TM 600 smargo

yes from my research that is the point the iPKG is an installer I think but it comes built into the 7020 image. I supose if you could sort of unwrap the kernel-module-ftdi-sio.ipk
kernel-module-usbserial.ipk

and change to what ever format the ur image needs to install it

it would be happy days

purely all guess work
 
Whenever I try to run ipkg I get the following error:
ipkg: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by
/opt/lib/libipkg.so.0)
ipkg: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by
/opt/lib/libipkg.so.0)
Can it be that that one of the packages broke the dependencies, that is
something is too new or too old now? I'm almost a complete newbie when
it comes to Linux...


Your ipkg is compiled against another version of glibc, you need to
upgrade/downgrade the ipkg package.

Would it be possible to solve the problem by simply replacing libc.so.6


Absolutely not, you will break your system if you would do that.


and/or libipkg.so.0 with the correct version taken from another NSLU2
unit (since all the devices are identical)?


No, it's not enough just to switch that file, you need to do with all the
files included in ipkg

Use ipkg to list all the files included in ipak, copy those over to your other
machine, and see if that works (don't copy over the data files, as in that
case the machine will think it has the same versions of all the packages as
the other one, which most likely ain't true).

like the other guys have pointed to, i would be searching google for

'How do I load ftdi_sio Kernel Module'

Forget about the ipkg,,

ipkg is just like a .rar or a .zip or a .tar.gz
its an itsy package manager file,

any box which has the ipkg compiled into its image can decompile the ipkg.
you can easily install ipkg on a linux machine to read the ipkg file.
infact does winrar not even open it? :p

you need the a ppc kernel module..
 
by the way,,, your all trying dm7020 modules,,

tm is far more similar to dm7000 drivers ;)


colley,, you shouldnt need inside a 7020 ipkg package,, it will do you no good on a tm600.
 
Yes, it's possible. Smargo driver already included on latest Gemini 4.5

If you want to activate smargo driver on dm7000 must write on telnet screen

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko

are these the drivers we need
usbserial.ko
ftdi_sio.ko
 
I found the above drivers for the dm7000 with install instruction
 
oh well tried reading about it all had a go and failed way over my head this side of things maybe in a couple of years lol


The upshot of all this is you cannot use any form of external card reader with the technomate linux range then.

I will go back to trying to get my gamma working with the smargo.

Somebody found a solution to use the Smargo ?
 
I can not even get it working working with debian properly.

not really related to the smargo but....

I plugged a usb to serial adaptor into the tm600 and it showed up in the the used setup menu and correctly identified the converter as prolific.

So would this mean I could in turn plug a pheonic reader into to use as an external card reader.

If someone has got the components could you give it a try for me.

Thanks Coley
 
i have a pheonix reader m8, ill give it a go tomorrow

ive also bought something called an omnikey usb card reader, whos drivers for linux are readily more available than the smargo drivers, i just have to work out where to put them on the receiver
 
ok, this didnt work, but, what i did find out is that by trying it, it totally fooks up all of the drivers if you already have a HDD installed

i have a usb-sata adaptor inside the receiver and a 120G laptop drive, and all was working fine. on trying the usb-serial driver it was listed as prolific device, however, it also made itself the default recording medium, and listed itself as having the capacity that was the free space that the HDD had but with no free space available for use, and the HDD reported its total capacity and free space as zero

the only way the drive would become useable again was to reboot the receiver, format the drive, as it was showing 117G in use 0.00G free, and then reboot the receiver again

i have tried this about 5 times and the result has always been the same

so.......

a USB-serial cable wont work, and if you have a HDD installed and you try it, you WILL lose all of your data on the drive

i do these things so you wont have to, play safe peeps :)
 
hehe to late didgidude did and I did not realize that it had done that until I went to record something today no harm done. The question is does screw up the script of were the recording device is and were it is loacated. Before I reflash I would like to try and see what files and config have changed

Is there amyway to view an image sort of unpack it to view.

Thanks for trying digidude
