So @work we use serial->USB TTY MUX's to handle our serial console needs, and at some
sites we have a need that is greater than a single 16 port device (the max you can get).
The problem is that with two of these 16 port USB devices is that sometimes during a reboot
that the "second" device gets probed first and so the first 16 and second 16
/dev/ttyU* blocks swap around... which of course plays havoc with any symlinks we have to
the devices in rtty or conserver. :(
Is there any way to tell the USB code to always select a certain device first?
I assume this has been a issue with USB storage devices so this shouldn't be a
new issue. And I tried searching for a answer on the web to no avail.
Ideas?
Hi,
USB enumerates in sequential order, but sometimes devices might not be
ready to enumerate, and then a port is skipped.
Does the device have a serial number?
usbconfig -d X.Y dump_device_desc |grep iSerial
If yes, this can be filtered by a devd rule, when the device attaches,
and then you can switch the serial number to create any symbolic links.
