= About =
This is a small howto compile the spcp8x5 kernel driver module. It's used in some ZWave sticks.

= Instructions =
== Installing Subversion ==
If you don't have Subversion installed do the following:
 sudo apt-get install subversion

== Get the driver ==
Check out the driver from the repository:
 linuxmce@dcerouter:/tmp$ svn co http://svn.charonmedia.org/svn/vendor/spcp8x5
 A    spcp8x5/spcp8x5.c
 A    spcp8x5/Makefile
 Checked out revision 1512.

== Compile the driver ==
Change into the "spcp8x5" directory and build the kernel driver module:
 linuxmce@dcerouter:/tmp/spcp8x5$ make
 make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build M=/tmp/spcp8x5 modules
 make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic'
   CC [M]  /tmp/spcp8x5/spcp8x5.o
   Building modules, stage 2.
   MODPOST 1 modules
   CC      /tmp/spcp8x5/spcp8x5.mod.o
   LD [M]  /tmp/spcp8x5/spcp8x5.ko
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic
 linuxmce@dcerouter:/tmp/spcp8x5$

== Load the modules ==
 linuxmce@dcerouter:/tmp/spcp8x5$ sudo modprobe usbserial
 linuxmce@dcerouter:/tmp/spcp8x5$ sudo insmod spcp8x5.ko

== Install the modules ==
You may have to substitute "2.6.20-15-generic" with your actual kernel version (do a "ls /lib/modules" to find out):
 sudo cp spcp8x5.ko  /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
 sudo depmod -ae

== Verify ==
Plug the device in and use the "dmesg" command to verify the device initialization:
 [ 6007.724000] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for SPCP8x5
 [ 6007.728000] usbcore: registered new interface driver spcp8x5
 [ 6007.728000] /tmp/spcp8x5/spcp8x5.c: SPCP8x5 USB to serial adaptor driver v0.04
 [ 6168.652000] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
 [ 6168.820000] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
 [ 6168.824000] spcp8x5 1-1:1.0: SPCP8x5 converter detected
 [ 6168.824000] usb 1-1: SPCP8x5 converter now attached to ttyUSB1

== View the device id's ==
Use "lsusb" to see the usb device id (this is from the Intermatic HA22):
 Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04fc:0204 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd
If you want Plug and Play you have to add the id to the ZWave device template:
