CH340 serial converter - missing /dev/ttyUSB0

Hi All,

 

I have a BPI-M2 ZERO, BANANA-PI-ZERO with SERIAL to USB plugged in.

 

It's being detected by

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter

but it doesn't appear under /dev/ttyUSB0

 

The problem is that I can't see it under /dev/ as /dev/ttyUSB0.

 

I haven't tried installing CH340 drivers yet. Should I use the ones for Ubuntu? Here is the tutorial I found but I'm not sure if those are the correct drivers:

My case with similar 32b hardware but with supported kernel on unsupported board.

Thank you for reply.

 

It's definitely not fake as I use the same on Raspberry Pi and it works fine.
