Topic: Newbie questions /mnt/storage and serial usb

I'm trying to get started developing native apps for my chumby.  (classic)

I'm following some instructions on installing the toolchain on the chumby and right off the bat I get stuck.  I don't have a /mnt/storage directory.  I assume theres some mount command I have to run or does the classic not have this feature?


I have a serial/USB adapter I want to use.  Ive been searching all over and can't seem to find a basic tutorial on how to connect to it to make sure it works.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm not very well versed in linux.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Newbie questions /mnt/storage and serial usb

You can't install the toolchain on a chumby classic.  It requires at least a chumby one.

To develop for the classic, you'll have to build a cross development system.

Ok thanks.

So the adapter I have I know is FTDI based, but it does not seem to be recognized by the chumby.

[ 2592.910000] Hub status changed
[ 2592.940000] usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using imx21-hc and address 9
[ 2593.120000] DEV: registering device: ID = '1-3'
[ 2593.140000] bus usb: add device 1-3
[ 2593.140000] bound device '1-3' to driver 'usb'
[ 2593.140000] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 2593.160000] DEV: registering device: ID = '1-3:1.0'
[ 2593.170000] bus usb: add device 1-3:1.0
[ 2593.170000] CLASS: registering class device: ID = 'usbdev1.9'
[ 2593.170000] class_uevent - name = usbdev1.9
[ 2593.170000] class_device_create_uevent called for usbdev1.9

Is there any way to force it to use the built in FTDI driver for this device?
