I am reviving this thread, which dealt with an issue getting my ShipModul MiniPlex to work. We had managed to solve this, but that was using Navigatrix 0.5 (Sept 2013). However, I have been trying to set up Navigatrix 0.5 (August 2014), which seems to be based on a newer kernel. In doing so, my Shipmodul MiniPlex was once again broken. Applying fixes discussed earlier in the thread did not work this time. In fact, I was set further back than ever before, because /dev/ttyUSBx was never created. I traced this to the ftdi_sio driver not being loaded : lsmod | grep ftdi returned nothing. dmesg further instructed me that : Code: [ 406.535731] usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd [ 406.698006] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=fd49 [ 406.698011] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 406.698014] usb 2-1: Product: ShipModul MiniPlex-2USB [ 406.698016] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: CustomWare [ 406.698018] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 21000900 [...] [ 1007.725956] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial [ 1007.726445] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic [ 1007.726914] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for generic [ 1007.727991] ftdi_sio: unknown parameter 'vendor' ignored [ 1007.727993] ftdi_sio: unknown parameter 'product' ignored [ 1007.728549] usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio [ 1007.729043] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device Thanks to several pages, including http://www.leniwiec.org/en/2014/06/25/ubuntu-14-04lts-how-to-pass-id-vendor-and-id-product-to-ftdi_sio-driver/ which put me on the right track, I found a working solution. My installation process for the Shipmodul Miniplex has been fairly modified. I include it hereunder for others which might have the same issue : Create /etc/modprobe.d/usbserial.conf with content Code: insmod ftdi_sio Include the following content in /etc/rc.local content Code: modprobe ftdi_sio chmod 775 /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id sudo echo 0403 fd49 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id Note that here I had to include a chmod permission change, since for some reason I was getting a Permission denied error that others do not seem to get. Create /etc/udev/rules.d/98-gps.rules with content Code: SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="fd49", ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="miniplex", RUN+="/bin/stty -F /dev/miniplex 57600", RUN+="/lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug" GPSD can now find the Miniplex automatically, and alternatively you can use it with the unvarying name /dev/miniplex . |

Hi rein, in most cases, you will need to edit these files using "administrator" (or "root", or "super-user") rights, and not simple "user" rights. To do so, there are several possibilities, but one of them would be to simply execute this in terminal : Code: sudo medit /etc/modprobe.d/usbserial.conf You will be asked for the administrator password, and then you will be editing as administrator : "sudo" stands for "do as super-user". For most configuration files, you will have to edit them using "sudo". |
