Message: 74620   

I am trying to get some USB-to-serial adapters working with a custom BF537 design (similar to the Stamp) running uClinux-dist-2008R1.5-RC3.  The isp1362-based USB interface works fine with USB flash drives, so I think the hardware is OK.  I have two USB-to-serial adapters:

    AirLink101 AC-USBS, which I believe uses a Prolific PL-2303 chip.

    SIIG US2308, which probably uses a FTDI chip (implied several places, but I haven't verified).

I have been trying to follow the HOST (not gadget) instructions from   docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=serial_over_usb&s[]=usb&s[]=serial&s[]=converter  Both the ACM and generic USB serial driver instructions start off with the commands:

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb/

cat /proc/bus//devices

I can't get either of those commands to work:

root:~> mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb/

mount: mounting none on /proc/bus/usb/ failed

root:~> cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

cat: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory

root:~> ls /proc/bus

root:~>

My USB configuration follows:

  <*> ISP1362 HCD support

  (65)  GPIO for Interrupt

  <*> USB Modem (CDC ACM) support

  <*> USB Mass Storage support

  <M> USB Serial Converter support

  [*]   USB Generic Serial Driver

  <M>   USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)

  <M>   USB Prolific 2303 Single Port Serial Driver

I have been building in my other drivers, but the help for the USB Generic Serial Driver suggested that the USB Serial Converter support should be complied as a module.  I don't know if having a mix is a problem or not.

If I don't have anything connected to the USB port on startup, the console output looks like this:

if you dont enable the USB filesystem, then mounting it will of course fail.  you have to enable it in your kernel configuration first.

Seems obvious now   Thanks.

I got the SIIG adapter working.  The AirLink adapter using the Prolific chip isn't working;  it causes the message " usb 1-2: can't set config #1, error -32” to be printed when it is plugged in.  That is OK;  I don't need both anyway.
