Hi Reto!
I just set it up two weeks ago, here is what I did (in general
description):
How to set up leJOS in Linux and use the USB Mindstorms Legotower:
* get current CVS version because leJOS 2.0 does not support the USB
Tower in Linux. Look at google for the sourceforge site, there is a
description how to get the cvs tree.
* in the directory "tools/linux/legousbtower" is the driver for Linux.
Read the readme file there to see how to install it. AND remember to
load the module! You could copy it manually into the module directory
and change your rc script to load it at boot time.
* "make" all the rest
* if you want to use all this now you have to set RCXTTY=usb (export
RCXTTY=usb) - usb in small letters!! And of course load the module. As
far as I can remember it "should" work then. Of course you also have to
set CLASSPATH when you want to download any files.
I hope this does the job. Remember to get the current CVS version
because in the 2.0 version the usb-tower is not supported.
Tell me if it worked and what you had to do more than what stands here
and what you had to do differently. For me it works now.
greetings,
Raphael

Hi,
I am painfully trying to set up the lejos2.0 on linux (SuSE8.0 and or
Knoppix3.1) with an USB-ir-Tower.
First I could not do the make as it says that the libirtower.so is
missing.
That is true. Instead I've found a irtower.dll
file which probably should not belong there?! (I really downloaded the
unix-Version!) So I simply renamed the .dll to the
.so file which was accepted by make. (Okey, some warnings... but the
rest
was fine). Was that my first misstake?
Then I tried to dump the firmware with lejosfirmdl, but I could not find
any
setting for RCXTTY to successfully connect
the USB-Tower. (Tried with /dev/ttyUSB1 and many other devices)
And now I am standing at that point and am desperately seeking for help.
Please, if anybody could help me... I'll send you a beer ;-)
