The USB Serial cable I’m trying to use came from Amazon. According to their
description it uses the PL2303 chipset, so ...
Following Michael’s advice I added this line to sys/dev/usb/usbdevs where other
Prolific devices were defined:
product PROLIFIC PL2303Y 0x23c3 PL2303 Serial adapter (Null modem)
I regenerated the header files and added these lines to the device table in
sys/dev/usb/uplcom.c:
/* Prolific USB to serial null modem cable */
{ USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC, USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303Y },
Rebuilt the GENERIC kernel and copied to to / and rebooted my system. I get
this result:
[ 4.235870] uplcom0 at uhub1 port 1
[ 4.235870] uplcom0: Prolific Technology Inc. (0x67b) USB-Serial Controller
(0x23c3), rev 2.00/3.05, addr 1
[ 4.245877] uplcom0: autoconfiguration error: reset failed, NOMEM
Did I miss something that is leading to this error?
