Gemini PDA - Linux / PL2303 serial adapter drivers?

« on: June 20, 2018, 06:57:01 am »

Also wondering... I have built a modular kernel. If someone wants to use, downloads and some instructions can be found here: http://www.mygnu.de/index.php/2018/06/modu...the-gemini-pda/

Hoping this (or a better kernel) can be included in the next TP.

Mith, many thanks for this!  I'll stick with my static one for the moment but have bookmarked for if discover I have anything else I want to connect to it in future.

I think I have it figured - I followed the steps at https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-a...rnelCompilation but I think the extra step was to use:

[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']make O=../KERNEL_OUT -C kernel-3.18 ARCH=arm64 menuconfig[/div]

...so I could enable the driver for my usb-serial adapter.

Very happy - now I have a pocket-sized device with a physical keyboard which I can use to configure network switches about the building!

Has anyone managed to get a PL2303 USB to serial converter working with Debian?  It shows up with lsusb, but I can't find anything in /dev that would correspond to it.  I presume I need to compile a driver but wondered if anyone else had tried and had any useful pointers?

Many thanks in advance!
