The LogicBox communicates with the PC through a USB interface. Depending on the LogicBox model different drivers will be needed. The main platform supported is windows. Even though there are drivers and software for Linux (for the LogicBox DL701 and DL708) we cannot help if you are having troubles with it.


DL701 and DL708

This LogicBox uses a USB 1.1 chip from FTDI. This LogicBox model works under Linux, Mac and Windows.

DL706 and DL709

This LogicBox uses a USB 2.0 chip from Cypress.

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++/branches/Linux

Make the LogicBox accessible to all users

 echo SUBSYSTEMS=='"'usb'"', ATTRS{idVendor}=='"'16dc'"', ATTRS{idProduct}=='"'0013'"', GROUP='"'plugdev'"', MODE='"'0660'"' > 20-LogicBox.rules
 sudo mv 20-LogicBox.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Check the libusb installation library

Check the LogicBox

 sudo lsusb

Modify the Makefile if necessary
