Many Linux distributions now include the adutux driver in their binary image.
This web page focuses on using an ADU device in such a system.

These instructions were tested using the following Linux distributions: Fedora 8 Live CD (i686) OpenSUSE 10.3 Live CD (i686) Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD (i686)

4. edit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-adu.rules to include your serial number
5. reload the udev rules with the command:
   

       /sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
   

6. unplug your ADU device and plug it in again
7. check that your device was properly recognized with the command
   

        ls -l /dev/adu*
   

   You should see entries for /dev/adutux0 and /dev/adutux4

8. copy the adu binary executable onto your computer
9. grant execute permission to the adu command (see man pages for chmod)
10. try out the adu command
    

        ./adu -i 4 mk2
        ./adu -r -i rpk
    

    Note: these examples show an ADU200;
    use commands appropriate for your ADU model
