Re: Thermiq installation on Ubuntu 11.10

Worked this out with Anders last night. Thank you Anders, awesome hands-on support for ThermIQ indeed!

Cdc-acm and usbserial kernel modules both support the same device and since cdc-acm runs first and creates ttyACM0, usbserial is not able to create ttyUSB0.

The fix sequence goes something like this:

1. Blacklist the cdc-acm kernel module by adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:

blacklist cdc-acm

2. rmmod cdc_acm (not sure if really needed)

3. modprobe usbserial vendor=0x4d8 product=0xfdeb

(also add to /etc/modules:

usbserial vendor=0x04d8 product=0xfdeb)

4. Unplug the usb and plug it again.

5. chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB0

(add this to some startup script)
