| Infinity Usb Unlimited Readme |
| ----------------------------- |
| |
| Hi all, |
| |
| |
| This module provide a serial interface to use your |
| IUU unit in phoenix mode. Loading this module will |
| bring a ttyUSB[0-x] interface. This driver must be |
| used by your favorite application to pilot the IUU |
| |
| This driver is still in beta stage, so bugs can |
| occur and your system may freeze. As far I now, |
| I never had any problem with it, but I'm not a real |
| guru, so don't blame me if your system is unstable |
| |
| You can plug more than one IUU. Every unit will |
| have his own device file(/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1,...) |
| |
| |
| |
| How to tune the reader speed ? |
| |
| A few parameters can be used at load time |
| To use parameters, just unload the module if it is |
| already loaded and use modprobe iuu_phoenix param=value. |
| In case of prebuilt module, use the command |
| insmod iuu_phoenix param=value. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| modprobe iuu_phoenix clockmode=3 |
| |
| The parameters are: |
| |
| parm: clockmode:1=3Mhz579,2=3Mhz680,3=6Mhz (int) |
| parm: boost:overclock boost percent 100 to 500 (int) |
| parm: cdmode:Card detect mode 0=none, 1=CD, 2=!CD, 3=DSR, 4=!DSR, 5=CTS, 6=!CTS, 7=RING, 8=!RING (int) |
| parm: xmas:xmas color enabled or not (bool) |
| parm: debug:Debug enabled or not (bool) |
| |
| - clockmode will provide 3 different base settings commonly adopted by |
| different software: |
| 1. 3Mhz579 |
| 2. 3Mhz680 |
| 3. 6Mhz |
| |
| - boost provide a way to overclock the reader ( my favorite :-) ) |
| For example to have best performance than a simple clockmode=3, try this: |
| |
| modprobe boost=195 |
| |
| This will put the reader in a base of 3Mhz579 but boosted a 195 % ! |
| the real clock will be now : 6979050 Hz ( 6Mhz979 ) and will increase |
| the speed to a score 10 to 20% better than the simple clockmode=3 !!! |
| |
| |
| - cdmode permit to setup the signal used to inform the userland ( ioctl answer ) |
| if the card is present or not. Eight signals are possible. |
| |
| - xmas is completely useless except for your eyes. This is one of my friend who was |
| so sad to have a nice device like the iuu without seeing all color range available. |
| So I have added this option to permit him to see a lot of color ( each activity change the color |
| and the frequency randomly ) |
| |
| - debug will produce a lot of debugging messages... |
| |
| |
| Last notes: |
| |
| Don't worry about the serial settings, the serial emulation |
| is an abstraction, so use any speed or parity setting will |
| work. ( This will not change anything ).Later I will perhaps |
| use this settings to deduce de boost but is that feature |
| really necessary ? |
| The autodetect feature used is the serial CD. If that doesn't |
| work for your software, disable detection mechanism in it. |
| |
| |
| Have fun ! |
