Title: 3.4.75+ pl2303 precompiled module
Post by: kostas on February 26, 2014, 07:06:36 PM
Hello everybody
I use A13 OLINUXINO +WIFI with the original OLIMEX image.
I need to add a couple of PL2303 USB-SERIAL cables but it seems that its driver is not included in this image.
I was wondering if i could find somewhere a precompiled module (3.4.75+).

Best Regards
Kostas

I'v the same problem

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port

dmesg
[   51.223004] usb 2-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 6 using sw-ehci

It's possible to add the pl2303 module?

Thank you

Yes, it is possible, but AFAIK the only way is to build custom kernel - in the menuconfig enable all the way to Device Drivers/USB support/USB Serial Converter support/USB Prolific 2303 Single Port Serial Driver (symbol CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_PL2303).
