SERIAL READER line CCCam syntax?

Been using 2 cards in my Vu+ Duo for some time without issue. I have recently added a Smargo to utilise a 3rd card. On looking at my cccam.cfg file I notice that there are no colons in my SERIAL READER lines ie

SERIAL READER /dev/sci0
SERIAL READER /dev/sci1

These though work fine. On adding the correct format for the Smargo (with colon and spaces) nothing works. Changing all lines to have colons and spaces in the proper format also gives no cards detected. I've looked through the cfg file for extra/missing colons but can't see anything obvious.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks.
 
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+

this might help
 
How to use Smargo cardreader with CCcam on linux receivers and PCs?

DM7020 CCcam.cfg
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/1 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/2 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/3 smartreader+

DM800 CCcam.cfg
on USB0
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0
on USB1
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/1
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/1
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/1
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/1

PC server CCcam.cfg
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB2 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB3 smartreader+

Note: i have self no hub to test, but these settings should work with hub.

Now we need add to CCcam.cfg new line:
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB2 smartreader+
or whatever USB port your smartreader is entered.

Save CCcam.cfg and run ./CCcam.x86 -d you should see new card is added and running.
In CCcam.cfg is card overklocking and there you just edit like so:
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/ttyUSB0 4800000 and card works with 4.80mhz set by smartreader+.
Available frequencies

3.20, 3.43, 3.69, 4.00, 4.36, 4.80, 5.34, 6.00, 6.86, 8.00, 9.61, 12.0 and 16.0 MHz

The user can selected any freqency. The Smartreader+ will selected the nearest available.
Default sartreader+ speed is with new v1.3 firmware 3.69MHZ and most cards works with that speed.
 
Thanks guys. What I'm saying though is that I add the correct line for a Smargo after my built-in card reader lines and nothing works. Looking at my config, it's clear that my 2 SERIAL READER lines are wrong (yet they work). Changing them to the correct format along with the Smargo (or without) also means nothing works. So something is wrong somewhere else I think.
 
To clarify, this doesn't work!

SERIAL READER : /dev/sci0
SERIAL READER : /dev/sci1
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+

but this does

SERIAL READER /dev/sci0
SERIAL READER /dev/sci1
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+

except it doesn't detect the USB card!!

The user can selected any freqency. The Smartreader+ will selected the nearest available.
Default sartreader+ speed is with new v1.3 firmware 3.69MHZ and most cards works with that speed.
The above cfg's assume that the reader is set to autoswitch mode and dreambox kernel.
Examples:
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 6000002 runs the card at 6mhz.
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 6860002 runs the card at 6.86mhz.
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 8000002 runs the card at 8mhz.
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 9610002 runs the card at 9.61mhz.

Most cards run at 6000002 or 6860002.

Right - I'm stumped. With the 2 inbuilt card readers commented out in CCcam.cfg CCCam still finds the cards!! Clearly something is wrong there - the syntax of my 2 lines is clearly making no difference.

Still no sign of the card in the Smargo with whatever syntax. What a mess!

Also - to confirm. Is USB0 the top or bottom slot on the rear? Thanks.

Dont know about VIX but on PLi you need to download usb to serial devices
Also to see if the smargo is registered type dmesg from telnet :)
