Linux Support for SmartNAV

Post by yusufk »

Hi, I've been looking for linux drivers for the SmartNAV 2.0 and have so far only come up with the drivers available at http://trackir.superlucidity.net/

The drivers are pretty useless without the firmware and it seems that links to the firmware which used to be available on this site are now unavailable: http://www.naturalpoint.com/files/Track ... switch.hex

Where can I get the firmware files from?

I have a new version of the package that should support all current and past models of the trackIR and SmartNAV.

In addition to having the firmware files included in the distribution package, this update uses libusb to talk with the device and no longer requires you to patch your kernel.

If you would like to receive a copy of this next version before it is released, please send an email to trackir@superlucidity.net and we'll give you the required download information.

Cheers,
