Thanks to a SANE patch for CAM from Corey Kempf <ckempf@enigami.com>,
and advice from Corey and Amancio Hasty <hasty@rah.star-gate.com>, SANE is
now up-n-running ELF/CAM on my box controlling my SCSI Microtek E6 Scanner
(under GIMP no less, without a GIMP recompile). Thaks for the help guys!
For the archives, here's what was needed beyond applying Cory's patch,
and building/installing SANE:
1) First, for convenience, wire the scanner down to a specific CAM
pass-through device. Example kernel config line:
device pass0 at scbus0 target 6 unit 0 # CAM passthrough = Scanner
2) Make sure the relevent CAM passthrough and TLI devices exist. In my
case they did (/dev/pass0 and /dev/xpt0, respectively).
3) Open up permissions to those devices so the relevent scanner
users/groups can access them. E.g.:
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 31, 0 Nov 24 18:32 /dev/pass0
crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 104, 0 Nov 17 17:32 /dev/xpt0
works for me since the scanner grp is all that need xpt0 access.
4) Insert the appropriate /dev/pass? device name into your scanner's
SANE config file in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ (mine: microtek.conf). E.g.:
#Uncomment following line to disable "clever precalibration" routines...
#noprecal
scsi * * Scanner
/dev/pass0
NOTE: Unlike pre-CAM SANEs, you cannot create a symlink or hardlink
(e.g. /dev/scanner) pointing to the real pass-through device, and then
add the symlink path to this file. The config file has to literally
contain the /dev/pass? device name.
5) Then fire up the scanner, rescan the bus (camcontrol rescan 0),
make sure the scanner is there (camcontrol devlist), and scan away!
