Have you tested 2.0.4 ? It should work as it use the same driver as
2.0.3.

Recomend you to set the baud_rate in ups.conf.
Then you don't see all the baudhunting errors.

The problem come from reading the 'ups topology data'.

I suppose you are building from source so can you comment out
this in the bcmxcp.c file.

from line 735 to 741 in bcmxcp.c.

Like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	/* Get information on Phases from UPS */
/*	res = command_read_sequence(PW_UPS_TOP_DATA_REQ, answer);
	if (res <= 0)
		fatal_with_errno("Could not communicate with the ups");

	nphases = (answer[0] & 0x0F) +1;
	dstate_setinfo("input.phases", "%d", nphases); */
---------------------------------------------------------------------

And change line 59

int nphases = 0;

to

int nphases = 1;


Then build and test the driver.

I check why it is returning a request command 9.

It may be that the topology data block is not implemented in
the compaq ups.

Kjell

Thanks for reporting this. Sorry that it had to be in the
release and not in the testing or trunk.
