usb support revisted


Hi Guys
I still can't seem to get usb support working on my Qube2, the kernel picks up the prolific controller but
there is no device file in /dev
I've made a new MAKEDEV script & tried sh MAKEDEV usbs, but upon inspection I found there was no makedev
enteries for ucom & uplcom.
I've been using 
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2007/09/08/0000.html  &
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2008/05/24/msg000114.html
as the source material for getting this going as previously instructed on here.

dmesg & patches below

Try /dev/ttyU? as noted in ucom(4) man page.

Doh!
no, I was looking at the man for uplcom(4)
connecting to ttyU0 worked a treat! :D
Cool!

Is it possible to use more then 2 usb serial adapters?
I've edited the MAKEDEV script & added ttyU2 & ttyU3 but when I rerun the script they're not created

uplcom0 at uhub4 port 2
uplcom0: Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 3
ucom0 at uplcom0
uplcom1 at uhub4 port 3
uplcom1: Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 4
ucom1 at uplcom1
uplcom2 at uhub4 port 4
uplcom2: Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 5
ucom2 at uplcom2
uplcom3 at uhub0 port 2
uplcom3: Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 6
ucom3 at uplcom3

What did you actually try?

# ls -l ttyU*
crw-------  1 uucp  wheel  66, 0 May  7  2003 ttyU0
crw-------  1 uucp  wheel  66, 1 May  7  2003 ttyU1
# sh MAKEDEV ttyU2 ttyU3 ttyU4
# ls -l ttyU*
crw-------  1 uucp  wheel  66, 0 May  7  2003 ttyU0
crw-------  1 uucp  wheel  66, 1 May  7  2003 ttyU1
crw-------  1 uucp  wheel  66, 2 Sep  2 08:32 ttyU2
crw-------  1 uucp  wheel  66, 3 Sep  2 08:32 ttyU3
crw-------  1 uucp  wheel  66, 4 Sep  2 08:32 ttyU4

most current install disk


Hi all;

Fall/ winter is coming so there is soon to be bad weather but time to  
upgrade the boxes.

What is the suggested install disk to be using at this time?  Does  
someone have a CD more current than that on the NetBSD site (which is  
usually the case).

Thank you;

Brian

RE:most current install disk

Brian,
AFAIK the most current install disk (at least for my Raq2+'s) is the  
NetBSD 4.0-release disk intended for boot on an x86 to be installed  
over a network line. I have used that for all of my machines and then  
manually done cvs/build/src upgrades from there without trouble.

I do not remember where I initially found this bootable image (it may  
have been through NetBSD.org rather than another search), but I did  
save it. There is a copy at  
http://pub.dayid.org/NetBSD/cobalt/restorecd-4.0-20080423.iso.bz2 ;  
however that is on a very poor connection so you may be better seeking  
it elsewhere.

4.99.72 -current restorecd

I've put an updated restorecd based on 4.99.72 -current:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/4.99.72
Tesetd on Qube2, but not well confirmed.

Note restorecd completely initializes your harddisk
so you can't use it to upgrade your cobalt with your
current settings on the disk.

You might be able to try sysinst based RAMDISK kernel
for actual "upgrade" via serial console:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200809100002Z/cobalt/binary/kernel/netbsd-RAMDISK.gz
but it isn't tested at all.
(see also NetBSD guide
 http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/guide/en/chap-upgrading.html 
 about upgrade via sysinst)

It has now! On a RaQ 2.
NetBSD PaperThin 4.99.72 NetBSD 4.99.72 (GENERIC) #0: Wed Sep 10 
04:48:22 PDT 2008 

builds <at> wb35:/home/builds/ab/HEAD/cobalt/200809100002Z-obj/home/builds/ab/HEAD/src/sys/arch/cobalt/compile/GENERIC 
cobalt

Upgraded from 4.0 to 4.99.72 with RAMDISK kernel.  Sysinst went fine.  A 
couple of screen errors (probably curses
related) otherwise OK.
