Yes! It works (I think). Identifies itself as:
ucom0:  on uhub1
ucom0: CH340 detected

After this it can be accessed like any other usb-serial device. Found 
this note about it

http://err.no/personal/blog/tech/2008-07-22-10-17_kernel_patches_TEMPer_thermometer.html

To anyone wishig to have one, it can be found on brando or ebay as USB 
TEMPer or TEMPer2.

Re: USB->Serial adapter, how to make /dev/cuad* appear? [Solved]

2007-10-25 Thread Benjamin Lutz
I finally figured this out. Turns out the FreeBSD side of things worked 
from the start, and it was the hardware that was broken. A replacement 
adapter works like a charm.

Oh and yes, Oliver, you're perfectly right, /dev/cuaU0 is indeed created 
by ucom. I was confused by the device having the creation date of when 
the system was booted, even though it was dynamically created a couple 
of days later.

Thanks for all your help!

No, cuaU0 belongs to the ucom(4) driver.
It certainly does _not_ belong to the sio(4) driver.

Is ucom loaded as a module? If so, try unloading and re-loading it and uplcom.

I'm guessing based on its timestamp pointing to the last system boot,
when the USB adapter wasn't connected, based on the device persisting
when I unplug the USB adapter.

How do you know that cuaU0 belongs to the sio driver? It should belong
to ucom.

According to the manual, sio(4) devices only create ttyd and cuad devices.

No, that one's a standard serial port, driven by sio as well, and
creates /dev/cuad0, /dev/cuaU0, maybe some /dev/tty* as well, I don't know.

Yes, uplcom is the right driver. (Or at least I think so, because the
device and manufacturer ids that usbdevs -v gives me match those in
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/uplcom.c .) Besides, without the uplcom module
loaded, I only get an ugen device, so it seems to attach to the device ok.

Does the onboard serial port work via USB? How odd! On my standard PC,
the serial ports are driven by the sio driver, and have /dev/cuad* and
/dev/ttyd* devices, noc cuaU. 

Do you have the correct driver for the converter loaded next to ucom?
The ucom manual page gives a list of them.

A supported USB-to-serial converter will appear as a serial port. For example 
I use a Bafo BF-810 converter which is driven by uplcom(4), and in turn 
ucom(4) which presents /dev/cuaU0 and /dev/ttyU0.

Hi Guy's and Girls,
Thanks for the advice.  I tried umodem, bur the driver could not put the 
device into asinc and failed. Exit 6.

As I had little time left I had to reload that other OS.
It appears the device make in the USA is one of those that you can set the 
power level softly, not allowed by FCC, ACA...

The windriver would I presume know how to switch the device.

Of surprise is the device and simular are fairly commen in North America.
The particular laptop is used for the childrens schooling.

There is, I've used one.  While I can't gaurntee it will work, check out
the umodem driver.  Just load the driver with 'kldload umodem' and see
if it detects anything.  dmesg is a handy command for such things.
There are also some other possibilities, check out
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-i386.html
under USB.  The device probably will be something like /dev/ucom0, but
check the output of dmesg.

Any serial modem should work fine for FreeBSD using either the hardware
serial ports on your motherboard with the sio driver or possibly some
USB serial adapters that are supported.  USB modems are not winmodems,
but they still sometimes require a special driver that FreeBSD does not
have.

RE: USB-Serial ??

2006-06-08 Thread fbsd
Sorry dud but what you have is a winmodem.
XP has special driver for that external modem to work.
It is not supported in FreeBSD as far as I have seen.
There is no such thing as USB-serial modem.
External modem is connected to motherboard by serial cable or USB
cable.
Serial external modem works right out of the box and USB external
modem are all winmodems.
There is a port ltmdm which works for a limited number of PCI
winmodems but nothing for USB-winmodems.

You are SOL.

He said it was USB, which should be /dev/ucom0.

How do I get ppp to talk to it?

not exist yet.


Don't know about the rest, but in FBSD 6+, the serial devices are
/dev/cuad0 for COM1 and /dev/cuad1 for COM2.

Try a:

# cu -l /dev/cuad0 to see if you can connect to the device.


He said it was USB, which should be /dev/ucom0.

Well, for one, the manual for ucom(4) indicates that the device it

On a hardware notes ive read, that it needs a 'uplcom' driver, so i 
loaded it to kernel:
root# kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
51 0xc204c000 3000 uplcom.ko
61 0xc205 4000 ucom.ko


You need the drivers loaded _befor_ attaching the device.
Otherwise ugen take care of it and uplcom has no chance to take over.
Hi,
It helped. Thanks very much.
After compiling uplcom into the kernel, all looked ok. It showed me 
'ucom0' so i did `tip xxx', where xxx is:
%cat /etc/remote |grep xxx
xxx:dv=/dev/ucom0:br#9600:pa=none:

I see 'connected', but nothing more. Is there any other thing, which 
should I take care about?

Thanx,
Maciek
