Hi Sandra, The FTDI USB is a USB slave (hence the Type B port) which you can plug into to read console messages from the ROACH. It's labelled FTDI because (I assume) it connects internally to a chip made by FTDI which gives USB access to other stuff (JTAG, etc.) as well as the console.
The "PPC USB" us a USB host port for the ROACH's PowerPC CPU -- i.e., if you plugged a USB flash drive in there, you would be able to access it from the PowerPC. You're definitely plugged into the right port. As https://casper.ssl.berkeley.edu/wiki/Getting_Started_with_ROACH2 suggests, ttyUSB2 should be the right port, but if you have other devices plugged in as well this might be different. Do you still see nothing in minicom even when you reboot the board with minicom open?
