Many Linux distributions now include the adutux driver in their binary image.
This web page focuses on using an ADU device in such a system.

These instructions were tested using the following Linux distributions: Fedora 8 Live CD (i686) OpenSUSE 10.3 Live CD (i686) Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD (i686)

Quick Start

Click the plus signs for more details.

1. Plug in your ADU device.
2. check the dmesg output for your ADU serial number
3. Copy 10-adu.rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/
4. edit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-adu.rules to include your serial number
5. reload the udev rules with the command:
   

       /sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
   

6. unplug your ADU device and plug it in again
7. check that your device was properly recognized with the command
   

        ls -l /dev/adu*
   

   You should see entries for /dev/adutux0 and /dev/adutux4

8. copy the adu binary executable onto your computer
9. grant execute permission to the adu command (see man pages for chmod)
10. try out the adu command
    

        ./adu -i 4 mk2
        ./adu -r -i rpk
    

    Note: these examples show an ADU200;
    use commands appropriate for your ADU model
