Readme for Linux device driver for the Texas Instruments SilverLink cable
and direct USB cable provided by some TI's handhelds.

INTRODUCTION:
This is a driver for the TI-GRAPH LINK USB (aka SilverLink) cable, a cable
designed by TI for connecting their TI8x/9x calculators to a computer
(PC or Mac usually). It has been extended to support the USB port offered by
some latest TI handhelds (TI84+ and TI89 Titanium).
If you need more information, please visit the 'SilverLink drivers' homepage
at the above URL.
WHAT YOU NEED:
A TI calculator of course and a program capable to communicate with your
calculator.
TiLP will work for sure (since I am his developer !). yal92 may be able to use
it by changing tidev for tiglusb (may require some hacking...).
HOW TO USE IT:
You must have first compiled USB support, support for your specific USB host
controller (UHCI or OHCI).
Next, (as root) from your appropriate modules directory (lib/modules/2.5.XX):
insmod usb/usbcore.o
insmod usb/usb-uhci.o <OR> insmod usb/ohci-hcd.o
insmod tiglusb.o
If it is not already there (it usually is), create the device:
mknod /dev/tiglusb0 c 115 16
You will have to set permissions on this device to allow you to read/write
from it:
chmod 666 /dev/tiglusb0
Now you are ready to run a linking program such as TiLP. Be sure to configure
it properly (RTFM).
MODULE PARAMETERS:
You can set these with: insmod tiglusb NAME=VALUE
There is currently no way to set these on a per-cable basis.
NAME: timeout
TYPE: integer
DEFAULT: 15
DESC: Timeout value in tenth of seconds. If no data is available once this
time has expired then the driver will return with a timeout error.
QUIRKS:
The following problem seems to be specific to the link cable since it appears
on all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS-X).
In some very particular cases, the driver returns with success but
without any data. The application should retry a read operation at least once.
HOW TO CONTACT US:
You can email me at roms@lpg.ticalc.org. Please prefix the subject line
with "TIGLUSB: " so that I am certain to notice your message.
You can also mail JB at jb@jblache.org: he has written the first release of
this driver but he better knows the Mac OS-X driver.
CREDITS:
The code is based on dabusb.c, printer.c and scanner.c !
The driver has been developed independently of Texas Instruments Inc.
