Probably the USB Product ID isn't being matched to the FTDI driver under Linux.<br>
RT Systems uses custom IDs for their cables.<br>
<br>
Try unplugging the cable (and all FTDI based cables), then as root or using sudo bash try:<br>
<br>
# make sure ftdi serial driver isn't loaded.<br>
rmmod ftdi_sio<br>
<br>
# (temporarily) associate your cable's USB Vendor and Product ID with the FTDI driver<br>
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x403 product=0x9e51<br>
<br>
Then take a look at the logs and see if you got a USB serial driver created.<br>
<br>
dmesg | tail -50<br>
<br>
You should hopefully see something like:<br>
<br>
usb 4-2: Detected FT2232C<br>
...<br>
usb 4-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0<br>
<br>
