I received my EconoTAG r3 in the mail! I had it come pre-configured with the firmware.
I followed the instructions on the MC1322x page, but there was something I was wondering. The guide keeps mentioning that there are two UARTs, which I also notice in dmesg when plugging in the device: [ 1330.662176] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 [ 1331.128560] ftdi_sio 1-1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected [ 1331.128641] usb 1-1: Detected FT2232H [ 1331.128659] usb 1-1: Number of endpoints 2 [ 1331.128676] usb 1-1: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 512 [ 1331.128693] usb 1-1: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 512 [ 1331.128709] usb 1-1: Setting MaxPacketSize 512 [ 1331.132098] usb 1-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 1331.135432] ftdi_sio 1-1:1.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected [ 1331.135502] usb 1-1: Detected FT2232H [ 1331.135520] usb 1-1: Number of endpoints 2 [ 1331.135537] usb 1-1: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 512 [ 1331.135554] usb 1-1: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 512 [ 1331.135570] usb 1-1: Setting MaxPacketSize 512 [ 1331.141882] usb 1-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB1 The guide says "you must make sure you are using the correct serial device." and that UART1 is usually the second serial device. So, is the second serial device the one I always want to use? It doesn't say that the second is always the "correct serial device" explicitly, so I just want to make sure I understand this.
