Installation

Communication is over USB-HID. This is implemented via the hidapi pthon wrapper for the hidapi native library.

On linux you can use udev to grant access:

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/70-silabs.rules
udevadm trigger

Then install some native prerequisites:

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev python-dev

Then pip install:

pip install efm8
