Hello All,
I am newbie in Linux and need some help in installation of driver of the UM245R FTDI device (this one http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/EvaluationKits/UM245R.htm ).
Installation instruction says:
---------------------------------------------
1. Create a temporary folder in your linux machine.
2. Extract the files from ftdi_sio.tar.gz file to your temporary folder
"gunzip ftdi_sio.tar.gz"
"tar -xvf ftdi_sio.tar"
3. Build the driver
"make"
4. Plug in your ftdi device
5. Check to see if default driver was loaded
"lsmod" - you will see ftdi_sio if a driver is loaded
6. Remove the default installed driver
"rmmod ftdi_sio"
7. Install the newly built driver
"insmod ftdi_sio.o"
---------------------------------------
Ihave done steps 1 and 2 and got the files:
ftdi_sio.c
ftdi_sio.h
Makefile
Rules
and do not understand what exactly I has to do with these according to step 3? (Step 3 is: Build the driver "make").
Thank you.
