Openwrt write to USB serial /dev/ttyACMO - linux

I have an STM32 connected over USB to and OpenWRT Linux device and it appears under /dev/ttyACM0. I have a custom C application that communicates with it. In my C application the device basically is treated like a serial port.
Until now this always worked 100%, I could always read and write, I built a new image for my LIMA module and now suddenly I can no longer write to my STM32 from my C application.
However this works fine and the message is received by the STM: echo -n -e "\x02\x00\x01\x02" > /dev/ttyACM0
When I look in dmesg I do see something funny:
[ 389.334398] usb 1-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-platform
[ 389.458391] cdc_acm 1-1.3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[ 424.476642] cdc_acm 1-1.3:1.0: failed to set dtr/rts
Do you guys know what might be after going wrong? Could some USB package that updated itself have screwed something up?

USB<>serial communication not working on linux

I'm currently working on a project in which I have to communicate with a custom-made sonar board over an USB<>Serial connection with cts/rts hardware flow control at a baud rate of 4,499,456.
MATLAB code for sending and receiving data is already available and fully tested on Windows.
The problem occurs when trying to execute the MATLAB code on linux (Ubuntu 14.10/15.04). Both the commands for toggling the LED on the board (write) as well as receiving information (read) are not working.
Python ports of the MATLAB code using the pyserial and pylibftdi library do allow writing, but also hang on receiving data.
Does anyone have any idea as to why it does work on Windows but not Ubuntu? Maybe a driver issue? Or something having to do with cts/rts on Linux?

Edit: Just logging my progress in case somebody encounters the same issue. The problem seems to lie in the baudrate; changing it to 115200 allows reading from the device, but messes up sending data to it.
Apparently the FTDI driver doesn't work to well with very high/non-standard baudrates. I ended up solving this by using a baudrate of 3,000,000

Arduino Micro using AVRDUDE and Makefile but Upload Stuck on Loop

I am using http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk to upload code to my arduino products in Ubuntu without using the IDE.
That being said, I have confirmed the makefile and avrdude works well with my Arduino Uno, so that is fine.
However, I needed it to work with the Arduino Micro. So before setting up the .hex files, etc, I inputted:
export BOARD = micro
Which would allow me to get the formatting for the micro, as described by the makefile. When I tried to upload it, I get an interesting situation:
nancy#nancy-VirtualBox:~/Desktop/Arduino/sketchbook$ make upload
stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 speed 1200
57600
sleep 1
/usr/bin/avrdude -DV -p atmega32u4 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -c avr109 -b 57600 -U flash:w:blink.hex:i
At that point it stays on that line for however long and doesn't really do anything. The Arduino itself has the LED 13 continuously blinking but the Rx is not lit up whatsoever. To double check, I checked the dmesg:
usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 32 using ohci-pci
usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=8037
usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-2: Product: Arduino Micro
usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Arduino LLC
cdc_acm 1-2:1.0: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem.
cdc_acm 1-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

So I at least know it's the right port (Also double checked using ls -l /dev/serial/by-id ). Just in case, I double checked with normal windows, and Windows notifies me the driver is not installed properly. In the Arduino software, when I try to upload the generic blink code to the micro, it does the same thing where it too gets stuck in the Upload...
I updated the driver for the micro and the Arduino software uploads to the Arduino Micro just fine. Just in case I thought it was the actual hardware since I borrowed it from a friend, I tested the issue on a new Arduino Micro and the issue is replicated just in the Linux interface. I'm pretty sure it's not the VirtualBox linux either because the Arduino Uno worked just fine uploading to it.
Does anyone know how I may resolve my uploading issue? I'm thinking it's some sort of driver issue.
Thanks.
edit: tried the arduino Mega (export BOARD = mega2560)
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
So I'm thinking it's a driver and the makefile issue...
That's possibly not the answer you're waiting for, but it seems that the makefile you are using is getting quite old.
I would recommend that you switch the Sudar's Arduino Makefile which is just amazing.
Hope this helps :)
Programming the Mega Board I use the following command, which works fine for me:
avrdude -patmega2560 -cwiring -P/dev/ttyACM0 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:blink.hex:i

Linux and Primesense

I have for a longer time tried to get my Asus Pro Live sensor to work on Linux, currently Fedora, but I have tried ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.10 as well. I have installed openni, openni2 and sensor_master on my computer. Everything compiles, but when I try to run NiViewer, all I get is
Could not open "1d27/0600#3/4": Failed to set USB interface!
The 55-primesense-usb.rules file is present in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and when I type lsusb it says:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 1d27:0600 ASUS
I have googled for it but cannot find anything helpful. Does anyone have a clue where the problem is?
Some of the output from dmesg:

I have tried both usb 2.0 and 3.0 and it works in windows.

