Getting started
From the project's README ("Automatically loading at boot"):
While you can manually load these drivers with insmod, people usually prefer to have them loaded automatically on each boot.
The following is an example of using the Homebrew Channel init system to load the ch341.ko driver, assuming it is located in /home/root:
cat >/home/root/insmodserial.sh <<'EOF' #!/bin/sh
insmod /home/root/ch341.ko EOF chmod +x /home/root/insmodserial.sh ln -s /home/root/insmodserial.sh /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/10-insmodserial
If you are using a different driver, just replace ch341.ko with its filename.
This will create a script named /home/root/insmodserial.sh and a symbolic link to it in /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d.
If you want to temporarily stop the module from being loaded, you can delete the link:
rm /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/10-insmodserial
To re-enable it, create the link again:
ln -s /home/root/insmodserial.sh /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/10-insmodserial
