Hi,
I installed a debian 9 on a very old PC driving a terminal technibraille alize 64 on serial port. The brllty service was not installed at installation process since we did not catched the precise place to do it. Hence we installed brltty after base installation by issuing apt-get install brltty. By default is suspect that brltty is configured to run in auto mode. In fact if I plug an alva satellite 570 pro it is immediatly detected and brllty is launched correctly. I suspect that something is done by udev in this starting process, since even if service is not active, it is activated by plugging the alva terminal. Anyway I do not want to drive the alva terminal on this PC but an technibraille alize 64 that is not usb connected and hence no autodetected even by udev nor by brltty itself. I modified parameters in configuration file setting braille driver to tn and braille device to ttyS0 (trying ttyS1 as well since there are two serial ports on this machine and did not investigate how udev names them). But after restarting the service nothing happen. More precisely a brllty process is present but nothing is displayed on the braille terminal except its own starting message. I must precise: -- 1. We only change the system and nothing else i.e. no change on the PC nor braille terminal. This stuf has been working with a RH 8 (obsolete) and brllty 3.9 with parameters -b tn -d /dev/ttyS0 perfectly before. -- 2. Current debian provided brltty version is 5.4 but I suspect that in fact tn driver has not change (we had discusssions about it on this list in the past.) Anyway things may have change in brllty upper layer making things no longer working with tn driver (not probable in my opinion.) If someone get a technibraille alize 64 work with a recent debian and (brltty Raphaël maybe !) please tell me how it was configured. If you have other configuration recommendations please tell me as well. Regards Pierre _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
