Tachyon FTDI USB-serial support

Hello,

Are FTDI USB to serial devices supported? Attempting to connect to an FT232RL device but no ttyUSB devices are showing up in /dev

It shows as connected in lsusb but nothing in dmesg. ftdi_sio is not found with modprobe and apt install linux-modules-extra-5.4.219 doesn’t have it either.

Thanks

I wasn’t able to get the system to recognize it inherently, but if you’re using python you can use pyftdi and talk to it directly.
I got the vendor/product IDs like you did, and then I used
ftdi://[VID]:[PID]/1?baudrate=[baudrate] as the device URL, but I’m now realizing I could’ve just used ftdi://::/1?baudrate=[baudrate]too.
