Cypress Semiconductor Corporation
CyUSB Suite For Linux, version 1.0.5
====================================
Pre-requisites:
1. libusb-1.0.x is required for compilation and functioning of the API
library.
2. Native gcc/g++ tool-chain and the GNU make utility are required for
compiling the library and application.
2. qt4 is required for building the cyusb_linux GUI application.
3. The pidof command is used by the cyusb_linux application to handle
hot-plug of USB devices.
Installation Steps:
1. cd to the main directory where files where extracted and execute 'make'.
This will compile the libcyusb library and create a static library.
For example, if the archive is extracted to /home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5; then
e.g.: user@desktop:/home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5 $ make
2. Make sure that the install.sh script is executable by changing the mode
of install.sh file.
e.g.: user@desktop:/home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5 $ chmod +x install.sh
3. The install.sh script compiles the cyusb_linux GUI application, and installs
the libcyusb library and the application in the system directories (/usr/local/).
It also sets up a set of UDEV rules and updates the environment variables under
the /etc directory.
As these changes require root (super user) permissions, the install.sh script
needs to be executed from a root login.
e.g.: root@desktop:/home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5 $ ./install.sh
4. The GUI application can now be launched using the 'cyusb_linux' command.
