writing udev rule for USB device

I have 3 USB to serial devices connected via an USB hub to the PC.They are assigned device paths (ie; /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB2 ) based on the order of plugging in. My application will be lot easier to work with if the device paths remain static for a given USB device.



The plan is to write udev rules that uses an unique serial attribute to identify the device and then symlink it under a static name. The attributes of the device are :



user->/dev:udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB1)

looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2/3-1.2:1.0/ttyUSB1/tty/ttyUSB1':
KERNEL=="ttyUSB1"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty"
DRIVER==""

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2/3-1.2:1.0/ttyUSB1':
KERNELS=="ttyUSB1"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial"
DRIVERS=="ftdi_sio"
ATTRS{port_number}=="0"
ATTRS{latency_timer}=="1"
...

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2':

ATTRS{speed}=="12"
ATTRS{bNumInterfaces}==" 1"
ATTRS{bConfigurationValue}=="1"
ATTRS{bMaxPacketSize0}=="8"

ATTRS{version}==" 2.00"
ATTRS{urbnum}=="15"
ATTRS{ltm_capable}=="no"
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="FTDI"
ATTRS{removable}=="unknown"
ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001"
ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00"
ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART"

...

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00':
KERNELS=="pci0000:00"
SUBSYSTEMS==""
DRIVERS==""


The ATTRS{serial} attribute is unique for each device. However this is available under parent device only. I wrote the rules in a file called usb_d.rules located at user->/etc/udev/rules.d. The rule looks like below :



#matching parent device to access serial number
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="3-1.1", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="AL01QGTY", SYMLINK+=”device_AL01QGTY”


This should create a symlink in my /dev directory with name device_AL01QGTY but no such symlink was created. I am not sure where I went wrong.

  • I have something like this that works: SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A100*", SYMLINK+="ais" Just try it changing the serial number and SYMLINK.

  • This works like a charm !. I am not sure why the other rule did not work though. Do you have any thoughts about it ?

  • there is no subsystem=="tty" in the udevadm output so the rule does not match...

  • I have something like this that works: SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{serial}=="A100*", SYMLINK+="ais" Just try it changing the serial number and SYMLINK.

  • This works like a charm !. I am not sure why the other rule did not work though. Do you have any thoughts about it ?

  • there is no subsystem=="tty" in the udevadm output so the rule does not match...

I have 3 USB to serial devices connected via an USB hub to the PC.They are assigned device paths (ie; /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB2 ) based on the order of plugging in. My application will be lot easier to work with if the device paths remain static for a given USB device.



The plan is to write udev rules that uses an unique serial attribute to identify the device and then symlink it under a static name. The attributes of the device are :



user->/dev:udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB1)

looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2/3-1.2:1.0/ttyUSB1/tty/ttyUSB1':
KERNEL=="ttyUSB1"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty"
DRIVER==""

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2/3-1.2:1.0/ttyUSB1':
KERNELS=="ttyUSB1"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial"
DRIVERS=="ftdi_sio"
ATTRS{port_number}=="0"
ATTRS{latency_timer}=="1"
...

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2':
KERNELS=="3-1.2"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"
DRIVERS=="usb"
ATTRS{bDeviceSubClass}=="00"
ATTRS{bDeviceProtocol}=="00"
ATTRS{devpath}=="1.2"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403"
ATTRS{speed}=="12"
ATTRS{bNumInterfaces}==" 1"
ATTRS{bConfigurationValue}=="1"
ATTRS{bMaxPacketSize0}=="8"
ATTRS{busnum}=="3"
ATTRS{devnum}=="18"
ATTRS{configuration}==""
ATTRS{bMaxPower}=="90mA"
ATTRS{authorized}=="1"
ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="a0"
ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}=="1"
ATTRS{maxchild}=="0"
ATTRS{bcdDevice}=="0600"
ATTRS{avoid_reset_quirk}=="0"
ATTRS{quirks}=="0x0"
ATTRS{serial}=="AL01QGTY" ===> This attribute is unique to each device
ATTRS{version}==" 2.00"
ATTRS{urbnum}=="15"
ATTRS{ltm_capable}=="no"
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="FTDI"
ATTRS{removable}=="unknown"
ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001"
ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00"
ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART"

...

