High Speed USB UART  Board  Question & Answer

  

 Persistent names for usb-serial devices

 

Q: Is there a way in Linux to fix the /dev/ttyUSBx assignment for a specific FT232 ? When I have more than one plugged into a system, the /dev/ttyUSBx assignments get shuffled and this breaks scripts that I have written.

 Fix ttyUSB0 to ttyCOM1

 1. Every USB device has a Vendor ID and a Product ID as seen for instance in lsusb output:

 

2. find serial number for each USB serial Port

udevadm info -a -n /dev/ttyUSB0 | grep '{serial}' | head -n1

 

3. find other USB device information use 

udevadm info --name=/dev/ttyUSB0 --attribute-walk
 

 

4. make udev rules

inside the /etc/udev/rules.d  make file  99-usb-serial.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="tty",ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A504W0XN", SYMLINK+="ttyCOM1"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty",ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A504W0XQ", SYMLINK+="ttyCOM2"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty",ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A504W0XO", SYMLINK+="ttyCOM3"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty",ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A504W0XP", SYMLINK+="ttyCOM4"
 

 

5 .reboot  &  check system

use command    ls /dev     you will see ttyCOMx  & ttyUSBx

 

6. use command   ls -l /dev/ttyCOM1   check

Setting Serial Console Server with ser2net

 

1. search USB port in your system

dmesg | grep tty  

 

2.install ser2net  software 

 

sudo apt-get install ser2net -y

 

3. Configuration

sudo nano /etc/ser2net.conf

 

make ser2net.conf to telnet from other Pi or PC

3001:telnet:600:/dev/ttyCOM4:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner

 

4 from another Pi use telnet to the serial port

install telnet     use command  sudo apt-get install telent

 

Host Name

telnet ?
usage: telnet [-l user] [-a] host-name [port]

 

telnet pi4-4p.local  3000

 

   

 

    Download     

    udev.sh        - collect 4 USB serial number and save file for udev rules

    udev8.sh     - collect 8 USB serial number and save file for udev rules 

   p4-send-order.py    -  send 4 port in order to make sure ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1...ttyUSB3

   p4-u8-send-order.py  -  send 8 port in order to make sure ttyUSB0,ttyUSB1....ttyUSB7

 

  

    Green LED ON in order TXD,TXD2,TXD3,TXD4  to make sure ttyUSB0,ttyUSB1..ttyUSB3 in correct order.
