|
||
|
|
the computer you're trying to access the hardware from.
|

|
||
|

## Notes about udev rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our udev rules include use of the 'uaccess' tag which means either rules file should just work
|
||
|
|
on any modern distro that uses systemd. The specific user access group only matters when not using
|
||
|
|
systemd, or on older distros that predate the user access tag.
