Kernel config for UPS support

[ingo2]

I just checked the kernel-config for 2.6.39.4-9 on B2 and found that

Code: Select all

# USB Input Devices
#
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
# CONFIG_HID_PID is not set
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y

HIDDEV is set now, which means that it can handle APC UPS'.

When do we get the same kernel configuration for B3?

With kind regards,
Ingo

NFS v4 server support was only enabled for B3, and not for B2. What was the reason?

[einar]

Nevermind, I looked at the wrong kernel config.... (isn't there a way to edit posts?)

Ingo,
HIDDEV is set now, which means that it can handle APC UPS'.
Have you been successful in getting this up and running on 2.4.1?
My installation does not create the udev rule required to provide hiddev.
I'm not sure that I have much time to address tis at present but would like to get apcupsd working on both B2 and B3s.

cheers,
aardric

aardric,

I cannot test yet whether it works on B3 because the firmware with the HIDDEV enabled kernel is still not released.

I got Debian-Squeeze-amd64 here on my PC attached to an APC UPS via USB-cable. What I can see here is that the correspondig device node is:

Code: Select all

/dev/usb/hiddev0

and the udev-rule which is responsible for UPS' is:

Code: Select all

/lib/udev/rules.d/95-upower-hid.rules

So you could check on your B2 if both exist. apcupsd support has been tested by Cheeseboy, see in this thread:
http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2748.

Maybe that

Code: Select all

CONFIG_HID_PID=y

has to be enabled as well, bit it is not in the config of the current B2-kernel. CONFIG_HID_PID=y is intended for some force feedback joysticks, but on all machines where I use APC UPS this is enabled as well besides HIDDEV.

Cheeers,
Ingo

Unfortunately there is no possiblity to attach a file here, I do copy my udev-rule as mentioned above. So in case it is missing on your device you could give it a try - shoud be independend of architcture:

Another thing to check (either in messages or dmesg):

Look for these lines:

Code: Select all

usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev

and shortly afterwards:

Code: Select all

generic-usb 0003:051D:0002.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device [American Power Conversion Back-UPS CS 650 FW:817.v4.I USB FW:v4] on usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input0

Ingo,
Thanks a lot. I may have to wait until I get back after Easter but I will indeed look into this. I suppose this thread should be carried over to B2 and B3 support.

Moved this topic to support.

Tested on the new B2 2.4.1 image as well, and it works just fine. No need to change any udev rules, etc.
This is out of the box, only modified apcups.conf:

syslog:

For those not familiar with apcupsd, please also edit and set:

/etc/default/apcupsd

Code: Select all

ISCONFIGURED=no -> yes

otherwise the daemon won't start.
