I would like to use a PortServer to communicate with multiple remote serial devices from an embedded Arm9-based host.
The host is running fairly standard Debian linux and has native ethernet.
The driver RPM download suggests it is only valid for x86 architectures.
Can the source be built for the Arm?
I can compile directly on this machine.
Thanks,
I have compiled the driver in amd64, x86_64 and ppc without any problems, so the driver is not limited to a particular architecture.
Although not supported by Digi, I have seen the driver compiled for embedded platforms and see no reason it would not work for you.
Of course, this involves more work than the average person, because you will have to set up a cross-compiler,
as well as getting the driver to compile against the kernel sources running on the embedded unit.
You should get the tgz version of the driver from Digi’s web-site, and will have to tinker with the “configure” script to make your setup work.
