usb_serial_simple

[timrudorf]

I would love to see "usb_serial_simple" added to the kernel.

I need my TETRA PEI device to be detected as tty*

[GRRRRRRR]

What do you mean, added to the kernel? Shouldn't it be a ko file that can be insmodded when needed? I am confused.

 

Please share more details.

 

I use some stuff like this for home automation as well maybe it will be useful for me.

[timrudorf]

Sadly there is no ko file for usb_serial_simple that can be added by modprobe.

When I use my device with a Debian VM, it works out of the box. When I check the driver’s name with „lsusb“ it is called „usb_serial_simple“

I am not sure how that is supposed to work. But I remember there were some Ko files that were later integrated into the kernel itself. So something similar may be happening with this stuff.

 

Meanwhile, you can try to compile this stuff  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/usb/serial to see what ko files come out of it if any... ?

And here I found some info how to compile kernel + modules for more specifically slackware  maybe a module with be available that has this tty driver

There is already the plugin USB Serial in the CA App from @SimonF please try it and see if it is working (reboot required after installation).

 

I don‘t know what this device and I don‘t know if the plugin does handle this device too, please keep me updated if it is working for you.

 

If not I can look into it what‘s needed to add it to the plugin.

@ich777 the plugin has serial_options so serial_simple would need to be added.

TETRA PEI

Can you please explain what this is and maybe a link to it?

 

I will have a look at that, I‘m assuming you are on 6.11.5 correct?

I already tried this one but I did not restart my system after the installation. I will try this again later and keep you updated.

May i ask if you use this in combination with software?

 

I will keep you updated about that (will take me a bit because I‘m currently mot at home), have to look into it what other modules it pulls in.

Can you post your Diagnostics with the device attached, I‘m mostly interested in the vendor and device ID.

Please do the following:

1. Make sure that you have installed @SimonF's plugin "USB Manager Serial Options addon"
2. Download the attached txz and txz.md5 package from this post
3. Navigate through SMB or your favorite SCP software to /boot/config/plugins/Usb_manager_serial_options_addon/packages/5.19.17/
4. Delete the existing txz and txz.md5 in this folder
5. Place the downloaded files from the attachment in the above mentioned folder
6. Reboot

 

After that the module should be available and hopefully should be loaded automatically.

Please let me know if it is loaded automatically, so to speak if the device is found automatically and the driver is loaded or if you have to do a manually with:

modprobe usb-serial-simple

 

Please note that the this attached packages will only work on Unraid 6.11.5!

 

Keep me updated and I can add it to the plugin.

usbserial-20230219-5.19.17-Unraid-1.txz usbserial-20230219-5.19.17-Unraid-1.txz.md5

Did it work OOB?

There was a reason why I wrote that you should tell me if it works without doing the modprobe or with the modprobe because I want to add this module to the plugin and I have to maybe edit the plugin if you had to do the manual modprobe.
