rfIDEAS Configuration Utility on Arch Linux (March 22nd, 2026)

Do you like Chromium? Me too. I love Chromium. Chromium everything.

Specifically tested with the uniFLOW RDR-80081AGU-NT2-20.

Do you need to install the rfIDEAS Configuration Utility on Arch Linux? Do this.

1. Download the Configuration Utility from https://www.rfideas.com/support/tools/downloads.
   TIP: Do not give them your real email or name or whatever.
   SECOND TIP: You could technically download it from here
2. You have been given a .deb file. Please unpack it / extract it with your software of choice and then unpack the data.tar.zst file inside of it somewhere.
3. Imagining that your extracted folder is called data, please move data/usr/lib/rfideasconfigurationutility6.10.0 to /usr/lib, then ignore everything else.

   | data
   | - usr
   |   - lib
   |     - rfideasconfigurationutility6.10.0	# MOVE THIS TO /usr/lib
   |   - share					# IGNORE THIS
   |   - bin					# IGNORE THIS

4. Install, from the AUR, chromium-ffmpeg and libudev0-shim. Yes. Your card reader needs ffmpeg. Thank god.
5. Edit /usr/lib/rfideasconfigurationutility6.10.0/resources/app/rules.sh as admin and comment out lines 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

   #!/bin/sh
   set -e
   
   #apt-get install -y libudev1
   
   #if uname -m | grep -q '64'; then
   #    ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
   #else
   #    ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
   #fi
   
   printf  'KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c27", MODE="0666"
   KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c27", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3bfa", MODE="0666"SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c27", MODE="0666"
   SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c27", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3bfa", MODE="0666"
   SUBSYSTEM=="tty*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001",
   MODE="0666"
   SUBSYSTEM=="tty*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303",
   MODE="0666"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/rfideas.rules
   
   udevadm control --reload-rules
   udevadm trigger
   
   exit 0

6. Now run /usr/lib/rfideasconfigurationutility6.10.0/rfIDEASConfigurationUtility6.10.0. Congratulations.

People who give more of a shit than I do can go ahead and figure out how to PKGBUILD this.
