Supporting the ACT Solutions ZCU201 USB Z-wave Interface

[totallymaxed]

The new ACT Solutions ZCU201 USB Z-wave Interface uses the SPCP825A USB to UART Controller chip

http://w3.sunplus.com/ShowFeature.asp?body=SPCP825A-001B

The SPCP825A currently has no USB driver support for Linux and therefore the ZCU201 is not detected when attached to a USB port. ACT Solutions have kindly provided me with the source to an Open driver for the SPCP825A to enable a working driver to be developed. As tar as I know this source is working but not fully debugged.

If anyone in the Developer forum would be interested in looking at this driver source to see if a working driver could be put together please get in touch and I will make it available to you.

Let me know if your interested in working on this?

Would if I could, but can't so I won't.

I bet the sample driver is written in C, not C++. You know C? ;-)

ok, gonna dip my toe in here, I should be able to help with some dev/dbg.
 - firstly where can I buy the ZCU201, I've been reading about it from ACT for ages but don't know who supplies it. I've googled and found a few places that supply it - any recommendations? I'm in Ireland.
 - next, totallymaxed, can I get the src please?

thx,
-Coley.

Hi Coley,

I'm not sure who might be stocking it here in Europe currently. Someone else here might want to comment on this. My company will be stocking in the near future for our own installations and when we do we could supply you with a unit.

Send me a private message with your email address or an ftp server and i will send the source to you.
