Archos Recorder
|
|
|
|
The Recorder does not need Björn's ISD200 driver, that was written for and
|
|
is required for Linux to communicate with the Archos Player (and others).
|
|
|
|
The Recorder supports both USB1.1 and USB2.0, and thus you can use either
|
|
version, depending on what your host supports.
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURE YOUR KERNEL
|
|
|
|
(I've tried this using both 2.4.17 and 2.4.18)
|
|
|
|
o Make sure your kernel is configured with SCSI, USB and USB mass storage
|
|
support.
|
|
|
|
USB1.1 ONLY
|
|
|
|
o On USB config page, select 'UHCI' as a (m)odule, as only then will the
|
|
"Alternate Driver" appear in the config. Set that one to (m)odule as
|
|
well. Failing to do this might cause you problems. It sure gave me
|
|
some.
|
|
|
|
USB2.0 ONLY
|
|
|
|
o Make sure you've patched your kernel with the correct USB2 patches:
|
|

|

|
|
group_id=3581&atid=303581
|
|
|
|
o On USB config page, select 'EHCI' as a (m)odule
|
|
|
|
o Rebuild kernel, install, bla bla, reboot the new one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAKE YOUR KERNEL SEE YOUR ARCHOS
|
|
|
|
After having booted your shiny new USB+SCSI kernel, do this:
|
|
|
|
o Very important *first* start your Archos Recorder, and get it connected to
|
|
the USB. Not starting your Archos first might lead to spurious errors.
|
|
|
|
USB 1.1 ONLY
|
|
|
|
o insmod usb-uhci
|
|
|
|
USB 2.0 ONLY
|
|
|
|
o insmod ehci-hcd
|
|
|
|
o insmod usb-storage
|
|
|
|
Now, your Archos Recorder might appear something like this:
|
|
|
|
$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
|
|
Attached devices:
|
|
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
|
|
Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MHN2200AT Rev: 7256
|
|
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
|
|
|
|
And you can also see it as an identified device by checking out the file
|
|
/proc/bus/usb/devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MOUNT THE ARCHOS' FILESYSTEM
|
|
|
|
In my system, my kernel tells me a 'sda1' SCSI device appears. Using this
|
|
info, I proceed to mount the filesystem of my Archos on my Linux:
|
|
|
|
$ mount -f vfat -oumask=0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos
|
|
|
|
(/dev/sda1 may of course not be exactly this name on your machine)
|
|
|
|
You can also make the mount command easier by appending a line to /etc/fstab
|
|
that looks like:
|
|
|
|
/dev/sda1 /mnt/archos vfat noauto,umask=0 0 0
|
|
|
|
So then the mount command can be made as simple as this instead:
|
|
|
|
$ mount /mnt/archos
|
|
|
|
The umask stuff makes it possible for all users to write and delete files on
|
|
the archos file system, not only root. The 'noauto' prevents the startup
|
|
sequence to attempt to mount this file system.
