I have now tested with 2 additional usb2serial adapters.
Targus with mct_u232.ko module and ATEN with pl2303.ko module.
mct-module is compiled extra and it look like working in DM800, /dev/ttyUSB0 is created.
ATEN creates the same device.
Bot adapter has LED -indicating trafic, but even connected the without anything at the serial connector, the LED is blinking=TX blink.

So everything sould be right, right?

Both adapter performs perfectly at linux PC machine. So the problem is in DM800.

Any ideas?

Hi

Is it possible to compile other than already included modules (pl2303.ko and ftdi_sio.ko).
We have tried cypress_m8 and mct_u232, but no success.

We get the modules compiled and installed, /dev/ttyUSB0 is created, but it is not working as it should.

Is there something else to do before this works. Or is Dreambox images somehow special not to allow additions...?

More Info

When connecting the adapter on linux machine, this works as it should, but the drive used is Cypress_m8.
So the question is now, is it possible to compile this driver to the DM800?
Not find the source yet, but should be availabel, from linux side, right?

Hi

This adapter should have pl2303 module supported, right?

With thw product code I could find this: "Alternative driver for USB to
Serial using Cypress CY7C63743 (Vendor ID: 0x04b4 and Product ID:
0x5500)".

But all I get in dmesg:

Do this need own driver or shuld the pl2303 work?

Hi

Why the utilization of the old reliable serial port is disabled?
Is there some hardware restrictions that you can only use RS232 as updating software?

It would be good to see the actual device implemented on the images, like /dev/ttyS0 style.

Now it seams to be impossible to use serial devices.
And I do know that there is USB2SERIAL things...

Box has the Serial Port, why not use that!
