Title: USB Gecko and Linux? Post by: [email protected] on July 25, 2013, 03:05:29 AM how would i get my USB Gecko and Gecko.NET to work via linux. i know i would have to run geckodotnet through Wine to get that to work but what about the drivers and junk for the Gecko itself?
Title: Re: USB Gecko and Linux? Post by: megazig on July 25, 2013, 04:28:34 AM usbgecko drivers can be handled mostly natively. ftdi could be used.
geckodotnet also works with mono with special builds. not sure where those can be had Title: Re: USB Gecko and Linux? Post by: [email protected] on July 25, 2013, 02:41:28 PM Or you emulate Windows to run it. VirtualBox?

(A device named /dev/ttyUSB0 is created). There is enough source code downloadable so even an average programmer like me could figure out how to address it and write a new frontend. I highly doubt wine can access the Serial to USB converter part of the gecko, while with Virtualbox that COULD work, but is unnecessary. |
