- reload the udev rules with the command:
/sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
- unplug your ADU device and plug it in again
- check that your device was properly recognized with the command
ls -l /dev/adu*
You should see entries for /dev/adutux0 and /dev/adutux4
- copy the adu binary executable onto your computer
- grant execute permission to the adu command (see man pages for chmod)
- try out the adu command
./adu -i 4 mk2
