- Readme for Linux device driver for the Texas Instruments SilverLink cable
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

- INTRODUCTION:
- This is a driver for the TI-GRAPH LINK USB (aka SilverLink) cable, a cable
- designed by TI for connecting their TI8x/9x calculators to a computer
- (PC or Mac usually).
- If you need more information, please visit the 'SilverLink drivers' homepage
- at the above URL.
- WHAT YOU NEED:
- A TI calculator of course and a program capable to communicate with your
- calculator.
- TiLP will work for sure (since I am his developer !). yal92 may be able to use
- it by changing tidev for tiglusb (may require some hacking...).
- HOW TO USE IT:
- You must have first compiled USB support, support for your specific USB host
- controller (UHCI or OHCI).
- Next, (as root) from your appropriate modules directory (lib/modules/2.5.XX):
- insmod usb/usbcore.o
- insmod usb/usb-uhci.o <OR> insmod usb/ohci-hcd.o
- insmod tiglusb.o
- If it is not already there (it usually is), create the device:
- mknod /dev/tiglusb0 c 115 16
- You will have to set permissions on this device to allow you to read/write
- from it:
- chmod 666 /dev/tiglusb0
-
- Now you are ready to run a linking program such as TiLP. Be sure to configure
- it properly (RTFM).
-
- MODULE PARAMETERS:
- You can set these with: insmod tiglusb NAME=VALUE
- There is currently no way to set these on a per-cable basis.
- NAME: timeout
- TYPE: integer
- DEFAULT: 15
- DESC: Timeout value in tenth of seconds. If no data is available once this
- time has expired then the driver will return with a timeout error.
- QUIRKS:
- The following problem seems to be specific to the link cable since it appears
- on all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS-X).
- In some very particular cases, the driver returns with success but
- without any data. The application should retry a read operation at least once.
- HOW TO CONTACT US:
- You can email me at roms@lpg.ticalc.org. Please prefix the subject line
- with "TIGLUSB: " so that I am certain to notice your message.
- You can also mail JB at jb@jblache.org: he has written the first release of
- this driver but he better knows the Mac OS-X driver.
- CREDITS:
- The code is based on dabusb.c, printer.c and scanner.c !
- The driver has been developed independantly of Texas Instruments.
