Hi-

On mangOH Rev8 with WP8548 mounted, I plugged in USB-serial device into USB host receptacle and got this from dmesg:  
[2164.701693] usb 1-1.3.2: new full-speed USB device number 8 using msm\_hsic\_host  
[2164.759560] ftdi\_sio 1-1.3.2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected  
[2164.772378] usb 1-1.3.2: Detected FT232RL  
[2164.775461] usb 1-1.3.2: Number of endpoints 2  
[2164.779795] usb 1-1.3.2: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 64  
[2164.785411] usb 1-1.3.2: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 64  
[2164.789714] usb 1-1.3.2: Setting MaxPacketSize 64  
[2164.802441] usb 1-1.3.2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB1  
and follow by lsusb:  
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC

However, I don’t have /dev/ttyUSB1 shown up. Instead, I just have /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1 shown up.

Question is, how to create that device nod as /dev/ttyUSB1?

thanks!

Hui

Hi awneil,

What I am asking is /dev/ttyUSB1. The /dev/ttyUSB0 is actually the USB interface between mangOH and host PC.

In addition, I have mentioned that I am using Revision 8 board that is supposed to have the problem fixed in your link.

thanks

Hui

Hi asyal

It is the latest. I followed the instruction of FAE to update the firmware in module a few weeks ago.

thanks!

Hi Hui,  
Can you redowload to make sure everything is done properly?  
I am wondering if something went wrong with your original process.

Hi sayal,

Here is what I have now:

And I followed the guide from  
[http://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/wpfirmwarerelease10/](http://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/wpfirmwarerelease10/)

Please let me know if the process I used is correct.

thanks!