The Asus Pro, like any other webcam, needs to reserve USB bandwidth, and this should be adaptive depending on the actual capture resolution and bandwidth, but that is not always the case: many WebCams, like Logitech C910 "preventively" reserve a chunk of USB capacity large enough to prevent other webcams from using it. The UVC driver, which is pervasively used in Linux knows about this under the feared I get a "No space left on device" (-28) error when trying to stream from more than one camera simultaneously., see UVC driver FAQ. This seems to be your issue. Trying to connect the cameras in your system in different USB port configurations can help.

Smart card reader detection on Linux

I have a smart card reader called SK-284. It support two communication methods, RS232 and USB.
In my case only USB is enable. When I connect this device to my Linux laptop, via USB, It wont get detected. I run '$dmesg' command to check on which ttyUSB port it get detected, I got following output,

My laptop specification:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Kernel: 3.2.0-54-generic-pae
When I connect same device to Windows 7 and run device manager, It got detected under Human Interface Device (HID). and some test applications are running fine.
My task is to write a small code on Linux to detect the smart card by device.
So where do I get to know on which ttyUSB port is used by this device, or any other method to get connected to this device.
Thanks in advance.
You may try to change some parameter in usbcore module:
echo y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first
and then replug you usb-device.
As it is full-speed device (not hi-speed) you may also do such thing:
rmmod ehci-hcd
insmod uhci-hcd
insmod ohci-hcd
It seems like there is problem in usb communication. Probably on the usb-device side, because usb-host expects 9 bytes but usb-device sends 0 bytes.

USB host and device functionality on SBC 6845 board using kernel modules

I am working on SBC 6845(Atmel processor) in linux embedded development. My kernel version is 2.6.30.
This board comes with 2 USB ports(Both with Type A), one can be configured as host and other as USB device.
I have configured these USB modules in kernel. I have burned kernel and file system with necessary modules including USB modules. I have loaded these USB modules through /init.d/rcS file.
When board turns on and I type lsmod on console it shows me these modules loaded.
When I connect board to computer, USB is not detected (device functionality).
When I connect pendrive to board, it is not detected (host functionality).

Any help is welcome!
Your drivers seem well installed. I don't have a straight answer but I work with software-hardware integration very often. Here is what I would do to get more clues. That kind of processor often have pins that are multipurposes. Sometimes, on an evaluation board, they are not configured the way we want by default. You can look at the documentation but also, you can use an Oscilloscope and probe the D+ and D- of the USB. Are they OK when in IDLE? What happen when you connect a device on your host port? The first few things will be done by the USB controller and involves little even no interaction with the software after the controller is configured. If you see the beginning of a negociation (a bunch of 0s and 1s) then, you know your hardware is configured properly and your basic driver is installed and work properly. The result of this will narrow the scope of the problem.
You are missing upper layer drivers. EHCI is only an interface driver, you need device drivers on top of it. Board<-->PC communication is usually done via serial over USB, so for this you need USB Serial driver. In Kernel config go to Device Drivers -> USB Support -> USB Serial Converter support and select driver according to the chip on your board/cable.
Here's an example dmesg dump seen when board is connected to the Ubuntu laptop:
[ 3469.923779] usb 2-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 5 using
ehci_hcd
[ 3470.019145] cp210x 2-1.2:1.0: cp210x converter detected
[ 3470.091614] usb 2-1.2: reset full-speed USB device number 5 using
ehci_hcd
[ 3470.184995] usb 2-1.2: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
I believe similar situation is with pendrive too - upper layer driver is missing.
