1============================= 2Infinity Usb Unlimited Readme 3============================= 4 5Hi all, 6 7 8This module provide a serial interface to use your 9IUU unit in phoenix mode. Loading this module will 10bring a ttyUSB[0-x] interface. This driver must be 11used by your favorite application to pilot the IUU 12 13This driver is still in beta stage, so bugs can 14occur and your system may freeze. As far I now, 15I never had any problem with it, but I'm not a real 16guru, so don't blame me if your system is unstable 17 18You can plug more than one IUU. Every unit will 19have his own device file(/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1,...) 20 21 22 23How to tune the reader speed? 24============================= 25 26 A few parameters can be used at load time 27 To use parameters, just unload the module if it is 28 already loaded and use modprobe iuu_phoenix param=value. 29 In case of prebuilt module, use the command 30 insmod iuu_phoenix param=value. 31 32 Example:: 33 34 modprobe iuu_phoenix clockmode=3 35 36 The parameters are: 37 38clockmode: 39 1=3Mhz579,2=3Mhz680,3=6Mhz (int) 40boost: 41 overclock boost percent 100 to 500 (int) 42cdmode: 43 Card detect mode 44 0=none, 1=CD, 2=!CD, 3=DSR, 4=!DSR, 5=CTS, 6=!CTS, 7=RING, 8=!RING (int) 45xmas: 46 xmas color enabled or not (bool) 47debug: 48 Debug enabled or not (bool) 49 50- clockmode will provide 3 different base settings commonly adopted by 51 different software: 52 53 1. 3Mhz579 54 2. 3Mhz680 55 3. 6Mhz 56 57- boost provide a way to overclock the reader ( my favorite :-) ) 58 For example to have best performance than a simple clockmode=3, try this:: 59 60 modprobe boost=195 61 62 This will put the reader in a base of 3Mhz579 but boosted a 195 % ! 63 the real clock will be now : 6979050 Hz ( 6Mhz979 ) and will increase 64 the speed to a score 10 to 20% better than the simple clockmode=3 !!! 65 66 67- cdmode permit to setup the signal used to inform the userland ( ioctl answer ) 68 if the card is present or not. Eight signals are possible. 69 70- xmas is completely useless except for your eyes. This is one of my friend who was 71 so sad to have a nice device like the iuu without seeing all color range available. 72 So I have added this option to permit him to see a lot of color ( each activity change the color 73 and the frequency randomly ) 74 75- debug will produce a lot of debugging messages... 76 77 78Last notes 79========== 80 81 Don't worry about the serial settings, the serial emulation 82 is an abstraction, so use any speed or parity setting will 83 work. ( This will not change anything ).Later I will perhaps 84 use this settings to deduce de boost but is that feature 85 really necessary ? 86 The autodetect feature used is the serial CD. If that doesn't 87 work for your software, disable detection mechanism in it. 88 89 90 Have fun ! 91 92 Alain Degreffe 93 94 eczema(at)ecze.com
