                Cypress Semiconductor Corporation
               CyUSB Suite For Linux, version 1.0.5
               ====================================

Pre-requisites:

1. libusb-1.0.x is required for compilation and functioning of the API library.
2. Native gcc/g++ tool-chain and the GNU make utility are required for compiling the library and application.
3. qt5 is required for building the cyusb_linux GUI application. (apt-get install qt5-default for Ubuntu 20.04)
4. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04
5. The pidof command is used by the cyusb_linux application to handle hot-plug of USB devices.

Installation Steps:

1. cd to the main directory where files where extracted and execute 'make'. This will compile the libcyusb library and create a static library.

   For example, if the archive is extracted to /home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5; then e.g.: user@desktop:/home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5 $ make

2. Make sure that the install.sh script is executable by changing the mode of install.sh file. e.g.: user@desktop:/home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5 $ chmod +x install.sh

3. The install.sh script compiles the cyusb_linux GUI application, and installs the libcyusb library and the application in the system directories (/usr/local/). It also sets up a set of UDEV rules and updates the environment variables under the /etc directory.

   As these changes require root (super user) permissions, the install.sh script needs to be executed from a root login.

   e.g.: root@desktop:/home/user/cyusb_linux_1.0.5 $ ./install.sh

4. The GUI application can now be launched using the 'cyusb_linux' command.
