It has been extended to support the USB port offered by -some latest TI handhelds (TI84+ and TI89 Titanium). - -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 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 independently of Texas Instruments Inc.
