The SAM is accessed via a QuickUSB channel, which requires both a kernel module and a Python library. I currently install this manually, but need to package it. |

Bump. QuickUsb stopped maintaining this several years ago, but we not only need to use a python3-ized version of the the python module, but also need to apply a patch to the kernel driver to support kernels newer than the Centos 3.10.0-327. Their current license would make that hard to track – I think a private repo would be in order. The good news is that they are putting their code up on GitHub and are planning to MIT-ize the license. |
