Minicom and USB to serial adapter

Im looking to test and potentially develop support for usb to serial adapters and for console connectivity with an app similar to or with Minicom. I'm a network administrator and would be able to use my Asus Transformer or other Android tablets with USB connectors to console into the equipment I manage.
Does anyone else have interest in a project like this?
Does anyone else know of a similar project?
Thanks

I've been searching around and have found that there are Bluetooth serial apadpters with software that should allow for connectivity. Reading reviews I get mixed results.

that would be pretty cool, i am also a network manager and will proably buy also a transformer (just waiting for the new archos to see if they are anything good).
I think the rs323 cable approach would be better as there would be no power drain from the Bluetooth (i know its minumal but...).
I am new to android development (i am going to do my university final thesis based on a android software) but i would like to help
PS - if you connect a usb-rs232 adapter to the transformer and do "dmesg | tail" on a shell does it appear.
Also see if the last answer on this post helps htxxp://stackoverflow.com/questions/4621580/using-serial-port-rs-232-in-android

This is something I would pay a couple of english pounds for from the market.
My USB->Serial port adapter is based around the Prolific PL2303 chip which I think is pretty common, so may be a good place to start.

That would be amazing.
I am a network administrator and would love to see this on my device. Although I have an Acer A500 and not the Asus Transformer.

I plugged in my usb to serial adapter and ran dmesg. Here was the output :
Code:
usb 1-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Any idea of what app I could use to connect to that to test it out?

If we had full GNU utilities on Android, you could use screen against /dev/ttyUSB0 and that should connect to the serial device.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any direct serial communication applications on Android.

I'm also an IT administration and could use a working rs232 solution for my tablet.

Keyspan usb-serial adapters have drivers available in the kernel. Seems to me easiest thing to do would be to build the required kernel modules, install debian to a parition on the SD card, setup a chroot environment and install minicom/screen/serial terminal of choice. Alternatively instead of debian chroot, you could build a serial terminal client for use in the android linux environment.

Hi guys, I am a Acer Iconia A500 user but found this topic yesterday while trying to find a way to use my usb/rs232 adapter for my linux boxes at work. It seems like the only thing you need is kernel modules for the adapter you have (either prolific or ftdi) and busybox 1.19. I wrote a quick how-to for my Acer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16703609&postcount=23) which I am also copying below. As long as you can find the kernel modules it should apply to Transformer as well:
Thanks to celsoffraga and also thor2002ro for the kernel modules, I can confirm that A500 can run a usb/serial (rs232) perfectly fine on the stock 3.1 kernel/rom.
Ingredients: Rooted, A500, kernel modules for your adapter, a terminal emulator, and busybox 1.19 which has a tool called microcom in it.
Install busybox 1.19 through this application (the other busybox installer app on the market installs a slightly different version of 1.19 that does not have microcom):
https://market.android.com/details?i...ybox.installer
Download usb2serial package for your kernel from the first post of (you can check your kernel version from Settings - About Tablet):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1058713
Extract that usb2serial zip to somewhere in the tablet (I used /mnt/sdcard/modules/). There should be two files, one for Prolific chipset serial converter, pl2303.ko which is the most common one, the other one for the Fidi chipset, ftdi_sio.ko, which is what I had.
Now open your favorite terminal emulator (Both terminal emulator and connectbot works) and load the module you need, or you can load both:
Code:
insmod /mnt/sdcard/modules/ftdi_sio.ko
Now plug your usb/serial converter to the USB port, and type "dmesg" in terminal. You should see something like "FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0" , which means everything is detected fine and attached to the correct device point in linux.
Now comes the serial terminal emulator, which is called "microcom".
In terminal, just type microcom and it should return a short help text. Our device name (TTY) is /dev/ttyUSB0 . So if I want to connect to a rs232 port with 9600 baud rate, the command should be:
Code:
microcom -s 9600 /dev/ttyUSB0
Tadaaa!​

If it means I no longer have to undock and lug my massive work laptop down to the datacentre every time, I'm all for it.

fincan - awesome, can't wait to get my dock to test that out. Thank you.

Very interested in ur app, keep me posted...
Thanks

Unfortunately, my video on demand provider (in France) uses an application that checks if the tablet is rooted. I had to unroot to be able to download and watch films and catchup TV.
Is there any hope to control a FTDI interface from user space (libusb, libftdi)?
Or could I install the .ko driver so that is survive the unroot process (using the Universal script)?

ICS update?
Has anyone got this to work in ICS? If so what kernel module are you using? Tried the one from the A500 link but I get an "Invalid Argument" while running insmod

is there a possible solution for my problem? Or has anyone a working driver?

1) This should go in general.
2) You can try loading the attached module using insmod or modprobe.

MD4 has been built into the CM kernel for maximum compatibility. Anyway, here's the md4.ko if you want to use stock.

Hi pawit, thanks a lot for the module pack.
One question comes up as the module loads perfectly: How can I route traffic like for the standard mail client through eth0 device? The mail client and the play store app seem to need a wlan device

I don't know. The standard android is supposed to recognize eth0 as a valid internet connection and route automatically. CM does, I'm not sure how Acer configured it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

how does one implement this into stock?

Please, could someone help me!
Iam on Icianian 2.4 and try to get the dm9601.ko work!
But every time, i load the kernel module, the tap froze!
any idea?
Could the kernel module wrong?

I'm working on this for iconiaN
It's going to require more than just kernel modules to work

Hi,
not realy!
I can tell you, it work!
But you have to plugin, get on terminal and configer the eth0.
netcfg eth0 dhcp
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
and it work

I've got it working now without having to use terminal.
Tested using a Galaxy S Mini USB Tether.
It uses usb0 instead of eth0 but it worked without issues.
I have built the kernel with the network modules built-in and also patched framework files.

