How do I activate xCORE-200 drivers in Linux?

Post by iainhallamuob »

I support the use of some XMOS boards and we were using XC-1A last year on our CentOS 6 lab. This year we have CentOS 7, and the XC-1A continues to work fine with xTIMEcomposer 14.1.0, but we can't get our new xCORE-200 boards detected.

In the udev/rules.d/99-xmos.rules file I have the following entries:

# 20b1:f7d1 for xmos xtag2
ATTRS{idVendor}=="20b1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f7d1", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="xtag2-%n"

# 20b1:f7d3 for xmos startkit
ATTRS{idVendor}=="20b1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f7d3", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="startkit-%n"

# 0403:6010 for XC-1 with FTDI dual-uart chip
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="xc1-%n"

None of these seems to correspond to the xCORE-200 - am I missing a rule to use this board on Linux?

Kernel version, BTW, is 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64.

Thanks.

Using xrun -l, we discovered that there was no entry for the explorerKit, so I have added the following, which allows xTIMEcomposer to detect the board:

# 20b1:f7d4 for xmos explorerkit
ATTRS{idVendor}=="20b1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f7d4", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="explorerkit-%n"
