[OpenIndiana-discuss] Connecting Serial Modem to Illumos (ACM9

[Reginald Beardsley]

It should be /dev/cua?

Here is what I get with Hipster 17.10.  First is with a Triplite Keyscan connected.  Second is with it removed.  Not sure what the deal is with the cua0 and cua1 entries. But I seem to recall trying to get a PCI serial port card to work and giving up.

Be aware that very few USB to RS232 devices work with Solaris,  And in general it is a horrible can of worms even when they do.

My canonical test for a new admin at work was to mention "modem".  If the person flinched I knew they were experienced.  If they didn't they were clearly new at this.

rhb at Hipster:/dev$ ls -l /dev/cua*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          39 Dec 19 19:52 /dev/cua0 -> ../devices/pci at 0,0/isa at 1/asy at 1,3f8:a,cu
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          39 Dec 19 19:52 /dev/cua1 -> ../devices/pci at 0,0/isa at 1/asy at 1,2f8:b,cu

/dev/cua:

 Hello Dear OI Community
 
 I am trying to connect my Ultimaker to
 my OpenIndiana Server. It is a
 serial device accessed through a python
 software.
 
 When connecting the USB I can see it
 showing up in dmesg:
 Apr 29 11:34:36 node02 usba: [ID 349649
 kern.info] usba:        no
 driver found for interface 1 (nodename:
 'data') of Ultimaker BV

 Apr 29 11:34:36 node02 genunix: [ID

 /pci at 0,0/pci1043,84ca at 14/communications at 1/modem at 0
 Apr 29 11:34:36 node02 genunix: [ID
 408114 kern.info]
 /pci at 0,0/pci1043,84ca at 14/communications at 1/modem at 0 (usbsacm1)
 online
 
 But I do not know where that file would
 be under /dev. On linux it's
 somewhere under /dev/ttyUSB or
 /dev/ttyACM.
 
 I have a device under /dev/term that
 links to
 ../../devices/pci at 0,0/pci1043,84ca at 14/communications at 1/modem at 0:0 like
 usbsacm1 should. But that device seems
 not to be correct.
 
 Does anybody know where that device
 usbsacm1 would be under /dev? or do
 I need anything aditional to get access
 to that device?
 
 Thanks in advance for any advice and
 Greetings
 Till
