USB device access problem

[Sergio_apf]

Dears,

I am trying to get access to a USB device trough /dev/ttyusb* or /dev/usb, but I wasn't able to do that. I need to find and map this USB device to a physical path like /dev/tty* paths. The software I use to control this device search for usb and serial ports to get access through and facing some difficulties to solve this problem.

Below I Put some outputs to help understand the problem I got here:

$> lsusb

Any help will be great!

Thanks,

Try find udev rule for hiddev0 and set GROUP to 666, or place command

Code: Select all

/bin/chmod 666 /dev/hiddev0

in /etc/rc.local. If I right understood in what the problem is.

Searching for a solution I plugged and unplugged the USB device whatching /var/messages:

Sep 28 20:06:53 workstation mtp-probe: bus: 3, device: 6 was not an MTP device

I believe It is more complicated for me because I don know how to map this device to a USB or COM port.
