CP210x usb serial device - lcdproc


Recommended Posts

I am trying to install a SureElec 20x4 Character LCD device that use a CP201x USB-Serial controller.

 

When I plug the device in a USB port I see it detected with dmesg as :

 

usb 1-5: new full-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd

usb 1-5: new full-speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd

 

lsusb shows:

 

Bus 001 Device 008: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x UART Bridge / myAVR mySmartUSB light

 

However, I get no /dev/ttyUSB0 to tell lcdproc to use.

 

My tougths are that is is missing the proper driver which seeems to be downloadable here in patch:

 

http://www.etheus.net/CP210x_Linux_Driver

 

or here with a makefile:

 

http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx

 

or a guide to recompile kernel here :

But, I dont know where to take it from there. Any help is welcome.

Added that driver for you to unRaid kernel for 6.0.1 release.

Are these drivers still in unraid? I'm not seeing anything show when I plug in usb esp32.

 

It should show up as available via usb serial etc. Instead am loading via my mac. CP2102drivers.

 

As a side is there a way to see what drivers are installed in unraid 6.12?

 

Many Thanks
