Ah yes, the 8100 is the Pearl. The Pearl shows up as Product ID 0006
by default, which hides the database access. You can see USB information
with your device with the command "lsusb -v".
Use the tools/bcharge program to make it change modes, then btool
should work.
To be on the safe side, run: tools/bcharge -o
You may need to be root, if you don't have udev setup to give access
to your user account.
This bcharge option -o will avoid any possible conflict between the
Linux kernel's usb_storage module. If usb_storage is already currently
using your Pearl as a filesystem, you may need to remove the module first
before Barry will work with your device.
lsmod | grep usb_storage
rmmod usb_storage (as root)
See the udev/ directory in the CVS tree for hints on how to setup
your system. Alternately, you can install an RPM from the Sourceforge
site to set things up for you, and then run CVS's btool for the latest
features. This is if you have an RPM system.
Hope that helps,
- Chris
