| 1 | How To Connect your Archos to Your Linux | ||

| 8 | Archos Recorder | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | The Recorder does not need Björn's ISD200 driver, that was written for and | ||
| 11 | is required for Linux to communicate with the Archos Player (and others). | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | The Recorder supports both USB1.1 and USB2.0, and thus you can use either | ||
| 14 | version, depending on what your host supports. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | CONFIGURE YOUR KERNEL | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | (I've tried this using both 2.4.17 and 2.4.18) | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | o Make sure your kernel is configured with SCSI, USB and USB mass storage | ||
| 21 | support. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | USB1.1 ONLY | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | o On USB config page, select 'UHCI' as a (m)odule, as only then will the | ||
| 26 | "Alternate Driver" appear in the config. Set that one to (m)odule as | ||
| 27 | well. Failing to do this might cause you problems. It sure gave me | ||
| 28 | some. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | USB2.0 ONLY | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | o Make sure you've patched your kernel with the correct USB2 patches: | ||
| 33 | [the following is a single URL, split here to look nicer] | ||
| 34 | http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=503534& \ | ||
| 35 | group_id=3581&atid=303581 | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | o On USB config page, select 'EHCI' as a (m)odule | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | o Rebuild kernel, install, bla bla, reboot the new one | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | MAKE YOUR KERNEL SEE YOUR ARCHOS | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | After having booted your shiny new USB+SCSI kernel, do this: | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | o Very important *first* start your Archos Recorder, and get it connected to | ||
| 48 | the USB. Not starting your Archos first might lead to spurious errors. | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | USB 1.1 ONLY | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | o insmod usb-uhci | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | USB 2.0 ONLY | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | o insmod ehci-hcd | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | o insmod usb-storage | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | Now, your Archos Recorder might appear something like this: | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi | ||
| 63 | Attached devices: | ||
| 64 | Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 | ||
| 65 | Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MHN2200AT Rev: 7256 | ||
| 66 | Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | And you can also see it as an identified device by checking out the file | ||
| 69 | /proc/bus/usb/devices. | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | MOUNT THE ARCHOS' FILESYSTEM | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | In my system, my kernel tells me a 'sda1' SCSI device appears. Using this | ||
| 76 | info, I proceed to mount the filesystem of my Archos on my Linux: | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | $ mount -f vfat -oumask=0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | (/dev/sda1 may of course not be exactly this name on your machine) | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | You can also make the mount command easier by appending a line to /etc/fstab | ||
| 83 | that looks like: | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | /dev/sda1 /mnt/archos vfat noauto,umask=0 0 0 | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | So then the mount command can be made as simple as this instead: | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | $ mount /mnt/archos | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | The umask stuff makes it possible for all users to write and delete files on | ||
| 92 | the archos file system, not only root. The 'noauto' prevents the startup | ||
| 93 | sequence to attempt to mount this file system. | ||
