5.4 Giving AutroMaster Access to Devices
When an installation is completed, only the system administrator (root)
will have access to devices.
A device is a physical file on the harddisk found in the /dev-directory.
All access to computer hardware is possible by reading or writing to a
specific device-file.
An example of a device-file is /dev/ttyS0, which represents serial port
1.
AutroMaster must be given the necessary access to these devices,
which is done in the following way:
Open a UNIX-window.
Execute the command chmod_777 followed by the name of the
device.
Depending on the configuration of the system, AutroMaster must be
given access to the following devices.
device-file is /dev/ttyS0
device-file is /dev/ttyS1
device-file is /dev/ttyS4
Serial Port 5 (if installed)
device-file is /dev/ttyS5
Serial Port 6 (if installed)
device-file is /dev/ttyS6
Serial Port 7 (if installed)
device-file is /dev/ttyS7
Serial Port 8 (if installed)
When using our standard PCI serial board no additional software
drivers are needed, but the configuration has to be updated in order to
use the extra serial ports.
Change the directory:
cd /home/spefun/konfigurasjon
Edit the file muligelinjer in a text editor, for example:
nedit muligelinjer (or, emacs muligelinjer)
(Other editors to be used can be gedit, kedit, kate, etc.)
Add the following lines to the file:
/dev/ttyS4
/dev/ttyS5
/dev/ttyS6
/dev/ttyS7
Save and quit.
_(underscore) is included in the command below to indicate
the space character. Therefore, when typing the command,
use the space key instead of underscore.
