smargo is setup:

smartreader+ version v1.4
MODE autoswitch
FREQ -nan Mhz
KERNEL normal
T_MODE t = 0
EGT 0

i will double check if it can work but still would like to understand why nothing is being displayed within the lsusb.
besides if reboot I would need to find a way to automatically assign the same name to a device so it always work and for that I need some info about the usb device.

Some info about the driver but this goes over my skills

It looks like the issue is within libusb module according to this thread who speaks about similar pb with QNAP NAS:
http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=24851&start=10

They are using:

libusb - 0.1.12-2 - Library for interfacing to the USB subsystem.

Within OpenVix, we use:

opkg list-installed | grep libusb
libusb-1.0-0 - 1.0.8-r4

So that could be part of the issue?

If I connect my Smargo to an Ubuntu server it works OK:

So I think either the libusb or the driver is faulty?

The smargo works with /dev/ttyUSB0 and smargo protocol (with oscam).

if I put bus:device it doesn't work.

Anyway here the issue was to try to solve the fact that the Smargo is not shown in lsusb and therefore completely recognized by the system.

but at least it's working
