Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
The installation is quite simple but requires the user to obtain the FTDI
|
|
development library. The installation also requires root privileges in some
|
|
phases (the ldconfig command to be more specific). Running the
|
|
Nano_USB_Programmer executable might also require root privileges.
|
|
|
|
- unpack the Nano_USB_Programmer-v[xxx].zip to a directory
|
|
- get the FTDI development library from
|
|
[http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX/Linux/libftd2xx0.4.13.tar.gz](http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX/Linux/libftd2xx0.4.13.tar.gz)
|
|
- unpack the ftdi archive
|
|
- copy the library static_lib/libftd2xx.a.[version] into /usr/lib
|
|
- copy the library libftd2xx.so.[version] into /usr/lib
|
|
- make a symbolic link to the library, for example: ln -s
|
|
/usr/lib/libftd2xx.so.0.4.13 /usr/lib/libftd2xx.so
|
|
- run ldconfig
|
|
- copy the header files into the nano_usb_programmer/ftdi_linux/ directory
|
|
- go to the programmer directory and run make
|
|
|
|
### Windows/Cygwin
|
|
|
|
- The FTDI library can be downloaded at:
|
|
|
|
[http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.02.04%20WHQL%20Certified.zip](http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.02.04%20WHQL%20Certified.zip)
|
|
|
|
- Copy header files (ftd2xx.h), ftd2xx.lib and ftd2xx.dll to nano_usb_programmer/ftdi_win32
|
|
- Copy the ftd2xx.dll to your windows system32 directory
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Usage info for the Nano_USB_Programmer is available with command
|
|
./nano_usb_programmer --help. Note that use might require root/administrator
|
|
privileges depending on system configuration.
|
|
|
|
Known problems (Linux)
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
There's one known problem at the moment. The N600 must be unplugged and plugged
|
|
in again after it has been programmed or the MAC address has been read from it
|
|
before it can respond to the programmer again. The reason for this is the FTDI
|
|
library is not perfectly integrated with the Linux serial driver.
