24 Mar 2009 down3.bin.5.32.0 Firmware version 5.32.0 for TI-based Edgeports and the io_ti driver, prepared for use with recent Linux kernels (e.g: 2.6.27.8) which store pre-compiled firmware images in /lib/firmware/edgeport. To use this: cd /lib/firmware/edgeport mv down3.bin down3.bin.orig # Keep a copy of your original mv down3.bin.5.3.0 down3.bin chmod 777 down3.bin This firmware is downloaded to TI-based Edgeports by the usb/io_ti driver each time a supported Edgeport device is plugged in. 17 Feb 2009 io_ti.ko.1 Binary of io_ti driver version 0.7-peb1, patched to add support for the TI version of the Edgeport 8 and compiled for the Intel (i686) version of the RHEL-4 2.6.9-78.0.13.ELsmp kernel. To use this with an i686 2.6.9-78.0.13.ELsmp kernel: cd /lib/modules/2.6.9-ELsmp mv io_ti.ko /tmp # Move the original driver mv io_ti.ko.1 io_ti.ko # Install the new one Reboot or: unplug the Edgeport 8 TI rmmod io_ti # Unload current io_ti from memory plug in the Edgeport 8 TI # This should automatically load the new # io_ti driver Check the /var/log/messages file (e.g: fgrep io_ti /var/log/messages). If the new driver has loaded successfully you should see: io_ti.c: Edgeport USB Serial Driver v0.7-peb1 7 Oct 2007 EP8_for_linux2.6.9.tgz Includes replacement files for the 2.6.9 kernel included with RHEL-4 (kernel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.src.rpm from RedHat) to add support for the TI version of the Edgeport 8. Included are these files io_fw_down3.h (version 4.80.0) io_ti.c (version 0.7-peb1) io_ti.h io_usbvend.h Copy these over the corresponding files in drivers/usb/serial directory of the 2.6.9 kernel sources, then, from the head of the source directory (e.g: /usr/src/linux) type: make modules make modules_install 18 December 2005 edgeport_8_2.6.13.3.patch A patch for the Edgeport io_ti driver that adds support for the Edgeport/8 and Edgeport/8s. This patch is from the 2.6.13.3 kernel but should apply to kernels 2.6.10 and later. This is a reverse patch, so apply it with this command in the top level of the kernel sources: patch -R -p1 < edgeport_8_2.6.13.3.patch
