[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: ID1 Software Under Linux with Wine
Louis, have you tried turning down the baud rate on both devices? Some variations of the FTDI chipset need to be slowed down in order to work I believe. I moderate a scanner group that uses both Prolific and FTDI serial chipsets under Wine and this was one of the answers. Worth a go anyway. Neil.

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: ID1 Software Under Linux with Wine
Copied from another forum I asked on: USB drivers do not work under WINE. This is along standing issue that don't look like it'll be solved any time soon. The note you refer to deals with an actual USB device running under Linux. If it appears as a serial port under Linux you *should* be able to use it under WINE by connecting to the relevant pre-mapped port. The serial speed is often lowered to allow all the software to get their interupts etc in. The ID-1 has been made to work under Linux using CHIRP rather than the supplied Icom software. Thanks to Mark P for this. Hope this helps. Neil. --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, john_ke5c k...@... wrote: I am hoping someone else has been down this or a similar road.

Hi John, my personal experience was the follow: Ubuntu 8.04 with all update sudo apt-get install wine Insert the CD for ID-1 software and install it via Wine. Now check your USB port generally the first /dev /ttyUSB0 , create a symbolic link like this sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS4 , go to Applications and find Wine applications menù, here you can find the ID-1 software click and start the program. You need to insert a serial port and put the 5 number, now your ID-1 is opertive via software. This procedure was replied into 4 machine with Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. 73 de Antonio IW2OAZ

Hi Louis, you need to make a symbolic lynk from you USB port a a serial. For example: sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS4 Now use the COM5 port for your ID-1 software. 73 de Antonio IW2OAZ Thanks, but the ID1 software doesn't use comm ports, it uses USB ports. You can actually plug a USB cable into an ID1. I truly appreciate the response, but that won't do it.
RE: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: ID1 Software Under Linux with Wine
Actually it does use a COM port. It's a virtualized COM port over the USB link. The USB implementation is essentially just a different plug.

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: ID1 Software Under Linux with Wine
I stand educated; I didn't know the ID-1 software talked via com port interfaces rather than via usb port interfaces. What I said is true, wine does not support usb interfaces, but linux sure does. Thus Pierre, Antonio, Ed, and maybe others have pointed a way to the solution - the ID-1 software talks to wine via com port interfaces which are mapped to linux USB serial com ports where linux handles the interface. Let me add that you need to define any com port you intend to use under wine in the ~/.wine/dosdevices directory. If you have physical com ports on your computer, you will find existing entries in this directory for those. To complete Pierre's example, you also need to create an entry for com4 in the ~/.wine/dosdevices directory: ln -s /dev/ttyS4 com4 This tells wine where to look for com4, /dev/ttyS4 in this case which Pierre redefined to be the first USB port, /dev/ttyUSB0. *** I'm pretty sure I've done this in one step before, all in the dosdevices directory. Try ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 com4 (some distros use /dev/usb/ttUSB0...) Then tell the ID-1 software to use com4. Don't forget to attend the permissions issue also described by Pierre. I think if you run wine as root, you don't have to worry about this, but regular users do not have permission to use tty ports in linux for security reasons. 73 -- John The ID-1 control software, only knows about COM: devices which under linux are the /dev/ttyS On the other hand, the FTDI chips seen by linux as a /dev/ttyUSB... Assuming that you only have one such device connected on your system, it will be /dev/ttyUSB0. What you have to do is to link to some ttyS device. Say you ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS4 The ID-1 control software will be able to connect to COM5. You also need to make sure that you have read/write access to the device. Under most recent distributions, those device will grant R/W access to members of the group uucp. If needed, you edit /etc/group to be included in that group. Here's how it shows on my system where I have the ID-1 control software running on COM5: [...@localhost]$ ls -la /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw 1 root uucp 188, 0 aoû 1 16:12 /dev/ttyUSB0 [...@localhost]$ ls -la /dev/ttyS4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 jui 27 20:45 /dev/ttyS4 - /dev/ttyUSB0 [...@localhost]$ grep uucp /etc/group uucp:x:14:uucp,prt (Note that under Windows it's exactly the same: USB serial devices are turned into COM ports and it is the COM port number that you actually configure in the ID-1 control software. The only difference is that Windows automatically assign a COM port number for the USB serial interfaces.)

Actually you dont need both things. Either one of the following will do the same thing, i.e. let the USB0 be known to wine applications as COM5. ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS4 ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com5 (Provided that the wine directory is in it's default location.) Doing the first will make this device to be known as /dev/ttyS4 aka COM5 to all users on the system and to all applications, while the latter will make it only for the owner of the .wine directory and only for wine applications. There is an advantage to the latter: it will be persistent, i.e. it will survive a reboot. (Remember that ttyS's are numbered starting at 0 while COM's are numbered from 1. /dev/ttyS0 is mapped to COM1 and so on.)
