^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 5) Hi all,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) This module provide a serial interface to use your
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) IUU unit in phoenix mode. Loading this module will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) bring a ttyUSB[0-x] interface. This driver must be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) used by your favorite application to pilot the IUU
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) This driver is still in beta stage, so bugs can
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) occur and your system may freeze. As far I now,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) I never had any problem with it, but I'm not a real
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) guru, so don't blame me if your system is unstable
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) You can plug more than one IUU. Every unit will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) have his own device file(/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1,...)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) How to tune the reader speed?
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) =============================
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) A few parameters can be used at load time
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) To use parameters, just unload the module if it is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) already loaded and use modprobe iuu_phoenix param=value.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) In case of prebuilt module, use the command
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) insmod iuu_phoenix param=value.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) Example::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) modprobe iuu_phoenix clockmode=3
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) The parameters are:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) clockmode:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) 1=3Mhz579,2=3Mhz680,3=6Mhz (int)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) boost:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) overclock boost percent 100 to 500 (int)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) cdmode:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) Card detect mode
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) 0=none, 1=CD, 2=!CD, 3=DSR, 4=!DSR, 5=CTS, 6=!CTS, 7=RING, 8=!RING (int)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) xmas:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) xmas color enabled or not (bool)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47) debug:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) Debug enabled or not (bool)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50) - clockmode will provide 3 different base settings commonly adopted by
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 51) different software:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53) 1. 3Mhz579
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 54) 2. 3Mhz680
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 55) 3. 6Mhz
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 56)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 57) - boost provide a way to overclock the reader ( my favorite :-) )
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 58) For example to have best performance than a simple clockmode=3, try this::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) modprobe boost=195
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62) This will put the reader in a base of 3Mhz579 but boosted a 195 % !
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 63) the real clock will be now : 6979050 Hz ( 6Mhz979 ) and will increase
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 64) the speed to a score 10 to 20% better than the simple clockmode=3 !!!
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 65)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 66)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 67) - cdmode permit to setup the signal used to inform the userland ( ioctl answer )
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 68) if the card is present or not. Eight signals are possible.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 69)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 70) - xmas is completely useless except for your eyes. This is one of my friend who was
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 71) so sad to have a nice device like the iuu without seeing all color range available.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 72) So I have added this option to permit him to see a lot of color ( each activity change the color
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 73) and the frequency randomly )
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 74)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 75) - debug will produce a lot of debugging messages...

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 80)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 81) Don't worry about the serial settings, the serial emulation
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 82) is an abstraction, so use any speed or parity setting will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 83) work. ( This will not change anything ).Later I will perhaps
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 84) use this settings to deduce de boost but is that feature
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 85) really necessary ?
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 86) The autodetect feature used is the serial CD. If that doesn't
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 87) work for your software, disable detection mechanism in it.
