Hi Gurus, My situation: I read all the docs I could find and am stuck. I will be *extremely* thankful if anyone can solve my problem. I am already super thankful to Jasper Wallace for reverse-engineering the Rio600 protocol! Thanks! Now if I can just actually make use of his Hard Work... Background: Attatched a Rio600 to my USB port, but can't communicate with it, always get "Device or resource busy" * Kernel: 2.2.18 * compiled with USB and rio500 support * Rio itself shows the little "(-)" icon saying that it's connected to a live USB * BIOS has USB enabled :-) * /proc/bus/usb/devices shows that Rio driver is installed, ie, has a line like "S: Product=Diamond Multimedia Digital Audio Player" I am suspicious of the character-special device; I entered the major/minor dev numbers (180,64) blindly from the rio500.sourceforge.net documentation, namely: # ls -l /dev/usb/rio crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 180, 64 Apr 15 08:24 /dev/usb/rio But when I try to acces this file in any way, I get the busy signal: # ./rio600 -l rio600: open: Device or resource busy # cat /dev/usb/rio cat: /dev/usb/rio: Device or resource busy I am also suspicious,. but cluess as to how to solve, this "not claimed" warning: /var/log/messages: Apr 15 23:35:11 tadream kernel: usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0x6800, IRQ 11 Apr 15 23:35:11 tadream kernel: usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports Apr 15 23:35:11 tadream kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 ... usb.c: USB new device connect, assigned device number 1 ... hub.c: USB hub found ... hub.c: 2 ports detected ... usb.c: USB new device connect, assigned device number 2 ... usb.c: USB device 2 (prod/vend 0x45a/0x5001) is not claimed by any active driver. Looking for conflicts, I see none. Here's the relevant places I looked: /proc/ioports: 6800-6813 : usb-uhci /proc/interrupts: 11: 12 XT-PIC usb-uhci (nothing else in /proc/interrupts shows IRQ 11) My system has no other USB devices. Help! I will be super grateful... you'll get honorable mention on my lame personal homepage...
