Ubuntu - Serial Communication

Hello, these days I'm using Jetson TK1, which runs ubuntu 14.04 with armv7l. Obviously, I tried to connect propeller chips. So, I tried to install simple ide for raspberry pi. But it didn't run due to Qt version collision. I found an old post that stopped at the same issue I just have.

But what I need is just for the OS to recognize FTDI and attach it to ttyUSB#. What would I need to install to attach it on Ubuntu? Does propeller use different FTDI from Arduino, which works well? I also tried this but none of FTDI related to Arduino doesn't seem to be working. Finally, the most confusing thing is http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm looks not having the moudle for arm. Please let me know if I'm missing something....

  • I thought the ftdi driver was usually shipped with Ubuntu out of the box. Did you add yourself to the dialout group?
  • Yes. When I type

    dmesg | grep FTDI

    it just reports "manufacturer: FTDI" rather than "FTDI attatched to ttyUSB'
