Attach a USB to SERIAL / FTDI to get an extra serial port

Official Hardware Classic Yún

I've tried to attach an USB-TO Serial FTDI converter to my YUN.
I've installed kmod-usb-serial-ftdi / kmod-usb-serial.

Via dmesg I see that the OS recognises the adapter:

Mar 15 17:16:17 YUNHR kern.info kernel: [ 208.910000] usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-platform
Mar 15 17:16:17 YUNHR kern.info kernel: [ 209.040000] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=003b
Mar 15 17:16:17 YUNHR kern.info kernel: [ 209.040000] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=220
Mar 15 17:16:17 YUNHR kern.info kernel: [ 209.040000] usb 1-1.1: Product: Arduino USB-Serial
Mar 15 17:16:17 YUNHR kern.info kernel: [ 209.050000] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: Arduino (www.arduino.cc)
Mar 15 17:16:17 YUNHR kern.info kernel: [ 209.050000] usb 1-1.1: SerialNumber: 75237333536351213262

But I can't find the device in the /dev/ directory. I would expect something like ttyUSB0.

What can I do to get this working.

Thanks for your help!

Depening on your USB/Serial converter, you maybe have to install these as well:

kmod-usb-acm - 3.8.3-1
kmod-usb-core - 3.8.3-1
kmod-usb-serial - 3.8.3-1
kmod-usb-serial-pl2303 - 3.8.3-1

kind regards,

I just fixed this problem.

You need to install kmod-usb-serial-ftdi
