USB-to-serial adapter configuration
Hi all: How does one configure settings for USB-to-serial adapter in FreeBSD ? The one i have purchased is http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=CHEAP-SERIALcats=199catid=482%2C1303%2C199%2C461%2C106%2C1009%2C601 On the Gentoo box, 'lsusb' displays it as: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port i have to access a headless AMD64X2 box running FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE, from a FreeBSD 8.0 laptop. So far, i've used 'cu' and '/dev/cu0a', but thats because both the systems had a serial port interface. The key info i'm looking for is: . what is the driver to load . what is the device entry to look for . is 'cu' good enough or i need to install some other tool thanks Saifi. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

On the Gentoo box, 'lsusb' displays it as:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 067b:2303
Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Your adapter should be recognised by the uplcom driver. put
uplcom_load=YES in loader.conf or load manually. Check dmesg for the
device name.
Also, I think cu is good enough ;)

This is the error shown in 'dmesg' log
ugen0.2: Prolific Technology at usbus0
uplcom0: Prolific Technology PL2303 Serial (ATEN/IOGEAR UC232A), class
0/0, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 2 on usbus0 uplcom0: init failed!
device_attach: uplcom0 attach returned 6
uplcom0: Prolific Technology PL2303 Serial (ATEN/IOGEAR UC232A), class
0/0, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 2 on usbus0 uplcom0: init failed!
device_attach: uplcom0 attach returned 6
Scenarios:
1. kldstat -v | grep uplcom shows
303 uhub/uplcom
2. uplcom_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf
with a reboot
In both the scenarios, 'dmesg' shows the same error.
On re-attaching the device, the following error is shown.
Hi,
usb2_alloc_device:1574: set address 2 failed (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored)
usb2_alloc_device:1612: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed,
USB_ERR_STALLED! ugen0.2: at usbus0 (disconnected)
uhub_reattach_port:417: could not allocate new device!
Looks like the firmware crashed if it does not re-enumrate.
Any suggestions on how i can get uplcom drive to work ?
Try looking up the USB-ID line for your device and modify the uplcom flags
(TYPE_XXX) for your device so that it does not require init for example.
/* TrendNet TU-S9 */
{USB_UPL(USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC, USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303, 0x0400,
0x, TYPE_PL2303X)},
/* ST Lab USB-SERIAL-4 */
{USB_UPL(USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC, USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303, 0x0300,
0x03FF, TYPE_PL2303X)},
/* IOGEAR/ATEN UC-232A (also ST Lab USB-SERIAL-1) */
{USB_UPL(USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC, USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303, 0, 0x02FF,
TYPE_PL2303)},
Use:
usbconfig dump_device_desc
To get the version number for your chip (See 0, 0x02FF above) Make sure that
the TYPE flag is correct.
Also see: /sys/dev/usb/serial/uplcom.c
Then:
make -C /sys/modules/usb/uplcom clean all install
kldunload uplcom
kldload uplcom
--HPS
