Linux
The LogicBox is now running under Linux. All test are done with ubuntu but should work with others Linux distributions. The open source library "libusb " is used in order to control the LogicBox. To install the library and give access to the LogicBox to all user follow this installations instructions:
Install the libusb library
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0
Install the C++ compiler
sudo apt-get install g++
Install the LogicBox source code
sudo apt-get install subversion svn checkout http://hwstar.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/svn/LB_C++/trunk/
Make the LogicBox accessible to all users
echo SUBSYSTEMS=='"'usb'"', ATTRS{idVendor}=='"'16dc'"', ATTRS{idProduct}=='"'0013'"', GROUP='"'plugdev'"', MODE='"'0660'"' > 20-LogicBox.rules
echo SUBSYSTEMS=='"'usb'"', ATTRS{idVendor}=='"'0403'"', ATTRS{idProduct}=='"'6001'"', GROUP='"'plugdev'"', MODE='"'0660'"' >> 20-LogicBox.rules
echo SUBSYSTEMS=='"'usb'"', ATTRS{idVendor}=='"'0403'"', ATTRS{idProduct}=='"'b990'"', GROUP='"'plugdev'"', MODE='"'0660'"' >> 20-LogicBox.rules
sudo mv 20-LogicBox.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
Check the libusb installation library
Check the LogicBox. It should show one USB device with ID 0013:16dc or ID 6001:b990
