Linux, Ubuntu 11.10, Using The Teensy Loader

[Dernogard]

Hello

I decided to install Ubuntu 11.10 follow guide on website....
and i stuck nearly at end, I don;t know how to make to load program using Teensy Loader

Step by step i did:
1. Installed Ubuntu 11.10 (on separate partition - I can still switch on load screen between Windows and Ubuntu)
2. Add "universe" to software sources, Clicked Edit>Software Sources. Selected "Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)", and close.
3. Clicked on the Ubuntu desk. In the search area, typed "terminal" with no quotes, and hit enter. In the terminal, typed "sudo apt-get update" with no quotes, and pressed enter.
4. Download the .deb file and installed.
5. I connect DIY USB adapter and run GIMX (i was thinking it will work, because i install program when i used windows for teensy loader)
but instead i have GIMX saying to me NO SERIAL PORT DETECTED)

Question is what I did wrong please can any one help

Kind Regards

Hi,

Did you connect the usb to serial board (CP2102...) to the PC, and the Teensy to the console?

[Dernogard]

Yes in that order and in Ubuntu didn't see ports
when i switch to windows everything works like before
maybe i need to do something in Ubuntu ?

I couldn't use Teensy Loader in Ubuntu its keep saying to press the button and I do press but nothing happened
When I switch to Windows Teensy Loader work perfectly, Programming, rebooting ...
and as far i know In tutorial I do not need to install drivers for serial board CP2102 for Ubuntu

Maybe should I try upgrade Ubuntu for latest version (I will not use Bluetooth) ?

Please post more advice If You can.

Kind Regards

What's the result of the following commands:

Code: Select all

lsusb
ll /dev/ttyUSB*

ls: cannot access /dev/ttyUSB*: No such file or directory

That's the problem. Ubuntu is not mapping your cp2102 to a ttyUSB device.

What's the result of the following command:

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep -A 5 -B 5 cp210x

If you don't use gimx-bluetooth you can upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04.
