I am working with a display that runs with a linux kernel. I am trying to connect a device using serial communication to my display through a USB port. To do this I am using a USB-serial converter.
When I am using the command lsusb I can see that my device is connected.
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0557:2008 ATEN International Co., Ltd UC-232A Serial Port
The problem is that when my USB-serial converter is plugged I can't find my /dev/ttyUSB0 path.
I tried the command : modprobe serialport vendor=0x0557 product=0x2008 but it seems that the serialport module is not available on my display according to the answer I am receiving :
modprobe: FATAL: Module serialport not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.135-
Does anyone knows an alternative to modprobe serialport to get my converter recognized as a serial device ?
nb : My USB-Serial converter is a pl2303 converter and I am working with a 4.19.135 linux kernel.
Thank you,
Emmanuel
