Linux Device Path

If you connect a USB device to your RevPi base module and want to access it e.g. via PiCtory, you may need a so-called “device path”. This device path specifies the location in the Linux directory structure where the device is currently located.

Important! Your device must not yet be plugged in.

  • Start your RevPi and Login.
  • Enter the following command:
ls /dev/ttyUSB* > /tmp/a 2>/dev/null
  • Now plug in your USB device and wait about 5 seconds.
  • Then enter the following commands:
ls /dev/ttyUSB* > /tmp/b 2>/dev/null
diff /tmp/a /tmp/b

Your device path is now displayed. It is”/dev/ttyUSB0″.
