Hi, I have some usb-to-serial devices, and each can be set with jumpers so that if an 's' was sent to the device, an expected feedback would be 'S0', 'S1', 'S2', 'S3', as a way to identify the device to the system. Currently, each device is detected by the system in the order that they are plugged, having minor id 188, and minor 0..4 etc.... I would like to know if it is possible to modify the ftdi driver, or usb-serial driver, so that when a device is plugged it, it is assigned with a minor number of the device id, instead of sequential minor id. For example: Device Software_ID Major, Minor Number ttyUSB0 S0 188,0 ttyUSB1 S1 188,1 ttyUSB2 S2 188,2 ttyUSB3 S3 188,3 I realize that forcing usb-serial enumeration to be based on software identication can create more protential problems, and conflicts with USB portable (plug n play) design. Since our system will aways have four devices, we always address by software id, USB conflicting is not an issue on here. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
