USB Miscellaneous driver configuration

"USB Miscellaneous drivers"

    • depends on USB


  • Option: USB_EMI62
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) EMI 6|2m USB Audio interface support
    • depends on USB
      This driver loads firmware to Emagic EMI 6|2m low latency USB Audio and Midi interface.
      After firmware load the device is handled with standard linux USB Audio driver.
      This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called audio. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.


  • Option: USB_EMI26
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) EMI 2|6 USB Audio interface support
    • depends on USB
      This driver loads firmware to Emagic EMI 2|6 low latency USB Audio interface.
      After firmware load the device is handled with standard linux USB Audio driver.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called emi26.


  • Option: USB_AUERSWALD
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB Auerswald ISDN support (EXPERIMENTAL)
    • depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
      Say Y here if you want to connect an Auerswald USB ISDN Device to your computer's USB port.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called auerswald.


  • Option: USB_RIO500
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB Diamond Rio500 support (EXPERIMENTAL)
    • depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
      Say Y here if you want to connect a USB Rio500 mp3 player to your computer's USB port. Please read <file:Documentation/usb/rio.txt> for more information.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called rio500.


  • Option: USB_LEGOTOWER
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB Lego Infrared Tower support (EXPERIMENTAL)
    • depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
      Say Y here if you want to connect a USB Lego Infrared Tower to your computer's USB port.
      This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called legousbtower. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.


  • Option: USB_LCD
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB LCD driver support
    • depends on USB
      Say Y here if you want to connect an USBLCD to your computer's USB port. The USBLCD is a small USB interface board for alphanumeric LCD modules. See <http://www.usblcd.de/> for more information.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called usblcd.


  • Option: USB_LED
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB LED driver support
    • depends on USB
      Say Y here if you want to connect an USBLED device to your computer's USB port.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called usbled.


  • Option: USB_CYTHERM
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) Cypress USB thermometer driver support
    • depends on USB
      Say Y here if you want to connect a Cypress USB thermometer device to your computer's USB port. This device is also known as the Cypress USB Starter kit or demo board. The Elektor magazine published a modified version of this device in issue #291.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called cytherm.


  • Option: USB_PHIDGETKIT
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB PhidgetKit support
    • depends on USB
      Say Y here if you want to connect a PhidgetKit USB device from Phidgets Inc.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called phidgetkit.


  • Option: USB_PHIDGETSERVO
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB PhidgetServo support
    • depends on USB
      Say Y here if you want to connect an 1 or 4 Motor PhidgetServo servo controller version 2.0 or 3.0.
      Phidgets Inc. has a web page at <http://www.phidgets.com/>.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called phidgetservo.


  • Option: USB_IDMOUSE
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) Siemens ID USB Mouse Fingerprint sensor support
    • depends on USB
      Say Y here if you want to use the fingerprint sensor on the Siemens ID Mouse. There is also a Siemens ID Mouse _Professional_, which has not been tested with this driver, but uses the same sensor and may therefore work.
      This driver creates an entry "/dev/idmouseX" or "/dev/usb/idmouseX", which can be used by, e.g.,"cat /dev/idmouse0 > fingerprint.pnm".
      See also <http://www.fs.tum.de/~echtler/idmouse/>.



  • Option: USB_LD
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB LD driver
    • depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
      This driver is for generic USB devices that use interrupt transfers, like LD Didactic's USB devices.
      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ldusb.


  • Option: USB_TEST
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) USB testing driver (DEVELOPMENT)
    • depends on USB && USB_DEVICEFS && EXPERIMENTAL
      This driver is for testing host controller software. It is used with specialized device firmware for regression and stress testing, to help prevent problems from cropping up with "real" drivers.
      See <http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtest/> for more information, including sample test device firmware and "how to use it".
