Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Re: Cosmo Linux firmware v3 has been released with Cosmo Cover Display support.
« on: December 11, 2020, 12:37:51 pm »
Hi folks!
I've been using this V3 linux implementation for a few weeks and have had pretty good luck with it.
I had a "USB C Hub, MCY 8-in-1 Type c hub Adapter with RJ45 Ethernet Port" laying around and it works well on port 1 (the left side). I have used an ethernet connection for several days connected to that hub. I haven't tested the hdmi yet but it shows it's there and I am confident that will work.
I had two items that I'd love to get some feedback on from anyone:
__USB to Serial adapters -Do any work in this version of linux?
I have tested a Prolific 2303 chipset based USB to Serial adapter as well as an FTDI Based USB to Serial Adapter -in both cases I know they adapters have the real chipsets vs a knock-off/grey market chip. Both adapters are properly enumerated on the USB bus (lsusb) and have a device id etc but don't get as far as getting a usable /dev/TTYUSB*. I'm thinking there may not be kernel support in this build for ftdi.sio for example or whatever the one is for the prolific2303. Has anyone had any experience with USB to Serial on this build with the Cosmo? I'm thinking I'm going to have to do this the hard way unless I've missed something.
__ofono-scripts: does anyone have one of these that works well for Google Fi in the US? I have a SIM on the way from google and am hopeful ill be able to pull what's needed off the SIM for the script automagically but it never is that easy it seems ;-).
Thanks for your time!
