Unable to establish connection to Arduino

[AmbiZOL]

I have a problem connecting my Arduino to UE46C7000 hacked over hotel mode. Here is an output of dmesg | tail

SpoilerShow

input: Arduino LLC Arduino Leonardo as /class/input/input0
input: USB HID v1.01 Mouse [Arduino LLC Arduino Leonardo] on usb-ohci-sdp-1
not supported device connected Manufacturer: Arduino LLC Product : Arduino Leonardo

input: Arduino LLC Arduino Leonardo as /class/input/input1
input: USB HID v1.01 Mouse [Arduino LLC Arduino Leonardo] on usb-ohci-sdp-1

there should be a new entry at /dev/ttyACM0 but it's not. I even cross compile cdc-acm.ko insmod it but still no result and the same output.

[AmbiZOL]

Ok I've added supported devices list from "Big" Linux. Recompiled cdc-acm.ko. Now there are some inspiring messages from dmesg | tail

But there is still no /dev/ttyACM0 in a list.

[AmbiZOL]

Ok. I've find out that there is a way to add a new device to /dev. It is described here http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Fix_lo ... es_Trident. But the file required to complete the task is missing (God damn external links )! Does anybody have a copy or an idea how it should look like?

[juusso]

What file are you talking about? usbcore.ko? or dev.img?
Ah yes, external link... dev.img.

Unfortunately i don`t have this file on my pc and i have no idea what was there inside img file. Maybe you can create it by self using squashfs3.0 -be ?

Or maybe you can try to write email to creator (dksoul) of that wiki article and ask him? No big chance for success, he hasn`t been here for more than two years...

Edit: found some dev.img on my NAS, don`t know where it comes from, might be this is what you need. Check:
http://www.multiupload.nl/Y0LRUAMJDV

[AmbiZOL]

Thanks for your help. I've followed your suggestion to create it myself and finally managed to add new entry at /dev (it was not too complicated). But still no luck with the main problem.

[AmbiZOL]

Great news: connection established! There was another problem. I've used wrong primary device number with mknod command. I've figure it out after connecting to the 'Big' Linux.

[juusso]

Glad to hear! Also awaiting some small how-to

[AmbiZOL]

Here is small how-to connect Arduino Leonardo to TV Usb and perform serial communications.
My main computer uses Windows. Arduino IDE installed there too. If the same is for you the first thing to do is to test your Arduino connection to a Linux on PC. This is optional but could be useful. Plug your Arduino to Linux PC.

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev | grep ttyACM0

crw-rw---- 1 root uucp    166,   0 xxxx xx xx:xx ttyACM0

The number 166 is major number which is "device type" in my vision.
If you haven't got a row with information on ttyACM0 probably you should add device support to Linux system (see instructions below).

SpoilerShow

# cd to your Linux directory
cd /usr/src/Linux
# add support of USB Modem (CDC ACM)
make menuconfig
# type '/' and 'acm' to search for CDC ACM location below is output
# Symbol: USB_ACM []
# Type : tristate
# Prompt: USB Modem (CDC ACM) support
# Defined at drivers/usb/class/Kconfig:7
# Depends on: USB_SUPPORT [=y] && USB [=y]
# Location:
# -> Device Drivers
# -> USB support (USB_SUPPORT [=y])
#
# I've added it as module support than save and exit
make modules
# the result module located at drivers/usb/class
# now we can load module
insmod drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.ko
# and now try below to see ttyACM0 device listed
ls -l /dev | grep ttyACM0

To test that everything is fine you can:

SpoilerShow

Upload the sketch below to your arduino:
void setup()
{
delay(2000);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
Serial.println("Hello world!");
delay(1000);
}

then after typing:

cat /dev/ttyACM0

you should receive incoming Hello worlds every second

Now we should use our cross compilation skills and compile the cdc-acm.ko module for the TV. For me cross compilation is a nightmare, but compiling this module was not the worst one. I've found out that the sources contains the required cdc-acm.c and cdc-acm.h and at a first glance everything seemed to be quite easy. But after building first version my Arduino was not recognized. So some modification should be done to enlarge the rage of supported devices. The source was taken from PC Linux version.

Now compile new module and copy onto TV and install it using insmod. After that Arduino should be detected. Try:

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail

# output should contain something like this:

drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is no modem.
cdc_acm 4-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

And now we should create the point for accessing the driver in /dev folder. But oops! /dev is readonly in a TV! Now you can go to ways.
First is based on a http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Fix_lo ... es_Trident article. You can create a copy of a /dev, add there required file with mknod, create a squashfs file and this file can then be mounted on top of /dev . But this way seems to be an overkill. Instead we can create such file in any directory. This is not a good practice but there are already some of such files created in a /dtv directory so I've decided to place it there.

Code: Select all

cd /dtv
mknod ttyACM0 c 166 0
# set the group and owner the same as other files in a /dev folder
usb/sda1/SamyGO/bin/busybox chown 501 ttyACM0
usb/sda1/SamyGO/bin/busybox chgrp 100 ttyACM0

usb/sda1/SamyGO/bin/busybox is my path to busybox which could be other in your case. So everything is ready. If you created "Hello world" test at the beginning you can plug your Arduino to TV and receive some sweet Hello worlds .
