Generally create USB->RS232 driver

Where is the output of dmesg? There you can see the missing symbols when you try to insmod this modules.

I thought about something like this:

pl2303: Unknown symbol usb_serial_disconnect
pl2303: Unknown symbol usb_serial_probe
pl2303: Unknown symbol usb_serial_register
pl2303: Unknown symbol usb_serial_deregister

While trying to load this modules I recognized that "insmod /var/tmp/ti_usb_3410_5052.ko -v" is not correct.
It works for me this way:

/var/mod/root/serial # insmod pl2303.ko
/var/mod/root/serial # lsmod |grep pl2303
pl2303                 20240  0
usbserial              28320  1 pl2303
usbcore               113328  5 pl2303,usbserial,usb_storage,usbahcicore

[hrust_ray]

if new device "usbserial" appeared in lsmod, does it mean that module was successfully loaded?

 

[heini66]

this means only that the usbserial.ko module is loaded.
this is needed for the following device-special *.ko.
seem's that your adapter hasn't a general kernel support in 2.6.13.1
purchase another one like the ftdi or pl2303. they are working.

insmod usbserial.ko
insmod pl2303.ko
 lsmod

[RalfFriedl]

I have idea - if somebody uses Usb->Serial converter, maybe U can share your module file for me?
Maybe if I try several ones, some can work for me.

Well, this is a strange idea.
You already know that your USB converter is a ch341.
You already know that someone took the time to write a driver for it. That would have been unnecessary if one of the present drivers would support it.

As such it is unlikely that one of the other drivers would recognize your converter, and the (lack of) results so far show it.

You could try to use the driver that you found. It may or may not work with the older kernel on the FritzBox.
But it seems that you are not familiar enough with kernel modules to even try it.
Also, some of your questions seem to indicate that you may even not be familiar enough with Linux to use it, even if you had a driver to support it.

The easiest solution for you would be to find an USB converter that is supported by the current drivers.

 

[hrust_ray]

RalfFriedl, you are right - I'v never worked with linux before, never compiled something in linux and never installed modules for FritzBox.
Thats why my questions are so stupid
Also I understand that nobody write driver for me - thats why I try existing drivers.
I'l try to purchase converter, based on pl2303 chipset.
Is it correct one?http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...Track=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:de
Will it defenetely work with
insmod usbserial.ko
insmod pl2303.ko
?

 

[RalfFriedl]

I never used a USB to serial converter, neither on a FritzBox nor on PC Linux and also not on Windows.

But as far as I know, others had success with the pl2303 chip, and the converter from your link claims to have a pl2303 Chip, so it will probably work.

However, the problem remains that you also need an application for your box.
I suggest that you first try it on a normal PC Linux.
Many things are similar, but overall it will be easier than to develop a program for your box. After you have a working program on your PC Linux system, you can try to port it to your box.

 

[hrust_ray]

I made already some simple scripts for FB (debug.cfg), so I think this will be next step, after I'l be able to send some data to serial port.

 

[heini66]

i could only tell that this
http://cgi.ebay.de/USB-DATENKABEL-F...yZ111307QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
has a pl2303 inside the usb plug. cut the phone jack, bl = gnd, tx = bl ans ws = rx.

 

[hrust_ray]

Thats again me
I have now converter, based on pl2303 chip.
I can execute now "-insmod pl2303.ko", but only after command "insmod usbserial.ko".
finally that is my lsmod output:

I see there is device pl2303 in lsmod list.
But how can I find comport name to use in echo command?

 

[RalfFriedl]

I can execute now "-insmod pl2303.ko", but only after command "insmod usbserial.ko".

You could use "modload pl2303", if your modules are installed in the right place. modload also loads the dependant modules.
With insmod you must load all modules manually.

But how can I find comport name to use in echo command?

Try

mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
echo TEST > /dev/ttyUSB0

 

[hrust_ray]

Great!!!
I just found solution, return back to this thread to write it in - and see that U already gave answer! Thanx a lot.
One correction - /dev/... rise error - readonly mode.
If I use /var/ instead of /dev/ - all works and I can send data to my display!

I'm very happy with this solved problem
