USB serial devices not recognized
« on: March 03, 2020, 05:42:19 AM »
I want to use a Raspberry Pi Zero as serial terminal for my small SBC's, all serial from 1200 to 115200 baud, hard or software control, uploads/download via various protocols X/?Zmodem., Kermit  etc. Also delays after character send and newline sent. VTXX emulation etc. USB serial interfaces to be used, with hardware control. Like PL2320, FTDI 232R etc, very common.

Minicom is the perfect solution for this, it has all this.

Now this works fine in Raspbian, but the boot time is annoying long.

So I thought Picore might speed up things.

Testing now with version 9 on a Pi 2 with nework to configure, can get minicom working on Picore.

But USB serial adapters, nothing. Can see them in lsusb, udev shows inserting and removing, but no TTYUSBx devices appear dynamically or after reboot. Whatever apps i load (FTDI, USB serial), nothing.

Does some one have a recipe?
