PPP over ttyUSB device - linux

i have up ruining machine with Slackware 14.02 kernel 4.4.131
i want to compile my own kernel in to the machine, how ever i don't have the kernel .config file, so i'm using generic one from the Slackware website.
after the kernel boot i'm stack on the pppd proces that the device is runing, with the error massage:
/usr/sbin/pppd: unrecognized option 'ttyUSB2'
pppd version 2.4.7
what seem that the pppd cannot open terminal over the ttyUSB2 connection. and that why i don't have keyboard. however at the builtin kernel the pppd is establishing connect and things working well
i tried to enable all the cnonfig of the ppp at the .config file
CONFIG_PPP=y
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=y
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=y
CONFIG_PPP_FILTER=y
CONFIG_PPP_MPPE=m
CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK=y
CONFIG_PPPOATM=m
CONFIG_PPPOE=y
CONFIG_PPTP=m
CONFIG_PPPOL2TP=m
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=y
Thanks

In kgdb, I cannot set the breakpoint

I'm using kgdb to debug the kernel.
I'm using qemu 2.11.0, and ubuntu 16.04.3 server version for guest.
I installed the kernel 4.16.0-rc6(mainline) and boot the guest os with this kernel with kgdb options(kgdbwait kgdboc=ttyS0,115200).
The gdb can connect to guest successfully.
However, setting a break point is fail with below error message.
Cannot access memory at address 0xffffffff8124b170
Actually, I used to debug the kernel with kgdb, and version of kernel is 4.8 below.
The kernel is in raw format virtual disk.
I compiled and installed this kernel in guest by mounting raw format virtual disk to guest, and open the vmlinux file with gdb by mounting raw format virtual disk to host.
Is there any fault?
I solved this problem.
It was because of KASLR.
This is solution.

load routerOS Drivers from USB drive in linux

I'm trying to install routerOS(Mikrotik) from bootable USB drive on my PC.
it boots from USB at first and loads the Linux Kernel.
after detecting the H.D.D it requests me to insert the CD-ROM disk to installing the DRIVERS.
but the drivers are in the USB flash.
i opened the syslinux.cfg and isolinux.cfg files:
default system
label system
kernel linux
append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.rgz root=/dev/ram0
i'm thinking that the problem is here. it requests to load from CD-ROM.
how can i tell it to load the drivers from USB Flash?
** i've not worked with Linux.
In RouterOS you have 2 method of X86 installs.
CD-ROM ( not USB )
NetInstall
If your BIOS supports net boot and you have a Windows to run NetInstall, try with Mikoritk NetInstall

Linux boot with usb 3G modem enabled as ttyACM0 device

im running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (desktop), on an embedded device (Odroid U3) and
on boot, my 3G usb modem is seen as a ttyACM0 / ttyACM1 device, which is correct.
Post boot i am able to simply run wvdial..and from there I can get a connection...
I am running my system headless, and would ideally like to get the OS "converted" to more
of a server configuration(smaller) if possible. I have tried running the
the ubuntu server version here viewtopic.php?f=77&t=5123, along with
multiple versions of debian(7 / 7.4) but neither will detect the usb modem correctly on boot.
I am a newbie to linux, and the only thing that I have tried is
trying to force load some of the kernel modules on boot ( /etc/modules ) to try to
alter the detection of the device on boot. (cdc_acm, usbserial, ppp....etc), no luck.
On the ubuntu server version above I even updated the kernel to
version newer than the one currently on the working desktop version, still no luck,
Does anyone have experience with usb 3G modem detection on boot??,
Any ideas why it works on the 14.04.1 LTS desktop version , and not any others?,
thanks a ton...for any suggestions
Appears that there is a patch in 14.04 ubuntu boot that fixes the usb_modeswitch issues. After taking a raw ubuntu , adding usb_modeswitch , its now working just fine.
Did not even have to configure usb_modeswitch.

Can`t find ttyUSB[id]

I have just started with my Raspberry Pi and I have a project where I want to read data from the USB port. I have installed Java JDK8 and written the program that compiles and run. But I get the message that /dev/ttyUSB1 does not exist.
I just have a cable from the USB port on the Arduino going to the USB port on the RPi and I am using Raspbian Debian Wheezy
When I go to DIR /dev/ and use $ ls, I can only find tty0 up to tty63. I have searched on the internet and some say that you can use ttyAMA0, but this does not work. I have also searched for the same problem, but have not found a answer to my problem.
I have used $ lsusb which gave me 4 devices (001-004) on Bus 001. I can see that, for example, my USB keyboard is listed as Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1532:010b Razer USA, Ltd.
and if I run $ dmesg | grep Manufacturer I get that:
[xxxxxxxxx] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Razer
So my question is why does my usb devices not get listed as ttyUSB[id]? Do I have to manually attach it?
I am a bit noob when it comes to Linux.
Hope someone can help me!
I have some bad news for you. The reason you have no /dev/ttyUSB[n] devices on the RPi (when you connect your Arduino) is because you need the Arduino drivers (FTDI drivers in particular). The unfortunate thing is that these drivers don't yet exist for the Arm platform (which includes the RPi). This is according to the FTDI web page showing support. Note the lack of Linux driver support for Arm.
Apparently on Arm running Linux the only way to program the Arduino is via the serial port interface directly via the GPIO pins. Information on doing this can be found here . You will also have to do something similar on the Arduino side see this information.
Once you have the two devices connected via straight serial then your going to probably run into another SNAFU. By default apparently on the RPi Linux will use the serial port for sending debug/console output. In order to use the serial interface for something that behavior has to be modified. This article discusses that. In particular disabling the kernel from using the serial port for terminal use this would seem to apply:
The following steps (based on a clean 2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian install
Open a terminal on the Raspberry, or connect to Raspberry Pi through SSH.
Make a backup of the /boot/cmdline.txt file.
sudo cp /boot/cmdline.txt /boot/cmdline_backup.txt
Edit /boot/cmdline.txt file:
sudo vi /boot/cmdline.txt
This file contains:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 $
Remove the parameters that reference the UART serial port (ttyAMA0):
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 $
Comment next line in /etc/inittab:
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100
Reboot Raspberry Pi
sudo reboot
If you use a different Linux distro than Debian it would be different but the basics would still apply (modifying the kernel command line)

use GPIO sysfs in Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.14.1

I am trying to get a viperboard USB GPIO board running on ubuntu.
I already got a newer kernel, because I understood that the 3.13 kernel doesn't support the viperboard so well.
What I want to do is to use the /sys/class/gpio sysfs interface for GPIO so I can develop raspberry pi projects on my PC and then use them
on my RPi.
My Problem - the /sys/class/gpio directory is missing.
The config of the kernel shows:
CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS is not set
Does this mean I have to compile a new kernel?
I just had to recompile the kernel with CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS set; now I see the /sys/class/gpio directory. Ubuntu does not enable gpio sysfs by default.
I solved my Ubuntu-GPIO problems with the pigpio library.
It runs a daemon started with sudo, which is controlling the GPIO pins. A client program (started without sudo) communicates with the deamon and thus indirectly controls the pins.
You can even run the client on a remote machine. This way a ROS node can control the GPIO pins of a remote raspberry, which itself isn't even running ROS.
See this and this post for reference.
