Cannot open serial device /dev/ttyUSB0
I am getting this error message when I try to connect to my C155 phone and upload
hello_world.compalram.bin using this command:
./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c155
../../target/firmware/board/compal_e99/hello_world.compalram.bin
Even though device ttyUSB0 exists in my /dev/ directory, and I have set modprobe cp210x,
and chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0.
Here is an output from dmesg:
[ 105.110818] usb 6-3: USB disconnect, device number 2

Excerpts from George Andguladze's message of 2013-06-04 10:40:35 -0700:
Cannot open serial device /dev/ttyUSB0
I am getting this error message when I try to connect to my C155 phone and upload
hello_world.compalram.bin using this command:
./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c155
../../target/firmware/board/compal_e99/hello_world.compalram.bin
Even though device ttyUSB0 exists in my /dev/ directory, and I have set modprobe cp210x,
and chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0.
instead of setting 777 permissions on this device, you can simply add yourself to the
dialout group (it's the more proper way)
here the debian command (don't forget to log out and in again for this to take
effect)
sudo adduser $USER dialout
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 71 2013-06-04 20:40
/dev/ttyS7
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 72 2013-06-04 20:40 /dev/ttyS8
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 73 2013-06-04 20:40 /dev/ttyS9
crwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout 188, 0 2013-06-04 21:07 /dev/ttyUSB0
What is it that I am doing wrong?
does it work with root rights (using sudo)?

If you're using a recent version of Ubuntu/Debian, modem-manager opens
serial devices when connected and probes for a modem.
Also, on older versions of Ubuntu brltty might block the port.
To work around the modem-manager issue either uninstall it, or put a
udev blacklist rule in place (where you insert the VID/PID of your
adapter):

Hi Steve,
Thanks for help, but ModemManager doesn't seem to be an issue. Question: Does
"Cannot open serial device /dev/ttyUSB0" error mean that
it is unable to connect to my USB adapter or that there might not be a phone connected on
the other end of the adapter?

It means it can't open the char device ... basically the call to
open("/dev/ttyUSB0") failed somehow. nothing to do with the phone.

I can read/write baud rates to EEPROM of the device using cp210x-program. Basically I have
tried everything apart from reinstalling the OS (Ubuntu 10.04). What might be the issue?
(for more info refer to the older conversations)

Try to strace it.
strace osmocon ....

Hi Sylvain, thanks for that, already getting somewhere. Here are last several lines from
strace output:
open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY) = 3

14:21:07.720986 write(2, "Cannot open serial device /dev/t"..., 39Cannot open

I got -1 at ioctl(3, TIOCMBIS, [TIOCM_DTR|TIOCM_RTS]) (Broken pipe). But it was actually
able to open "/dev/ttyUSB0" (returned 3). Have to find out what -1 means at this
point.

I had some problems with similar error message,they occurred when I wanted to restart
osmocom-apps after having removed phone with its usb cable
from pc and then reinserting phone and usb-cable. But when I just remove the phone from
the usb-cable and then reconnect phone to the cable the "Cannot open serial device
/dev/ttyUSB0" messages no longer occur and one can then rerun the osmocom-apps
without error messages.

Experiencing the same problem with "cannot open serial device". LSUSB list
group of USB devices, my T191 cable even has it's own name as UART ... when
connected (by the way other cable looks like thin USB-jack does not appear
in lsusb), but still every time getting "cannot open".
What is it that I am doing wrong?
