[Bug 1595656] Re: modprobe ftdi_sio - nonfunctional for (some) devices

 

linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic ==> and all versions after it? Probably a few before it too.
It sure exists in the current 4.4 too (current for Ubuntu 16.04)

** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => linux-lts-xenial (Ubuntu)

Title:
  modprobe ftdi_sio - nonfunctional for (some) devices

Status in linux-lts-xenial package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  $ cat /proc/version_signature
  Ubuntu 4.2.0-27.32~14.04.1-generic 4.2.8-ckt1

  Some background:

  I have recently acquired a Flashforge Creator Pro 2016, a FDM/FFF 3D-
  printer that came with the [Open source "Sailfish" firmware][1].

  Now to use the advanced features of the firmware you need to use
  "[ReplicatorG][2]" (free software) and connect to the printer using
  the provided USB-cable.

  This relies on FTDI-based communications with it's ATMega 2560 -based controller board (Mightyboard 2560)
   
  I can currently run Windows in a virtual machine (Virtualbox) and use ReplicatorG for the full set of features, including firmware updates (did that yesterday).

  BUT, this is not possible using Ubuntu (14.04.4 and 16.04 installed
  and used in attempts)

  From what I can see I should use 
  <pre>
  sudo modprobe ftdi-sio 
  sudo chmod 666  /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
  sudo echo "23c1 d314" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
  </pre>
  ... then simply connect the cable.

  This DOES set up /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 as expected, but these
  are nonfunctional

  What I see is this, in dmesg

  Now, this failure seems to fairly general, in googling I have come
  across a number of devices with very similar (if not the same) failure
  on all of them.

  So it seems to be some sort of shortcoming of the `ftdi_sio` module.

  HELP!?
