What is your path (try by issuing the command "echo $PATH")? By default,
OpenCBM installs itself in /usr/local/bin/. It must be in your path in
order for the tools to be found.

You can also try to run /usr/local/bin/cbmctrl "by hand" by using the
full path. Is it found?

cbmctrl/cbmctrl should work. What is the exact error message? Does it
differ to the error message that you get when you just issue a cbmctrl
(without a path)?

Yes, this applies to IEEE devices, too. I should change the wording a
little bit.

Regards,
Spiro.
