[req] WinChipHead Serial2Usb adapter support

Post by willyvmm »

Is it possible to add support for the WinChipHead USB toSerial adapters?

Only one line in kernel config :)

Code: Select all

driver uchcom
I know the comment in uchcom.c file

Code: Select all

/*
 * Driver for WinChipHead CH341/340, the worst USB-serial chip in the
 * world.
 */
But the prolific driver is broken and I have to use CH340 cable ...

Thanks ;)

Hi, I assume you mean it is not included in NAS4Free ?
Did you already load is as seperate module, you can get it from the iso you can
download from FreeBSD.org
(I checked, uchcom.ko is in /boot/kernel/) I could load it with kldload, but I have no such cable to test it.

good luck.

Thanks for your reply.

The driver is not included in Nas4Free.
I used module from my other system and it works fine.

Now, I'am compiling my own version of Nas4Free (with driver compiled in).
