[chirp_devel] Improving Chirp LiveCD
Team,
This isn't specifically a Chirp dev question, but you will be my best source of information.
I am updating the Chirp LiveCD and would like the cable detection to be a lot more robust. To make this happen, I need info on how Linux detects the chipsets. If you would please, in Linux, plug your programming cable in, open a terminal window and run:
dmesg | grep tty
Find the line for your cable and post it along with the type of cable.
This is the output for a Prolific PL2303 based cable: [ 180.547070] usb 2-1.3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
And this one is for a Silicon Labs CP210x cable: [ 1655.773564] usb 3-1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Those are the only two cables I have info for, so any other cables would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Bob
I submitted all of the RTSystems cables identifiers to the kernel some time ago. Any recent kernel should already have these correctly.

Bob,
Here are the 3 different chip types in my USB-to-serial cable inventory.
Future Technology Devices International [ 521.640253] usb 6-5: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Prolific Technology [ 117.232417] usb 6-5: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Silicon Laboratories [ 855.444230] usb 6-5: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0

This is my one-size-fits-all cable made from a (genuine) Nokia CA-42 cable:
usb 3-2: ark3116 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
