Thanks Chris and others,
Indeed I need to use an external USB GPS and some other USB sensors.
All communicate via serial ports.
I gave the dmesg output txt as it is on other linux/MeeGo devices to
show that I am not talking rocket science (simply plug in and use
ttyUSB0 for (qt)serial communication).
Never heard about OTG, and never had to use it for my app.
Don't know why is there a difference between Sailfisch and MeeGo.
My questions are now:
Can I enable power on the USB port? (escape would be a battery powered
USB hub)
Will Sailfish automatically set a up a /dev/ttyUSBsomething when the
device (like an external GPS) is plugged in?
I will rephrase my question about adding the Qtserialport as a more
general question on howto add Qt modules (also in the final package).
Thanks.

Hi Philippe
From this and other threads going back to the very early days of this
mailing list it is very clear that Wim wants to connect an external
GPS unit to his Jolla via cable (usb / serial) for use in the cockpit
of a glider.

Hi,
As this is getting very confused and we are mixing connecting devices
to the Jolla and connecting the Jolla to the pc.
So which one is it?

Thank you guys.
Indeed devel-su works.
I have attached the devices, but the first problem is that the
connection does not supply power (the devices stay dead).
So you connected some device to your Jolla?
As far as I know, a usb connection should always have power, but it
is a
bit beyond my kowledge. Do I need another plug?
This is not true. All depends on context, what you plug into what etc...
In general if you plug in a device into a USB host (like your average
USB port on your pc/laptop) you should be able to expect power from it.
In the case of a phone this is usually a USB device, so it expects
power.
And in the OTG case it gets complicated. Here the device is able to
switch between host and device mode. And will supply power if it is
playing host.
On other linux/MeeGo systems there was always power...
and dmesg would give:

Use Qserialport on ttyUSB0 and ready you are.
This looks like plugging in a serial device into a PC. Do you want
your Jolla to expose a serial port? That is definitely possible and
easy.
Do you want your Jolla to read data from some serial port with a
serial to USB adapter then you're getting in a very complicated world.
Unless you can explain what you actually want there is little we can
do to help.
Regards,
Philippe
