1 # Fedora Linux {#fedora}
5 This version of Linux has **x64/AMD64 Support Only**. Contact Galil if another version
6 is required for an application.
8 See the \link installation \endlink page for supported versions.
12 On Fedora, gclib is distributed in an RPM repository. The following steps can be performed to install gclib.
14 ### Download Galil's repository information
16 * Point a browser at http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/fedora/galilrpm-1-1.noarch.rpm and install the rpm.
17 * This step installs Galil's RPM repositories and only needs to be done once.
19 <!--- sudo wget http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/fedora/galil.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/galil.repo -->
22 Install gclib package, approve "Installed size" and "Importing GPG key", if prompted.
24 $ sudo yum install gclib
29 $ sudo yum remove gclib
32 * The gclib shared object files
33 * /usr/lib/libgclibo.so
34 * /usr/lib/libgclib.so
35 * The gclib header files
36 * /usr/include/gclib_errors.h
37 * /usr/include/gclibo.h
38 * /usr/include/gclib.h
39 * /usr/include/gclib_record.h
40 * gclib documentation tarball
41 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/gclib_129_doc.tar.gz
42 * Example source tarball
43 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_129_examples.tar.gz
44 * Source files to modify/rebuild libgclibo.so
45 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclibo_129_src.tar.gz
46 * GalilTools Communication Library (gcl) wrapper
47 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_129_gcl.tar.gz
49 * /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_129_pci.tar.gz
53 ##Serial Ports and USB
54 If access to the serial ports or USB (e.g. DMC-4103) is desired through gclib, the following will provide steps to join the correct access group. If using USB, be sure the controller is powered and the usb is plugged in before beginning.
56 ###Determine group with access
58 $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyS*
59 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 64 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS0
60 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 65 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS1
61 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 66 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS2
62 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 67 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS3
63 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Mar 6 11:08 /dev/ttyUSB0
65 In the above listing, **dialout** is the group that needs to be joined. **uucp** is another common group that may be listed.
67 ###Add the desired *username* to the group.
69 $ sudo gpasswd -a username dialout
70 [sudo] password for username:
71 Adding user username to group dialout
73 Log out and back in for change to take effect.
76 username wheel dialout
78 gclib can now connect to serial and usb devices from user *username*.
81 If using a Galil PCI controller, the PCI driver must be installed.
83 ###Install prerequisites
85 $ sudo yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
86 $ sudo yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
87 $ sudo yum install gcc
89 ###Extract source and build driver
91 $ tar -xf /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_202_pci.tar.gz
94 ###Copy module and add to kernel
96 $ sudo cp galilpci.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
98 $ sudo modprobe galilpci
100 ###Add galil group for access to PCI
102 $ sudo groupadd -f -K GID_MIN=100 -K GID_MAX=499 galil
103 $ sudo cp 90-galilpci.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
104 $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
105 $ sudo udevadm trigger
106 $ sudo usermod -a -G galil username #exchange "username" with actual user's name
108 Logout and back in. The PCI hardware is now available for access.
111 crw-rw---- 1 root galil 10, 56 Jun 9 11:07 /dev/galilpci0
112 $ echo -e "\x12\x16\r" > /dev/galilpci0
