3331 kaklik 1 i2c-tiny-usb test application - http://www.harbaum.org/till/i2c_tiny_usb
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
3  
4 This simple test application is meant to demonstrate libusb
5 interfacing to the i2c-tiny-usb interface.
6  
7 This is no useful application, if you are only interesting in
8 using the i2c-tiny-usb interface in your linux box please
9 use the kernel driver.
10  
11 Linux
12 -----
13  
14 required packages: libgtk2.0-dev
15  
16 This demo application has been developed under and for linux. Just
17 make sure you have libusb installed. To use this program just
18 compile by typing "make" and run the resulting i2c_usb.
19  
20 Be sure that the i2c-tiny-usb kernel driver is not loaded while
21 running the test application. Otherwise the test application will
22 fail with the follwing error message:
23  
24 USB error: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy
25  
26 This is due to the fact that no two drivers may access the interface
27 at the same time.
28  
29 Windows
30 -------
31  
32 This program can be compiled for windows. This has been tested
33 under Linux using xmingw and the windows port of libusb
34 (see http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net). To install the
35 driver plug the device in and install the driver from
36 the win directory. Then run testapp/i2c_usb.exe
37  
38 This program may also be compiled under windows using cygwin or
39 mingw (which is part of cygwin). In order to use cygwin simply
40 copy usb.h win32-linusb to /cygwin/usr/include and libusb.a to
41 /cygwin/lib and do a "make -f Makefile.cygwin". Don't forget to
42 distribute /cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll with your file to allow it to
43 run in non-cygwin environments as well. No dll is required when using
44 mingw. In that case copy usb.h to /cygwin/usr/include/mingw and
45 libusb.a to /cygwin/lib/mingw. Finally do a "make -f Makefile.mingw".
46  
47 MacOS X
48 -------
49  
50 The program can be compiled under MacOS as well. The fink version
51 of linusb has to be installed and a simple "make -f Makefile.macos"
52 will build the native MacOS X version.
