udev rules error on BBB

ramanc51
ramanc51 over 9 years ago

Hi all

             In my BBB i written udev rule 99-usb-serial.rules at /etc/udev/rules.d to fix my usb-serial converter ttyUSB0 name as static(e.g printer), but this rules not create symlink as i given below, alos i saw error that unable to open '/sys/udev/ttyUSB0', is there glue to resolve this error?

 

my 99-usb-serial.rules

 

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial", MODE="0666", ATTR{idVendor}=="0403", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", SYMLINK+="printer"

 

Error

parse_file: reading '/etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-serial.rules' as rules file

udev_rules_new: rules use 197880 bytes tokens (16490 * 12 bytes), 32369 bytes buffer

udev_rules_new: temporary index used 60680 bytes (3034 * 20 bytes)

unable to open device '/sys/dev/ttyUSB0'

debian@beaglebone:~$

 

Note:

        But i am able to open this device as /dev/ttyUSB0 only by my another java application on same BBB, but not as a printer

    Do you get the error running udevadm test /dev/ttyUSB0 ? Try udevadm test /sys/dev/char/188:0 Are you sure SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial" Usually they are "tty" You can also check /var/log/syslog for errors…

    Now i am able to open port using symlink name on my java app by using following line

     

           System.setProperty("gnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts", "/dev/printer");

     

    But according to rxtx lib source, it will omit other device if we user system property method, so that i can't use more than one device using it's symlink name,

    is there any way to load more than one symlinked devices?

     

    Reference

    Trouble shooting - Rxtx

    If you wish, you can set the system properties gnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts and gnu.io.rxtx.ParallelPorts. If either of these is set, then no scanning will be carried out and only the specified ports will be available

    Thanks Brain, i solved it by adding symlink names with column separated as follows 

     

       System.setProperty("gnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts", "/dev/Printer:/dev/Display");

             

    but i think we can solve it as follows also by script

     

    java -Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/printer:/dev/dispaly

    Great,  Yes and I have just found this too in the FAQ - Rxtx

     

    You can specify the available ports by

     System.setProperty("gnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts", portFileNames); 

    where the file names of the ports are separated by File.pathSeparator.
