I am currently communicating between my Beaglebone and a Maple board via a 
serial connection directly through a USB cable. This works well. (LeafLabs 
Maple is an Arduino-like board with an on-board USB connector)

Due to power requirements I want to relpace the direct USB connection with 
a power supplied USB hub but when connecting the Maple board this way I do 
no longer see the serial device listed.

I am new to Linux/Debian and am unsure what to do from here, and if it's 
even possible to perform serial communication through an USB hub.

Direct USB(Beaglebone)-to-USB(Maple) serial communication (works)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beaglebone terminal:

# uname -a
Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone47 #1 SMP Fri Apr 11 01:36:09 UTC 2014 armv7l 
GNU/Linux

# lsusb
*Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1eaf:0004*
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

# ls /dev/ttyA*
*/dev/ttyACM0*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serial communication through USB hub (missing serial device?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beaglebone terminal:

# lsusb
*Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0612 Genesys Logic, Inc.    *<- this only 
shows up when using a special hd-USB cable.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

# ls /dev/ttyA*
ls: cannot access /dev/ttyA*: No such file or directory

# ls /dev/ttyU*
ls: cannot access /dev/ttyU*: No such file or directory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Any advice from here is greatly appreciated.


thanks, Teis
