[Ftdi-usb-sio-devel] New FTDI driver for a FT232R module.

[Matt A. <thr...@ya...>]

Hello, I’ve recently been hired to work on a “custom”
driver for a USB-Serial device that we have here. The
device is using the TTL-232R USB – TTL Level Serial
converter with the FT232RQ chipset.

We’re using linux 2.6.16 for the development platform.
We’ve got our own VID and PID but I’m having problems
adapting the FTDI_SIO drivers found in the 2.6.16
kernel to work. When I plug in the new serial device
it seems like the USB subsystem gets the device and it
never gets moved up to the usb-serial or to even
further up the FTDI driver.

The last messages in /var/log/messages that I’m
getting are:

Feb  8 16:06:24 r88882-pos02 kernel: usb 6-1: new full
speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7

Feb  8 16:06:24 r88882-pos02 kernel: usb 6-1: new

Feb  8 16:06:24 r88882-pos02 kernel: usb 6-1:
Manufacturer: UTC

Feb  8 16:06:24 r88882-pos02 kernel: usb 6-1:
SerialNumber: 000001

Feb  8 16:06:24 r88882-pos02 kernel: usb 6-1:
configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I figure that it should mention something about
usb-serial or the ftdi_sio modules but nothing. I
checked to make sure they had been insmod’ed and the
drivers are loaded.
