Build and Install the TI USB Driver from the Source RPM Package
Follow this step if your distribution supports RPM packages; otherwise, follow the next step on installing from a TGZ package.
You will need the TI USB source RPM package for this step. The Introduction section above describes where to find the latest
TI USB source RPM.
Log in as root and do the following:
Command Explanation
1.
rpmbuild --rebuild ti_usb-X.Y-Z.src.rpm
-- OR --
rpm --rebuild ti_usb-X.Y-Z.src.rpm
This command builds the driver package for
your kernel.
For Red Hat.
For SUSE.
2.
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
-- OR --
cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386
For Red Hat.
For SUSE.
Or use the appropriate path for your Linux
distribution.
3. rpm -Uvh ti_usb-X.Y-Z.i386.rpm This command installs the driver package.
If there are problems in this process, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as described above.
You may need to remove the RPM package with "rpm -e ti_usb-X.Y-Z" or remove RPM temporary files. Red Hat stores RPM
temporary files in /var/tmp and /usr/src/redhat/BUILD; other distributions may store them in other places.
