I am trying to connect minicom to a serial device that is connected via a USB-to-serial adapter. This is a PL2303 and from everything I've read no additional drivers are required. The device is.

  1. I have a question regarding the ports in Linux. If I connect my device via USB and want to check its port I can't do it using the command lsusb, which only specifies bus number and device number on this bus: ziga@Ziga-PC $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC.
  2. Finally, you will need to connect through to serial device /dev/ttyUSB0. This easiest way to do this is via 'minicom'. Once you have issued the following command it will present you with a menu. Change (within the 'serial port setup' option) the service device to /dev/ttyUSB0 and any other settings i.e baud rate etc.
  3. May 12, 2008  That is the reason why people still sell USB-Serial adapter to those electronic DIY enthusiast. Here’s how to enable USB-Serial port adapter in Ubuntu Linux (with credit to Freeman from RepRap forum) First plug in the USB-Serial Port adaptor to one of your USB port. Wait for a couple of second, then run “dmesg”.

Is there a command that tells me the port the device is connected to directly? Only way to do this until now was to disconect and reconnect and using the command:

In the last line it can be seen that my device is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0.

I'm not quite certain what you're asking. You mention 'port' several times, but then in your example, you say the answer is /dev/ttyUSB0, which is a device dev path, not a port. So this answer is about finding the dev path for each device.

Below is a quick and dirty script which walks through devices in /sys looking for USB devices with a ID_SERIAL attribute. Typically only real USB devices will have this attribute, and so we can filter with it. If we don't, you'll see a lot of things in the list that aren't physical devices.

On my system, this results in the following:

Explanation:

Devices which show up in /dev have a dev file in their /sys directory. So we search for directories matching this criteria.

Youda survivor 2 free download full version. We want the directory path, so we strip off /dev.

This gives us the path in /dev that corresponds to this /sys device.

This filters out things which aren't actual devices. Otherwise you'll get things like USB controllers & hubs.

The udevadm info -q property --export command lists all the device properties in a format that can be parsed by the shell into variables. So we simply call eval on this. This is also the reason why we wrap the code in the parenthesis, so that we use a subshell, and the variables get wiped on each loop.

More filtering of things that aren't actual devices.

I hope you know what this line does :-)

You can use this command to explore your device if connected to usb0:

Perhaps you would like to know just the path to USB-serial adapter that connected last?

Assuming that you know what the device you plugged in is, in 14.04 Ubuntu, at least, there is the command usb-devices that you can look through and find the information:

And the first line lists bus and port, as well as the device number that lsusb gives.
