Hi Chris, here is my list of howto install owfs on Debian lenny. There is also documentation on owfs.org on installing. I am using the LINK USB module, which internally acts a a serial interface, so you have to change those parts to your needs with the DS9490R which is a USB-interface (again documentation is on owfs.org).
this is as of 20100805 with new version of owfs from 20100802 install will be done on bubblenet running lenny kernel 2.6.26-2-486 1. download this or newer from sourcefoge http://sourceforge.net/projects/owfs/files/owfs/2.8p0/owfs-2.8p0.tar.gz/download 2. extract to folder 3. open shell and cd to folder owfs-2.8p0 and run ./configure 4. wait a minute and then check whats missing... alternatively goto 7 right away 5. install missing components first e.g. automake autoconf autotools-dev gcc g++ libtool libusb-dev fuse-utils libfuse-dev swig \ python2.5-dev tcl8.5-dev php5-cli php5-dev 6. now run ./configure (again) make sure all modules you want to use are checked 7. now make check for possible errors (ignore warnings mostly) 8. lastly sudo make install 9. plug in the USB-1-Wire-Adapter check in syslog if it was registered: ftdi_sio: Detected FT232RL usb 2-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio .... 10. check if owfs works like a so: /opt/owfs/bin/owhttpd -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p3001 11. open browser and goto localhost:3001 there you should have it - a listing of the complete 1-Wire-Bus 12. now add your user to the group fuse e.g. edit /etc/groups and the re-logon into a new session, so the new group will be recognized 13 create a new mount-point for the file-system 1-Wire e.g. /mnt/1-Wire change permission, so the user owns it and the group is fuse and the group can write to it 14. start owfs to create the file-system /opt/owfs/bin/owfs --link=/dev/ttyUSB0 -m /mnt/1-wire/ --error-level=9 --foreground check for possible errors 15. add an udev-rule, so on re-connect, or on usb-bus-trouble (EMI?) we always get the same name (as symlink) HINTS: by aborting the foreground process in the shell, sometimes the process keeps running please kill -9 it DO NOT use owhttpd at the same time with owfs. You can crash owfs by merely calling values in the browser (don't know if the problem was specific to my installation) 16. start an e.g. perl application to read and write to the 1-Wire-file(bus)-system.... hope it helps, Martin Patzak ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