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00':
KERNELS=="pci0000:00"
SUBSYSTEMS==""
DRIVERS==""


The ATTRS{serial} attribute is unique for each device. However this is available under parent device only. I wrote the rules in a file called usb_d.rules located at user->/etc/udev/rules.d. The rule looks like below :



#matching parent device to access serial number
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="3-1.1", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="AL01QGTY", SYMLINK+=”device_AL01QGTY”


This should create a symlink in my /dev directory with name device_AL01QGTY but no such symlink was created. I am not sure where I went wrong.



P.S : Attaching output of udevadm test :



user->/etc/udev/rules.d:udevadm test $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB1)

I have 3 USB to serial devices connected via an USB hub to the PC.They are assigned device paths (ie; /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB2 ) based on the order of plugging in. My application will be lot easier to work with if the device paths remain static for a given USB device.



The plan is to write udev rules that uses an unique serial attribute to identify the device and then symlink it under a static name. The attributes of the device are :



user->/dev:udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB1)

looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2/3-1.2:1.0/ttyUSB1/tty/ttyUSB1':
KERNEL=="ttyUSB1"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty"
DRIVER==""

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2/3-1.2:1.0/ttyUSB1':
KERNELS=="ttyUSB1"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial"
DRIVERS=="ftdi_sio"
ATTRS{port_number}=="0"
ATTRS{latency_timer}=="1"
...

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1.2':
KERNELS=="3-1.2"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"
DRIVERS=="usb"
ATTRS{bDeviceSubClass}=="00"
ATTRS{bDeviceProtocol}=="00"
ATTRS{devpath}=="1.2"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403"
ATTRS{speed}=="12"
ATTRS{bNumInterfaces}==" 1"
ATTRS{bConfigurationValue}=="1"
ATTRS{bMaxPacketSize0}=="8"
ATTRS{busnum}=="3"
ATTRS{devnum}=="18"
ATTRS{configuration}==""
ATTRS{bMaxPower}=="90mA"
ATTRS{authorized}=="1"
ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="a0"
ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}=="1"
ATTRS{maxchild}=="0"
ATTRS{bcdDevice}=="0600"
ATTRS{avoid_reset_quirk}=="0"
ATTRS{quirks}=="0x0"
ATTRS{serial}=="AL01QGTY" ===> This attribute is unique to each device
ATTRS{version}==" 2.00"
ATTRS{urbnum}=="15"
ATTRS{ltm_capable}=="no"
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="FTDI"
ATTRS{removable}=="unknown"
ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001"
ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00"
ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART"

...

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00':
KERNELS=="pci0000:00"
SUBSYSTEMS==""
DRIVERS==""


The ATTRS{serial} attribute is unique for each device. However this is available under parent device only. I wrote the rules in a file called usb_d.rules located at user->/etc/udev/rules.d. The rule looks like below :



#matching parent device to access serial number
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="3-1.1", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="AL01QGTY", SYMLINK+=”device_AL01QGTY”


This should create a symlink in my /dev directory with name device_AL01QGTY but no such symlink was created. I am not sure where I went wrong.



P.S : Attaching output of udevadm test :



user->/etc/udev/rules.d:udevadm test $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB1)

The original rule:




SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="3-1.1", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="AL01QGTY", SYMLINK+=”device_AL01QGTY”






  • SUBSYSTEM=="usb" is in parent node, so use SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"


  • KERNEL=="3-1.1" should be removed, you don't want a rule for specific USB port. Notice your udevadm info output 3-1.2!



    By the way, if it was really needed, then it's KERNELS not KERNEL. Because it is a match from a parent node.




  • SYMLINK+=”device_AL01QGTY” copy-n-paste issue. It should be "" not ””



  • The NAME, SYMLINK, PROGRAM, OWNER, GROUP, MODE, and RUN fields support
    simple string substitutions.




    Reference: man udev




Solution:



SUBSYSTEM=="tty",SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",DRIVERS=="usb",SYMLINK+="device_%s{serial}"

        • SUBSYSTEM=="usb" is in parent node, so use SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"


        • KERNEL=="3-1.1" should be removed, you don't want a rule for specific USB port. Notice your udevadm info output 3-1.2!



          By the way, if it was really needed, then it's KERNELS not KERNEL. Because it is a match from a parent node.




        • SYMLINK+=”device_AL01QGTY” copy-n-paste issue. It should be "" not ””



        • The NAME, SYMLINK, PROGRAM, OWNER, GROUP, MODE, and RUN fields support
          simple string substitutions.




          Reference: man udev




        Solution:



        SUBSYSTEM=="tty",SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",DRIVERS=="usb",SYMLINK+="device_%s{serial}"
