Hi experts,
I am using Ubuntu. I have connected a serial port to usb port converter to my system. Now I want to access the device. I need to have the path to that device?
How can I find out?
What more information you need from me to find out the solution?
Thanks.
Hi Shabeeb,
There are core messages called “kernel” which is the first part of the operating system that is loaded into memory when a computer boots up. To write the core message or “kernel” in Linux and other Unix like operating system, users use the “dmesg command.
In order to find the USB path of your Ubuntu, please follow the following steps:
Go to the terminal
Run dmesg | grep usb
If you want to access the serial converter, please do the following steps:
1. Go to the terminal
2. Log in as root
3. Type cd/dev/ttyUSB0 or cd/dev/ttyUSB1
I hope this answers your question.
Sincerely,
Kirstyn Philips
