Devices are enumerated but in xminicom and gtkterm they are offline. The VNAminiPro is a new device(ftdi), but the Omnima (cp210x) is a microprocessor board that has worked before. On one box with openSUSE 11.3 RC1 2.6.35-rc3 and another with Kubuntu 2.6.34-020634-generic. On a beagleboard connected via a serial crossover cable --> USB pl2303 I can communicate over /dev/ttyUSB0. openSUSE x86_64 AMD x4 ========================= [343391.192701] usb 6-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 10 [343391.369167] usb 6-3: New USB device found, idVendor=10ab, idProduct=10c5 [343391.369199] usb 6-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [343391.369205] usb 6-3: Product: USB Data Cable [343391.369210] usb 6-3: Manufacturer: Silicon Labs [343391.369214] usb 6-3: SerialNumber: 0001 [343391.373549] cp210x 6-3:1.0: cp210x converter detected [343391.520041] usb 6-3: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 10 [343391.695404] usb 6-3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB1 # lsmod|grep serial usbserial 38093 5 ftdi_sio,cp210x,pl2303 usbcore 207130 17 ftdi_sio,cp210x,rt73usb,rt2500usb,rt2x00usb,usb_storage,snd_usb_audio,gspca_m5602,pl2303,usbserial,usblp,snd_usbmidi_lib,gspca_main,usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd Kubuntu Atom 330 x86_64 dual-core =================================== [1559522.640051] usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6 [1559522.889565] ftdi_sio 3-3:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected [1559522.889648] usb 3-3: Detected FT232RL [1559522.889657] usb 3-3: Number of endpoints 2 [1559522.889665] usb 3-3: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 64 [1559522.889673] usb 3-3: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 64 [1559522.889680] usb 3-3: Setting MaxPacketSize 64 [1559522.892633] usb 3-3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 Another openSUSE box 2.6.35-rc2-git6-smp ========================================= [591452.126136] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 8 [591452.275175] usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001 [591452.275188] usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [591452.275197] usb 4-2: Product: FT232R USB UART [591452.275204] usb 4-2: Manufacturer: FTDI [591452.275210] usb 4-2: SerialNumber: A100efz7 [591452.284943] ftdi_sio 4-2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected [591452.287785] usb 4-2: Detected FT232RL [591452.287794] usb 4-2: Number of endpoints 2 [591452.287802] usb 4-2: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 64 [591452.287809] usb 4-2: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 64 [591452.287816] usb 4-2: Setting MaxPacketSize 64 [591452.293008] usb 4-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
