Module Driver Configuration

We cover the following topics in this section:

• Building the Moxa Driver

• Installing the Moxa Driver

Building the Moxa Driver

Before using the Moxa driver, you will need to compile all of the source code. This only needs to be done once,

unless you modify the source code. If the source code is modified, then you will need to re-compile it.

To compile the source code, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to

check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the “make” command as follows:

# make

Installing the Moxa Driver

To install the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to

check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the “make install” command as follows:

# make install

The driver files “mxuport.ko” and “mxusbserial.ko” will be compiled and copied to system directories.

Loading the Moxa Driver

To load the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to

check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the “modprobe mxuport” command as follows:

# modprobe mxuport

After loading the Moxa driver, run the following command to check the Moxa serial port

# ls /dev/ttyMXUSB*

NOTE

The serial COM port will be

ttyMXUSB[nnn], nnn = 0~255.

For example,

ttyMXUSB0,ttyMXUSB1 ...

Unloading the Moxa driver

To unload the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to

check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the two “rmmod” commands as follows:

# rmmod mxuport

# rmmod mxusbserial

Uninstalling the Moxa driver

To uninstall the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to

check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the two “make remove” command as follows:

# make remove
