Linux software that talks to 6-channel master hub?

[jkcunningham]

Hi,
I'm working in the Linux world, new to 1-wire, bought a 6-channel master hub and some sensors and can't figure out how to talk to this hub. I installed owfs but it looks like it only knows how to talk to 9000 series parts, not this hub which goes through a regular old COM port via the maxim 232. Does anyone know what drivers or software is available to talk to this thing? I can code C, C++, and if necessary, Python. It doesn't have to be fancy. Other than running some winapps there's not a whole lot of info on the HobbyBoards site.

Thanks in advance.
Jeff

OWFS should support the Master Hub just fine. The software needs to support a DS9097U serial adapter and a DS2409 based hub to work with the Master Hub.

Your suggestion worked: it mounts just fine with this command:

/opt/owfs/bin/owfs -d /dev/ttyS0 -m /mnt/1wire

ls -l /mnt/1wire

Does anyone know if there's a way to mount this filesystem with userspace permissions?

[edit] Never mind - I just figured it out. Sorry about wasting bandwidth.
For anyone following the thread, its --allow-others on startup, and uncomment the similar option in /etc/fuse.conf
