Ing. Igor Cesko And Atmel Usb Devices Driver Windows 7

Standard USB HID device, no drivers required I found Igor Cesko's web siteand his USB implementation for Atmel AVR microcontrollers. I decided to use it with an ATmega8, and modified it for use as a HID joystick. The device has X/Y axis for the joystick and 13 buttons.

Tips & tricks

BIOS

Latest firmware here
From linux:
Unmount completely your USB stick to be used for flashing fit-pc2, here let's say the USB stick is under /dev/sdb
You may consider backuping your USB content up to the size of the .img to be written on it first, then:

Manually unplug & replug the USB stick

Unmount and use the stick to flash the fit-pc2

Once in the BIOS you may consider activating the CPU virtual extensions (vtx)

Initial login

If you don't want to re-type fit password with sudo, edit /etc/sudoers:

The uncommented line must move to the end to get priority
Then

This will work on next login (as usual when you add yourself to a group)

Video

On my TV, 1900x1080 output with default rate was not working, I had to force rate 60Hz:
Temporarely for testing:

Permanently:

Video Acceleration API

For rendering video, it's better to use the hardware acceleration provided by the GMA500 through the VAAPI.
The box comes with a vaapi-enabled version of mplayer

VLC and VAAPI, not tested

Ubuntu

Don't forget to change your feeds if you don't want the US ones.

Then upgrade all packages
Change timezone:

You may consider installing also java, openssh, synergy,...
Synergy is a great way to control the box hooked to your TV from your laptop!

Compulab provides Ubuntu repositories, e.g. the one for Karmic, providing specific:

kernel
libva, providing the VA API
mplayer with VA API support
Poulsbo video output for Xorg server

Wi-Fi on Ubuntu

First time you type in your Wi-Fi credentials it will prompt for a keyring password. Don't do it if you want the box to be able to start & connect to the network automatically!
If you did so, see here:

To use the box more or less headless you might want it to connect to the Wi-Fi before running a X session for user fit.
Remove network-manager and network-manager-gnome
Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add

Multicast

In this example the wired eth0 is hooked to a multicast-aware network (IPTV)

Prepare for multicast:
Comment the following lines in /etc/sysctl.d/10-network-security.conf :

In some situations people need also to add this for their own IPTV network:

Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add

IR support

See IR support in Ubuntu

This is in fact similar to IR receiver IgorPlug-USB

=> choose Igor Cesko USB IR Receiver

To test (press some keys on the remote):

Debian

Now I abandoned the idea to use it as mediacenter and I'm using it as server for BackupPc.

Installation

Simply booting on a Debian 6.0 netinst ISO 'burned' on a USB HDD.
We needed to install a i686 image but actually images are now multiarch i686/x64, and multi-install-support ISO/USB so that's really easy.
