TC08 on Raspberry Pi

[peterjfrancis]

Has anyone recently got a TC08 running on a Raspberry Pi ?
I worked my way through the instructions for installing the software / drivers but when I run the usbtest script I hit enter for the first 2 prompts and then it disappears .
The TC08 doesn't seem to be present on the usb and the LED doesn't come on.

Has anyone seen the same problem ? And if so how did you fix it ?

Thanks for your help

Hi Peter,

What does the lsusb command show if you call it with the USB TC-08 connected?

These are the recommended steps when installing the drivers and building the example application:

• Open a web browser and go to https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux
• Open a terminal window
• Follow steps 1 to 3 under Debian / Ubuntu / Mint (apt-get) to configure the package manager
• Install the required driver i.e. libusbtc08
• Obtain the files for the usbtc08 example from our GitHub repository
• Copy the usbtc08Con/usbtc08con.c file into the linux-build-files sub-directory in the usbtc08 directory.
• Make the autogen.sh file executable using the command prompt

Code: Select all

chmod +x autogen.sh

• Install the libtool package

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libtool

• Press Y to continue when prompted
• Install the autoconf package

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install autoconf

• Press Y to continue when prompted
• Run the command ./autogen.sh from the folder where the example files are located
• Run the make command
• Connect the USB TC-08 device and call lsusb to check that it has connected
• Run the application

Code: Select all

(sudo) ./usbtc08con

Hi Hitesh,
Thanks for the reply
I've just followed your instructions and I'm still having no success.

When I run usbtc08con it doesn't find my TC08.
However I can see it when I run lsusb .

Any suggestions ?

Have you tried running the usbtest program that we supply in the install ?

It would be useful to see the output from that, lsusb and dmesg

Hi velozricardojr,

We are aware of an issue relating to the download of armhf packages for our drivers.

Please could you e-mail support@picotech.com and we can advise you further.
