[Buildroot] can not open ttyUSB0

[Buildroot] can not open ttyUSB0

[Adeel Nafis]

Dear All,
I have a kit2416 (http://www.armdesigner.com/KIT2416.html) module with 
Samsung ARM926EJS*. *I have configured buildroot with static device 
table, and added the ttyUSB0,1,2,3 to with major 188 and minor 0,1,2,3 
to the file.
I also added the line to /etc/fstab

none    /dev/bus/usb    usbfs    defaults,devmode=0666    0    0

After attaching a 3G Modem USB  I am able to successfully use 
'usb_modeswitch" and get the device to switch with messages indicating 
that the device is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0,1,2. However, after this I 
can not open the /dev/ttyUSBx any more. If i use gnokii for arm it 
prints out some messages indicating that it failed to open the port.

Gnokii output
GNOKII Version 0.6.26
Gnokii serial_open: open: No such device        <----- the port here is 
set to /dev/ttyUSB0
Couldn't open ATBUS device: No such device
Telephone interface init failed: Command failed.
Quitting.
Cannot unlock device.
Command failed.

I have tested the thing out with Ubuntu for arm on the same platform and 
can verify that it works.

If I do `cat /dev/bus/usb/devices` output is
# cat /dev/bus/usb/devices

Before trying to access the device through /dev, make sure that your
kernel has actually detected this device, and that a driver has been
bound to it:

 *) Check your dmesg to see if there is something related to your 3G
 modem and the creation of ttyUSB0

 *) Check /sys/class/tty/ and check if there is a ttyUSB0 symlink.
 Until there is no ttyUSB0 symlink, it means that the kernel hasn't
 detected the device, or that a driver is missing for it.

 *) Once you have /sys/class/tty/, do a cat /dev/class/tty/ttyUSB0/dev
 and check that the major/minor that you see here match the ones you
 have used in the static device table (but it seems like 188:0 is
 correct for ttyUSB0, so your problem is most likely due to the fact
 that the kernel has not detected the device at all).

Best regards,

Thomas

If I remember correctly those Huawei modems (I had one once) detect
allright at the boot but then they switch to usb storage because all(?)
3G modems have some memory reserved
to work as regular USB stick (all "CD-ROM" in windows).

So it might be that your modem detected ok at boot but then immediately
switched to that storage mode and you have to switch it back by playing
with usb_modeswitch
command parameters.

There is a meniton of that in "Troubleshooting, Kernel related issues"
in usb_modeswitch makers pages:

Thanks,
the listing from dmesg does indicate the first detection and not the 
subsequent mode switching or connection to the ttyUSB0 of the modem

there is no symlink for /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0, so I guess this 
indicates that there is a missing driver, but which one? I have also 
tried doing the following

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1446

but it makes no difference.

Huawei modems usually require the "option" module in the kernel
(CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION). Do you have it enabled and loaded?
