can open putty serial with prolific usb to serial comm port

No, not necessarily I do have USB to DB9, but also same device but USB to RS232 TTL Converter 4 Pin for the RPi's and other devices (eg gps). I'm thinking it could be the lack of ttyUSB0 and/or the pl2303.ko is not loaded (I checked w/ lsmod).Īre there any other things I can try given the additional info here?Hi I did try putty and could not get it configure the port, using various ttySx. I hoped if I could load that driver I could make some progress. There is a pl2303.ko on my system but I cannot load it with insmod or probemod.

On an older computer I no longer have and using a different distro, I successfully used cu /dev/ttyUSB0 so I don't know why that is not in my version of Leap.įurthermore, the notes I have from manuf is that it may need a Prolific pl2303gc driver. Sorry I failed to use the correct terminology for my needs. The solution Malcolm mentioned, a usb serial adapter, is usb->db9. To amplify my phrase 'serial console port' what I need is to connect via usb to a router which uses a usb mini-b port. OP here with more questions on this topic.

I did find something online about MAKEDEV but I don't want to go blindly messing around without more info. I'll do this after posting on the off chance that the kernel will recognize it. One thing I have done is boot computer w/ cable attached.
