Fwd: SLC4 - udev
Hi,
I used a single = and now i don't have parse error.
However my rule seems not to work properly, in fact it does not create
a device in /dev so I guess the rule in permissions.d is never
applied.
The rule I'm currently using is:
BUS=usb, SYSFS{idVendor}=151f, NAME=%k, SYMLINK=opalFPGA
the rule in permissions.d folder is :
opal*:nick2k3:nick2k3:0666
Any idea?

My device is an Opal Kelly FPGA with an usb interface.

In the FPGA user manual they say:

is
in place, you will need to reload the rules by either rebooting or
using
the following command:
/sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
__
I successfully copied the file into rules.d/ but I still have some
problem.
I don't have the /sbin/udevcontrol application:
all the application with udev in their name are:
udevinfo
udevtest
start_udev
udev
udevd
udevstart
udevstart.static
udev.static
udev_colume_id
the file 60-opalkelly.rules is pasted at the and of this mail.
How do I make the system load this rule manually?
If I reboot while the device is connected everything works fine,
except that I can only access the FPGA with root priviledges. Any way
to allow users to use it?
Thank you in advance,

Nicola,
Those rules look like they were written for a different version of udev
than
what SL 4 provides.
In order to reload new rules in SL 4, simply executing 'udevstart'
should
do
the trick. It will cause a reload.
As for the rules, you'll need to rewrite them, which isn't difficult.
Newer udev (like the one in SL 5) have changed to allow everything in 1
definition similar to what you have provided.
The MODE entry isn't supported, you'll need an entry in
/etc/udev/permissions.d/ to handle that.
It will help if you know the device node name when writing the rules,
or
to
define one that will be consistent.
For example, here is what I use to make sure a serial adapter is always
detected correctly with the permissions I want:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/11-edgeport.rules
BUS=usb SYSFS{idVendor}=1608 SYSFS{idProduct}=0201
SYSFS{serial}=*-0
NAME=%k SYMLINK=ttyEDGE0%e
BUS=usb SYSFS{idVendor}=1608 SYSFS{idProduct}=0201
SYSFS{serial}=*-1
NAME=%k SYMLINK=ttyEDGE1%e
This generates /dev/ttyEDGE0, /dev/ttyEDGE01, /dev/ttyEDGE1,
/dev/ttyEDGE11
aliased to the correct /dev/ttyUSB#.
# /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions
ttyS*:root:uucp:0666
ttyUSB*:root:uucp:0666
This gives any device node of /dev/ttyS# or /dev/tty/USB# permissions
of
0666.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi,
thanks for the useful help but I just managed to find some time to
work on this problem.
I modified my 60-opalkelly.rules as follows:
# udev rules file for all Opal Kelly VID matches.
# This file allows udev to change the mode to 666 (all read/write)
# for any Opal Kelly VID.
#
# For FedoraCore 5 and similar:
SUBSYSTEM==usb_device, SYSFS{idVendor}==151f, NAME=%k,
SYMLINK=usbFP%n
# For FedoraCore 7 and similar:
SUBSYSTEM==usb, ATTRS{idVendor}==151f,NAME=%k, SYMLINK=usbFP%n
and added this lines in the 50-udev.permissions file:
#opalkelly devices
usbFP*:nick2k3:nick2k3:0666
where nick2k3 is my non-root user.
I notice no change after a reboot or running /sbin/udevstart
Furthermore there is no usbFP device in /dev/ directory.
any hints?
(Anyway nothing I have done seems to prevent root access to the device
- which I think is a lucky thing-)
Thank you in advance,
Nicola
Nicola,
Try changing SUBSYSTEM=usb_device to BUS=usb. I don't recall
SUBSYSTEM
being supported in SL4.
You can also debug your rules using udevinfo and udevtest. lsusb might
help
as well, to verify vendor ID and such.
Cheers,
Mark
