Hi,

I'm running brickOS(0.2.6.10.6-1) on my debian (kernel2.6.8) using the
/lib/modules/2.6.8-386/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.ko driver for the
usbtower(robotics inventions 2.0 - RCX2.0).
Adding this driver gave me the following kernel message:

Sep 22 18:51:46 ganymedes kernel: drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c: LEGO USB
Tower #0 now attached to major 180 minor 160
Sep 22 18:51:46 ganymedes kernel: drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c: LEGO USB
Tower firmware version is 1.0 build 134
Sep 22 18:51:46 ganymedes kernel: usbcore: registered new driver legousbtower
Sep 22 18:51:46 ganymedes kernel: drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c: LEGO USB
Tower Driver v0.95

Because I didn't had a device linking to major 180 and minor 160, I did :
#/dev/usb/mknod tower0 c 180 160
#/dev/usb/chmod 666 tower0

Ok. So far so good. I loaded the driver again en tried to upload the brickOS
firmware:
ganymedes:~# firmdl3 --tty=/dev/usb/tower0 /usr/lib/brickos/brickOS.srec
/dev/usb/tower0: not a tty

How is this possible? The device should work or is there something I forgott?
Does brickOS need a special patch to use the usb tower?

(...) I am not running Debian linux, but I got it work under Suse linux with a 2.4.6 kernel. There was almost the same problem. I can't find in your kernel message, where the usb tower has been attached. You should check this first, before you are (...) (20 years ago, 5-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
