What kind of Linux do you have on it? Debian? OpenWRT? OpenEmbedded? Other?

For me running a raspberry pi hardware (ARM) with debian the following worked like a charm:

sudo apt-get install libftdi1

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ stable main

wget http://download.telldus.se/debian/telldus-public.key
sudo apt-key add telldus-public.key
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install telldus-core

But when looking into your piece of hardware where they dont say anything about linux distribution I guess you will have a much harder time than following the above.
Probably you are missing apt-get

Good luck!

Then you will need to compile the packages yourself. If you are new to Linux it will probably be quite hard.
First of you need a woking compiler and toochain. Unfortunately I cannot help you there. How to do that is board/distribution specific.

ftdi_sio is not needed with version 2.1.0 or later.

You also need to tell cmake which compiler to use.

What do you get if you run the "file" utility on the file?

Code: Select all

$ file tdtool

Are you running on the target board or your computer?

You can try it on your computer where you have built the application. The file utility should probably be available there.
