Errno 1 is EPERM. The sst driver (and apparently, sgen) refuse to allow
access from anyone but root. Grrrrr.
I forgot this was not mentioned in the sst README (yet). The approach
I've suggested in the past is to modify the sst.c source and comment
out this code:
/*
* Check root permissions
*/
if (drv_priv(cred_p) != 0) {
return (EPERM);
}
It's only in the file one place.
After you do this, make sure you change the ownership/group and modes on
/dev/rsst* to match what you need and protect the system against stray
poking around.
