I have a raspberrypi 3. If I put a usb serial rfxcom device in the USB port I get a ttyusb0 serial device with ftdi drivers, but I have another USB stick with serial interface easywave which does nothing, on a windows computer it is a serial device. How can I let my pi 3 see it as a serial device?

i am running

i know the usb stick Easywave from Eldat should use the

https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/783daf505c2d8ecf26eeb4b4cd657f4b48072540/drivers/usb/serial/cp210x.c

but the descripters for the usb easywave device aint formulated on the silicon labs driver

i added them in a pull request for the linux distribution , it is a bridge to far for me to update the driver itself in my pi 3 ,

https://github.com/nattlip/linux/commit/3f153b96bf2315b10a02b5ce486ae9bc447af8b3

a workaround is mentioned on stackoverflow

  • If you told us the model and log of the other device instead of that of the one that works for you, we could maybe help.

i found the right answer thanks to

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38330155/updating-product-vendor-id-on-raspberry-pi-cp210x

if you know the right descriptors of the device id and vendor id you can add them simply on your pi with

§ sudo modprobe cp210x
§ sudo sh -c 'echo 155a 100D > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'
§ sudo sh -c 'echo 155a 1013 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'
§ sudo sh -c 'echo 155a 1006 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_id'

update 29-04-2018

the rx09 usb stick with id 1006 is now in the offical linux kernel 4.9 , so if you update and upgrade your pi2 it should work without modprobe.
