In particular with newer Linux distributions it can happen that a SIS315x cannot be accessed via USB.
The “OpenTest” program will terminate with the following error message in that case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hello world!

path: 002\/005
vendor: 1657
product: 3153
Error in ‘Sis3150usb_OpenDriver_And_Download_FX2_Setup’: -1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The error is caused by missing write permissions for the USB device. To request the required authorizations, a new udev rule must be added to \/usr\/lib\/udev\/rules.d.
Create the file “99-struck-sis315x.rules” in this directory and add the following content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
