Instructions to install FLI devices
===================================

For FLI (Finger Lake Instruments inc.) devices, you will need FLI drivers. You
can get them from RTS2 GitHUb. RTS2 GitHub packages are patched for few know problems
in official FLI SDK and provides FLIGetSerialNum function.

To get GitHUb version, run:

user@host:~$ git clone https://github.com/RTS2/fliusb

After that, run:

user@host:~$ cd fliusb/fliusb
user@host:~/fliusb/fliusb$ make

As root, run:

root@host:/home/user/fliusb/fliusb$ mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
root@host:/home/user/fliusb/fliusb$ cp fliusb.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
root@host:/home/user/fliusb/fliusb$ depmod -a
root@host:/home/user/fliusb/fliusb$ modprobe fliusb

If dmesg | tail will show something similar to:

FLI USB device found: 'FLI USB MaxCam'
FLI USB device attached; rdepaddr: 0x82; wrepaddr: 0x02; buffersize: 4096; timeout: 5000
registered new interface driver fliusb
fliusb module loaded

then you loaded your driver successfully.

If you like to load driver during each computer boot, add fliusb to
/etc/modules.

Then as normal user:

user@host:~/fliusb/fliusb$ cd ../libfli
user@host:~/fliusb/libfli$ make

Then you will need to run ./configure from rts2 with --with-fli option:

user@host:~/fliusb/libfli$ cd ~/rts2
user@host:~/rts2$ ./configure --without-wcs --with-fli=$HOME/fliusb/libfli

Then run make and (as root) make install. Please see RUN file for details on
that.
