Recommended Posts

Hi team, I want to install a 3G USB modem from Huawei exactly the e173 one in a Nexbox A95X 1/8 TVBOX, I can see the modem is on modem mode  in lsusb, but I cant get work that modem. I can't see the serial ports that supposed to be in /dev/ directory, can you help me?

thanks for your quick response, sorry I'm new here I don't know how to write down in this kind of topics

 

I got installed this one

 ARMBIAN 5.60 user-built Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.18.7-aml-s9xxx
 

 

The modem is detected but I can't see the serial ports

root@A95X:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 12d1:1c05 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Broadband stick (modem on)
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
root@A95X:~# ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyUSB*': No such file or directory
 

 

thanks

Maybe because it is appearing as other kind of devices, such /dev/ttyACM* ...

Check what "dmesg" is reporting, could be that specific driver is not present in this kernel ...

According to "dmesg" output, no driver is associated with USB insertion ...

Check the possibility of presence/absence of those kernel configs :

grep USB_SERIAL_OPTION /boot/config-*
grep USB_NET_QMI_WWAN /boot/config-*
grep CONFIG_USB_NET_HUAWEI_CDC_NCM /boot/config-*
