Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

so it is not a ftdi or a pl2303 device
:eek::eek::) what it is?? :D
as far as i know, there is no other type of a serial port to usb converter

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

From this post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=19 it looks like you have a Silicon Labs CP2101 chipset.
From your dmesg on page 2:

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

there was a cp2101.ko module in rar archive that i downloaded from blog.locationist.net

i install that module by: insmod cp2101.ko

but still no ttyUSB0 :(

and i realised something it always shows the name of last added module as driver name
for example i install cp2101.ko module and check out dmesg
it says it is a cp2101 silicon labs serial adaptor

then when install ftdi_sio or pl2303 module
it is changing driver's name to installed module.

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

Interesting. Stick your USB to serial adapter in a linux box and see what chipset it uses. Or maybe even a windoze box.

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

ok i've got a driver cd that came with that device
here is its content
E:\Usb To Rs232\XCS-232-340
-340.exe ##which is self-extracting rar file
----it contains 5 files in it :
setup.exe ,
USBSER34.INF ,
USBSER34.SYS ,
USBSER34.VXD ,
USBSER98.INF
E:\Usb To Rs232\XCS-232-2303
-PL2303 driver.exe ##installation wizard file
-remove old driver.exe
-ser2pl.sys
-ser9pl.sys
-serspl.inf
-serspl.vxd
-serwpl.inf

what i do is installing content of first folder
then installing pl2303 driver.
to get it work on my windows desktop

i hope this helps
i can send content of any file above if it helps

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

Okay, can you only insmod the pl2303 .ko and post your dmesg ?

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

any news ?

does the N900 have OTG capabilities

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

no n900 dont have otg capabilities
on n900 you have usb charging instead

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

yes normally but about this thread , some people try different hack for otg and usbhost.

another post on dev seems to be on the same way : hack is possible and need test for enabling usb otg ..

i'm not a n900 user actually , but i read some thread about the kernel OTG capabilité and processor too.

the problem "could" be solve by external hack.
read that :http://maemo.org/community/maemo-dev...0ccb8b29fe29fe

Re: Serialport to Usb converter driver?
 

by the way i still couldnt get that usb-serial converter working with my n810 :(
i could create ttyUSB0 by mknod /dev/ttyUSB0/ c 188 0

so.. please let me know if you can come up with an idea for n810 and usb-serial converter
i can upload windows driver files if it helps
please help :(
