We have a number of secure serial device servers (from
http://www.vscom.de/) where I work. One the Linux server where they are connected, they show up at different /dev/ttyUSB locations after each boot. No particular surprise as I've seen the same things with disks. What I wanted to do was create symlinks that remained constant. So, one starts by profiling the devices via
udevinfo -a -p /class/tty/ttyUSBXX
A lot of info spews out. For these particular devices, there are two ttyUSBXX entries, one number apart. They differ in only one regard
29c29
< SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00"
---
> SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01"
So, one has to create udev rules to differentiate the two. I created a file '/etc/udev/rules.d/97-pdu.rules' the looks like
kernel=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", SYSFS{../serial}=="FT123456",
SYSFS{../product}=="USB FAST SERIAL ADAPTER", SYSFS{../manufacturer}=="FTDI", SY
MLINK+="PDU44"
kernel=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", SYSFS{../serial}=="FT123456",
SYSFS{../product}=="USB FAST SERIAL ADAPTER", SYSFS{../manufacturer}=="FTDI", SY
MLINK+="PDU45"
Did a 'udevtest /class/tty/ttyUSBXX' to make sure the correct symlinks would be created, and then did a '/sbin/udevtrigger' to make it happen the first time. All was good after that.
