Ubuntu Karmic / Duemilanove / Unable to enumerate

[brummbaer456]

Hi folks, I just got an Arduino Duemilanove (Atmega328) in the mail, and am having a helluva time getting it to connect. TIA for your assistance.

Symptoms:
OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Kernel: Linux badger-bait 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
avr-gcc version: 4.3.3
already removed brltty, installed all recommended software.
ran modprobe to load ftdi_sio
Plug the board in to the PC (a laptop, have tried ALL USB ports...), and the TX/RX ports blink quick, then the LED next to the big L below 13 & GND cycles in a blinking pattern (4 quick, pause, 4 quick, pause)

for what it's worth the IDE seems to load fine, run without errors, except that the serial section is greyed out under tools menu....

Here's the best diagnostics i could collect, just ask if i left something out. I've been able to find some other posts by folks with a similar issue, but never what was done to resolve it  :-/

Running modprobe may be your problem, and adding the ftdi driver when the default kernel already has it.  It just works, the problems I've had with Ubuntu usually revolve around Java.  Just plugging an arduino into the USB port with raw Ubuntu (7.04 or later) should bring up the /dev/ttyUSB* serial port.

Was this issue ever resolved? I am having the same problem and have updated all the java packages mentioned on the Arduino Linux page along with everything else. Still the same problem greyed out serial port in the tools menu.

If your board (or better the serial port to which it is connected) does not show up in the IDE this is not a problem with the Arduino IDE code.

Try this:

• Open a console window
  
• ls -all /dev/ttyUSB*
  
• now plug your arduino in and do it again
  
• ls -all /dev/ttyUSB*
  

The listing should now display one more entry (or it was empty on first try and now shows an entry).

If this is not the case look at the output of 'dmesg'. If there is any trouble with your board there should be an error message on one of the last lines printed to the console.

After ls -all /dev/ttyUSB* with the arduino unplugged and plugged in:

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

Hi,

at the end of dmesg
[  421.520081] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
[  421.700045] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62
[  421.985043] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62

62 is a timeout caused by the board not answering to the USB host on your computer.

If you can rule out a bad cable, and you have tried this on a different port and/or USB-Hub I'd say the USB2Serial chip on the board is dead.

Hi, resurrecting a slightly old thread (sorry) but I have /exactly/ the same problem as the person above, on Ubuntu 10.04 (Karmic)

Things I have tried...
2 x Arduino Duemilanove (Atmega328)
3 x Different USB cables
7 x Different USB ports (2 Powered Hub, 1 extension cable, 4 directly into the back of the PC)
2 x Different computers (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx 64bit, Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook remix) I'll try and get hold of a Windows machine from somewhere and test with that, if I can.
Unplugging all the cables to the Arduino

In the case of both Arduinos, I was able to get off a single flash of the "Blink" example, after this they never mounted properly again (Maybe my PC is bricking Arduinos?)

Getting a successful connection (IE Not unable to enumerate) is very rare. On Arduino #1 I got a successful connection once after the blink upload, and when I tried to upload a modified version of blink (Lower delay time, yay) it failed, I had this in dmesg.
