Greetings all;

/dev/serial/by-id has not been created for quite some time. The arm folks have had a patch script for quite a while but it has not been fixed in debian that we know of. I have 4 identical banana pi's, 3 of which seem to work, but the patch has not fixed the 4th on for some unk reason.

When a serial device is plugged into a usb point, /dev/ttyACM# is created on all 4 machines, but /dev/serial/by-id entries are not. Some of the 3d printer stuff uses that by-id thing to separate printers plugged into the same host, and the lack of a /dev/serial entry kills the 3d printer drivers.

Can anyone give us a hint as to when this will be addressed?

Hi Gene,

The subject suggest that it's "60-serial.rules" which is broken. This would be a udev rules file.

If you know the contents of the patch, couldn't you just create your own rules file which implements this patch? Is there any particular reason why you need to wait for Debian to make the change?

As an addemdum to my previous reply, I just check this machine running bullseye, and I have /dev/serial/by-path with several devices, but no /dev/serial/by-id directory exists, so fixing this bug will fix most of the debian world.

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
