Do I need to install FTDI Kernel Module for TX2 and Teensy 3.2 (Arduino)?

I am trying to let Jetson TX2 communicate with Teensy 3.2. However it could not detect Teensy as ttyACM* or ttyUSB*.

I attempted to build FTDI Kernel Module but it still does not detect the Teensy 3.2. (when I called dmesg. There is no ttyACM*

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

More information on what USB says about the device would help. What is the output of:

sudo lsusb -d 16c0:0483 -vvv

I see this:

bDeviceClass            2 Communications
...
bInterfaceClass         2 Communications
bInterfaceSubClass      2 Abstract (modem)
bInterfaceProtocol      1 AT-commands (v.25ter)

It looks like this is an old fashioned modem and not a serial UART (it isn’t that modems don’t have serial UARTs, it is a case of requiring other commands to set it up which probably go through a serial UART…a UART by itself has no knowledge of how bytes are arranged as they go through it).

Note this particular line:

bInterfaceSubClass      2 Abstract (modem)

…this suggests a custom driver other than a standardized class is required. Should that be available the “/dev/” device special file may not be named what you expect it to be unless there is a udev rule.

What does dmesg say about the device as it is plugged in and then unplugged? You can use “dmesg --follow” to watch.

When I was using Jetson TK1, Grinch Kernel solved the issue. However, I do not know what driver needed to be installed.

This is what happened when I unplug and plug the Teensy 3.2 on NVIDIA Jetson TX2

[ 7102.746486] usb 1-2.3: USB disconnect, device number 13

[ 7118.362488] usb 1-2.3: USB disconnect, device number 14

Looks like no driver claimed the device. The device is listed as “Teensyduino”. I did some googling and found:
[url]https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html[/url]

Unfortunately this particular site did not list a driver compatible with arm64/aarch64 (an incompatibile driver is listed for armhf…this is what 32-bit “ARM/Raspberry Pi” is). If they provide a source version of the driver somewhere, or are willing to provide an arm64/aarch64/ARMv8-A version, then this should work.

Thanks, linuxdev.

Your answer explained why the Teensy 3.2 worked on my Jetson TK1, but not TX2.

I probably end up compiling the driver from source. I found this one: cores/teensy3 at master · PaulStoffregen/cores · GitHub

I will report later if my attempt is correct or not.

@linuxdev:

I found the reason why. Kernel Module on NVIDA Jetson TX2 disabled driver USB_ACM, which caused the Teensy undetectable. I actually did not even install TeensyDuino. It is suitable when I port .ino file on Jetson TX2 directly.

Steps to resolve:

  1. Install Arduino for AARCH64:
sudo apt-get install arduino arduino-core
  1. Rebuild Custom Kernel Module for Jetson TX2. Following this tutorial (Build Kernel and Modules - NVIDIA Jetson TX2 - JetsonHacks) and stop before excecuting ./makeKernel.h.

Execute this command first

sudo sed -i 's/.*CONFIG_USB_ACM.*/CONFIG_USB_ACM=y/' /usr/src/kernel/kernel-4.4/.config
  1. Follow the rest of the tutorial. Reboot Jetson

Here is my result.

Hi friends,
I need to control 2 dynamixels, via a usb2ax controler…

working on a TX2.

Doesn’t work !

Could anyone help me, please ?!

Impatient to read you. Thanks friends

@datthnguyen:

I tested your kernel mod, dut don’t see any changes.
I’m lost. Please help, friends.
Vincent

If you can, try to plug the devices to a x86 machine to see which kernel module control that.

Then modify the ‘.config’ file in /usr/src/kernel/kernel-4.4 accordingly.

Your device might not use USB_ACM kernel module

Thanks for quick answer.

I know that the controller works : I changed my 2 AX12A IDS on win 10 and Dynamixel wizard.

I received it yesterday.

Ok for plugging usb2ax on win10…

I’m a bit newbie on kernel process. Perhaps could you spend a bit of time and tell me what to do on win, to recover USB2AX kernel version…

Thanks datthnguyen.

Well, after some researches on web, it seems that my TX2 doesn’t have the USB Modem (CDC ACM) support

how could i verify it presence on my system ?

This is a similar question, though from a TK1:
[url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/795194/jetson-tk1/unable-to-write-to-usb-serial-device/[/url]

On the running Jetson you can see the exact current config from “gunzip < /proc/config.gz”.

FYI, FTDI devices are almost always there by default. It might be you need the communications class USB driver, or you may need a udev rule to rename the tty. Monitor “dmesg --follow” while unplugging and plugging the device to get more info on what driver level is being supported.

thanks linuxdev,

I did a dmesg --follow.

when i plug usb2ax :

I tried a udev rule :
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/81-USB2AX_elpimous.rules

KERNEL==“ttyACM*”, ATTRS{idVendor}==“16d0”, ATTRS{idProduct}==“06a7” SYMLINK+=“usb2AX_elpimous” NAME=“ttyACM0”

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

doesn’t work !

i’m a bit disappointed !

Should the cdc_acm module appear here ?

Hello,
I see the problem.
The module isn’t loaded !!

Following jetsonhack kernel process (video steps), with kernel name “-elpimous-V0.1” when I reboot,
uname -r tells me : 4.4.15-tegra

I think that copyImage.sh doesn’t work on my system !!

I boot on SSD disk, so here is perhaps my problem…

Any help ?

The base kernel Image determines the response from “uname -r”. The CONFIG_LOCALVERSION used during the base kernel compile determines the suffix of “uname -r”, while the base kernel version provides the prefix. So “4.4.15” with CONFIG_LOCALVERSION of “-tegra” will give the “uname -r” you saw. This also implies modules will be searched for in:

/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
# I.E.:
/lib/modules/4.4.15-tegra/

If the modules were put in “/lib/modules/4.4.15-elpimous-V0.1/” they will not be found by that kernel. You’d want to compile against your existing “/proc/config.gz”, but with CONFIG_LOCALVERSION of “-tegra” if you are to use the existing kernel. To place modules in “/lib/modules/4.4.15-elpimous-V0.1/” you will need to rebuild the kernel itself and all modules. Check closely where that script copies to, and verify which CONFIG_LOCALVERSION you used during the module build.

In a case where a module has been added to the correct location you might want to update module config via “sudo depmod -a”.

Friends, Thanks for all your help (great forum)

I finally had success, and I share :

Add module on kernel:

Board : Jetson TX2
Boot : SSD
Howto : Build Kernel and Modules - NVIDIA Jetson TX2 - JetsonHacks

→ just after the command : ./copyImage.sh,

Image is finished, ready to read… But,
Image is on a wrong directory (on the SSD Disk !!!)
You must put it on the TX2 board 32Go disk !

backup image in board disk :
sudo cp /media/nvidia/xxxxxx/boot/Image/media/nvidia/xxxxxx/boot/Image_backup

sudo cp /boot/Image/media/nvidia/xxxxxx/boot/Image

sudo reboot

test :

$ uname -r
4.4.15-elpimous-V1.0

Feels good…

$ ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/ttyACM0

WORKS !!!

Enjoy

Vincent.
