I have not been able to get the FTDI serial number with "lsusb -v"
This is how I get the serial #
udevadm info --attribute-walk -n /dev/ttyUSB0
it churns out alot of info, but look for
ATTRS{serial}=="XXXXXXXX"
X's replaced with serial number. On Thursday, February 28, 2019, 12:11:50 PM

(Rod Radford sent mail enlightening me with the "-v" option to lsusb that shows
per-chip serial numbers for some USB devices and this is why I thanked "guys"
instead of just John, as I didn't notice Rod had left out the list.)

Well I say I will move on from Ubuntu, but I still have it, albeit old. Yet
even this old Ubuntu version I have is more current than RedHat (Centos) 7 on
libraries. So I still use it. Time will tell if Debian can fully replace
Ubuntu. They do a good job of coordinating alot of software. However my hope is
Debian does too. Time will tell and I am not in a hurry. Mainly I use Debian
for embedded stuff and I have come to really like it.
Well Ubuntu is made out of Debian, just not the stable branch. So in my mind
it's already got the high ground. :-) But it gets back to the old saw: You can
have it fast, you can have it good, you can have it cheap, pick any two. The
stable branch is stable 'cause releases don't happen fast and the extra testing
is not cheap. This may be naive, but it seems Ubuntu shares an approach with
Microsoft (+/-): why bother with a lot of testing when your users will trip
over and report bugs for you? I can say with absolute certainty that this is
the attitude TI uses for their tool chain releases for Linux hosts as, on top
of a very casual (but commercially clear-eyed) stance they don't even bother to
test with up to date versions of Ubuntu! Now when I get hosed by a newly
discovered bug in their tools the first thing I do is try it out on a Windows
system to avoid wasting time. But to be fair I should repeat that I have never,
ever found a code generation error or linker error with the TI tools (and I use
the TI compilers as well as gcc). My moans are about host-specific stuff inside
Eclipse and some of their probes and other gadgets that have scandalous flaws
that don't directly affect the quality of a target system.
