[ts-7000] Need USB printer support for TS-7250

[Kevin Cozens <>]

Greetings, all.

I have been asked to work on a project that uses a TS-7250 board. Part of the 
project involves the need to print pages on a printer connected via USB. My 
plan is to use Ghostscript to handle the actual printing. I set up my desktop 
computer to do cross-compilation for ARM.

The first question I have is whether the stock "demonstration" Linux kernel on 
a TS-7250-64-128F board (Linux kernel 2.4.26-ts11) includes the support for a 
USB printer.

So far, the following commands let the kernel report on the device when I turn 
on the printer:
   modprobe usbcore
   modprobe pcipool
   modprobe usb-ohci
   modprobe usb-ohci-ep93xx

When I do 'cat /proc/devices' I do see "180 usb" but not "184 usb_device". I 
see the 184 line on my desktop computer that can print to a USB printer.

Is there a module or two that I can download to get me the USB printer support 
or do I need to rebuild the kernel? If I rebuild the kernel, can I copy over a 
module or two or do I need to replace the entire kernel and modules on the ARM 
board?

If I have to replace the kernel I think that means I need to get in to RedBoot 
which leads to another question.

How can I get minicom to send a control-C to the board so I can get in to 
RedBoot, or, is there some stty settings I need to change on the serial port? 
So far, the only way I can get in to RedBoot is to boot to Windows and run 
Telix from inside a DOS box.

Kevin.
