That firmware is proprietary and +cannot be distributed within Debian, but Argyll provides a tool to +extract that firmware from the driver CD provided with the device. + +If you're only using your Spyder2 on one computer, then all you need +to do is run the "spyd2en -S l" utility (as root) while the driver CD +is mounted. spyd2en looks for the CD in a few typical mount points +(/media/ColorVision, /mnt/cdrom, /media/cdrom, /cdrom). If your CD is +mounted somewhere else, just add the location of the "setup.exe" file, +for instance "spyd2en -S l /mnt/tmp/setup/setup.exe". In both cases, +the firmware will be extracted and stored into +/usr/share/color/spyd2PLD.bin, where the other utilities will be able +to look for it when needed. You're done! + +If you use the Spyder2 on several computers, and don't want to carry +the CD and perform the same operation on all, you might like to +generate a Debian package containing the firmware on one computer, and +install that package on the others. A source package is provided in +/usr/share/doc/argyll/examples/spyder2.tar.gz. Here's the procedure +for the first computer: + +- first, extract the firmware with spyd2en (as above); +- then, apt-get install debhelper fakeroot build-essential; +- uncompress the spyder2.tar.gz archive somewhere; + you'll get a argyll-firmware-spyder2 directory; +- in that directory, run "fakeroot debian/rules binary clean"; +- you should get a .deb in the parent directory. + +You can then copy that .deb file to other computers and install it +with "dpkg -i argyll-firmware-spyder2_1.1_all.deb". You're done! + + -- Roland Mas , Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:44:23 +0200 -- cgit v1.2.3
