[chirp_devel] Improving Chirp LiveCD

[B Giff]

Team,

This isn't specifically a Chirp dev question, but you will be my best source of information.

I am updating the Chirp LiveCD and would like the cable detection to be a lot more robust.  To make this happen, I need info on how Linux detects the chipsets.  If you would please, in Linux, plug your programming cable in, open a terminal window and run:

dmesg | grep tty

Find the line for your cable and post it along with the type of cable.

This is the output for a Prolific PL2303 based cable:
[  180.547070] usb 2-1.3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

And this one is for a Silicon Labs CP210x cable:
[ 1655.773564] usb 3-1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Those are the only two cables I have info for, so any other cables would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Bob
