[Nut-upsdev] Nut-upsdev Digest, Vol 206, Issue 5

[Jim Klimov]

Hi, sounds like we're making progress here :)

  Well, if you've tried *all* of those commands, it should have made a
build workspace under /tmp/nut where it has a current NUT codebase build.

  That should include a `/tmp/nut/drivers/huawei-ups2000` binary right
there (assuming you also did follow the link to
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/config-prereqs.txt
and installed the `libmodbus-dev` or equivalent for your OS distribution,
among other prerequisites). This one should suffice to try testing if your
device is supported by that driver.

  The contents of `/lib/nut` are relevant if you've also followed up with
`sudo make install` noted at the end of the doc, to replace your packaged
NUT installation. Perhaps even then, it might not auto-detect the custom
paths to drivers like these and would just place the new ones into /usr/bin
or some such.

  All that said however, if the UPS you are looking at is still the APC
mentioned earlier, I have doubts if the huawei driver would handle it
(might... maybe they are an OEM for rebranding now?..) or if that device
just happens to use the same USB interface chip as some of those Huawei's
did - and perhaps without changing the IDs to APC's (which seems strange,
they have an assigned ID), but talks a different protocol using such chip.
