Hello all, I'm trying to interface an RFID-tag reader to the Fox, and have trouble with the USB connection.
The model I have is the IDBlock-RA from EuroChip (more info can be found here: http://www.eurochip.com/4/sistemi/idblock/info.htm). It's USB interface is the USB/UART converter CP2101 from Silabs, and since it's driver is included in the 2.6 kernels, I'd expect it to work - in fact, my host machine just sees the reader when I plug it on the bus. I've compiled the kernel enabling cp2101.ko as a module and loaded it on a Fox; when I plug in the reader, dmesg shows me a few errors, reports that the device is connected as /dev/ttyUSB0, then disconnects it almost immediately and start doing this again and again. Has anybody tried that driver and know it's stability? I suspect that my problem could be a power issue - the docs says my reader requires a 400mA current, and while my PC provides it on the USB bus, I don't know if the Fox is able to do the same. Any hints on this issue, too? Thanks a lot in advance, Antonio
