Then, I plug my old device in a free USB port, and lsusb reports: ID 0451:2036 Mct_u232: z2.1:Magic Control Technology USB-RS232 converter driver Usbcore: registered new interface driver mct_u232 After having edited /etc/rcS.conf to include the module among those automatically loaded at startup, dmesg reports: USB Serial support registered for MCT U232 Here's what I got once I followed mojo's directions. SliTaz is so good, it deserves a better support in this area. Kind You're great!!!! I was ready to take the hard way but, to be honest, I felt some troubles in my knees and was not very sure about the Think seriously on including mojo's work in future releases on the system. I mention it just to report everything I have seen I can't tell if it is important or not. It is not important: the application should run with no keyboard or mouse attached. to register the adapter, identify it and establish the new driver. Last comment (it could be normal, but I must mention it anyway): I am using USB keyboard and mouse as soon as I plug the USB serial adapter in, the keyboard freezes for a while I assume it does so for as long as it takes for the o.s. ![]() Moreover, it just works with whatever vendor+product codes I write along with modprobe I wouldn't be free to use any adapter, but the one I put in. Second to it, but important as well: how do I set this up so that it is automatically or permanently configured? I have noticed the 'modprobe' trick works for the current session only and I should run it every time I restart the o.s. After reconfiguring it to use ttyUSB0 instead of ttyS0, I try to open the communications channel up and it miserably fails to show any life. I had been using it with ttyS0 before our customer ruined it (along with my own serial adapter), so it was already configured to match flow control (no), speed, parity, and so on (9600, n,8,1) in the laptop. You were right!įine, isn't it? Well, not that fast! I use minicom to communicate with my laptop. Now, as soon as I plug my Belkin USB Serial Adapter into the free USB port, the system detects it and a /dev/ttyUSB0 appears. Kind and time, I managed to ensure I was playing root when running modprobe. I has not been enough this time.Īny hint on how to get those adapters working? I usually need no more than a hint on where to look / try. ![]() However, I am afraid this is something beyond my current skills. I read some posts in this forum saying SliTaz kernel has no support for USB Serial adapters, that you may recompile the kernel or just a module to include support for them. There's a '/dev/usb' directory, populated by six 'hiddevx' directories, but nothing about 'ttyUSBx' there either. '/dev' has no 'ttyUSBx', no matter where I plug my adapter, even if it registers 'lp0'. ![]() I tried to read whatever this forum has to say, but found the posts were too old to cover the new release (4.0), or so they seem.Įven if I installed 'usbids' package, 'lsusb' keeps yielding just the port, location, vendor and product codes 'lsusb' says nothing about manufacturer, the part itself, or whatever. It brings me to this forum no matter how I formulate my request. It even managed to register the printer connection (/dev/lp0) through SliTaz 4.0, but nothing for the serial port. ![]() I tried my old adapter (from Targus, with a printer connection and a serial connection, on top of a USB replicator), and it registered properly as USB device attached. It recognizes the USB device, but refuses to open the ttyUSB0 it was supposed to. So I went to the damaged computer and tried to use one of the new USB-to-serial adapters (from Belkin) to work on it (it has three USB ports). Before plugging them into the industrial computer (with SliTaz 4.0), I checked both of them in my XUbuntu 12.04 based laptop. I borrowed a second USB-serial adapter from my customer and put an old one of mine to work. However, I had a demonstration last Wednesday in a customer's facility and they managed to ruin my USB-to-serial adapter and the industrial computer serial port, which is how it was intended to receive commanding orders from outdoors. It has a 2 GB CompactFlash "drive" and there's where I put SliTaz to work.īy the way, it's amazing what SliTaz have achieved with so little a footprint.Įverything is running smooth. I have installed SliTaz 4.0 in an industrial computer from iEi just a couple of weeks ago. This is my first post so please be indulgent with me.