Bamm your are the best.This would realy nice.
Please could you build the right mount points inside the kernel?
Think about sdcard.This is /Removeable/xxx
I guess its /mnt/external_usb
Can we point the uab device to eth0?
So Android Firewall would work.

[Q] need usb to ethernet drivers for Micromax A117

i have a usb to Ethernet adapter 10/100 which cabe with its CD. I hooked it up with my device but no luck. :crying:
could not see eth0 in terminal using netcfg .
after reading some posts about usb to Ethernet on xda , I rooted the phone, ran the makefile provided in the CD. still no luck.
So finally after reading for 2 days, I have options to
Install Ethernet drivers (don't know how)
Install kernel with Ethernet drivers (will change my phone config completely, maybe need to recalibrate later)
Flash a new ROM with Ethernet drivers (will need to reinstall everything)
Don't know the best option. Kinda stuck.
I don't want to loose the current config of cpu speed, etc. provided in the current Android
FYI: The device is detected on the device using usb host controller. Usb to Ethernet Model "Terabyte USB To Lan Card Ethernet Adapter Speed 10/100" found on Amazon. Manufacturer CH9100 Make CH9200. drivers provided has a "ch9x00.c" dunno what to do with it. (I mean after cross compiling).
attached the .c file for refrence.

[Resolved] OnePlus One + NetHunter - no power on otg AND LKM support issue

Hello everybody! Noobing the shoozle out of my:
OnePlus One, model A0001 / 64GB currently with: Android 6.0.1 / Cyanogen OS version: 13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon / CyanogenMod API level: Elderberry(5) (just FYI, not sure if helpful)
Kernel version: 3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e
Unlocked, rooted with BaconRootToolkit/ TWRP ROM, downloaded latest ver -3.0.2-0 via official App, from Play Store
Kali images from: build.nethunter.com/nightly, as offensive-security's kali-nethunter wiki on github says (no external links for noobs, sorry )
apt-get updated, upgraded and dist-upgraded via KALI terminal
The first issue is with the OTG, not powering the USB WiFi adapter properly... with the regular USB-OTG adapter, lsusb WORKS, and returns proper info about 3 different adapters (Alfa Awus036h, TP-link WN725N and WN722N), BUT does not power them. No indicator lights get lit whatsoever 0mA status from lsusb -v
I bought a powered USB-OTG hub, that appears to not charge my phone, when plugged in two different chargers AND a powerbank. Still lsusb -v returns: 100mA current for the hub.
I tried plugging an A4Tech receiver for kbd+mouse, both work fine, with the tplink WN725N plugged in the second USB socket. lsusb shows the hub, the receiver and the WN725N data... Both regular and hub OTG's work fine with mouse+kbd, read and write data to USB Memsticks. Regular OTG transfers files to a computer and charges the phone.
I noticed that when in Android, the WiFi is turned off, ifconfig omits wlan0 and p2p0, that is the phone's main WiFi adapter.
So I thought that manually loading (insmod) the rtl drivers would start the OTG wlan.... Thus coming to the second issue:
The kernel is without LKM support - no modprobe, lsmod returns:
Code:
libkmod: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c: 1655 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: no such file or directory
Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory
When "apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" is typed, returns:
Code:
E: Unable to locate package 'linux-headers-3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e'
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.4.112-cyanogenmod-g8fbc62e'
"apt-cache search linux-headers" returns some options for version linux-headers-4.9.0-kali1-all-armhf (the only armHF, others are armmp)
I cannot find a way to recompile my kernel and enable Loadable Kernel Modules support. Would you say this would be necessary for the external WiFi to work?
Do you know if there is any way out of this mess, as I am really tired fighting a "Our preferred device"-release issues??? Overall I'd love it if I could run external antenna
I am kind of new around.... In forums - in general, so I kindly ask for understanding. If any screenshots/pics/additional info is required - I'll make sure I update this thread. Not sure if I could've posted this thread in XDA assist, so I did it here.
EDIT: everything went fine when I tried third, different USB - WiFi adapter. Works properly. Still no LKMs.

PostmarketOS

Hello, physical keyboard geeks!
I've added basic support for the galaxy s relay to the postmarketos project. You can now build a new kernel with a modern compiler that will boot on our sliders. Tested: Boot, usb ethernet, flashing with heimdall, nothing else.
Something like this might work to install:
apt-get install -y python3
Clone the repo and cd into it.
git clone https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap.git
cd pmbootstrap
Start the install wizard
./pmbootstrap.py init
Chose samsung-apexq for device and use the xfce4 gui. (unsure if graphics will work, but if it does it's the one you want)
./pmbootstrap.py install --android-recovery-zip --no-fde
Now export the zip file
./pmbootstrap.py export
It should give you a path to a zip you can flash with CWM or TWRP. If that doesn't work, then run install without --android-recovery-zip and try flashing with the heimdall wrapper like this:
./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_rootfs
./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_kernel
(Obviously, make sure you have a good usb data cable and not just a charge only cable, oh and make sure you have backups of your favorite android rom so you can go back to android).
Go forth and test! My dev phone's screen died so now it's up to YOU! File bugs in the postmarketos gitlab project issues. Complaints, insults about my mother, and general snark are welcome here. If you have a problem, I'm happy to ignore you while you figure it out, so don't be shy!

Here's a flashable zip: https://gitlab.com/5ilver/apexq/blob/master/20190329-pmos-samsung-apexq.zip
I can't test it (no working screen), but the root/boot heimdall flash version is working for me via download mode at least far enough to ssh into the phone and poke around.

Hi i managed to follow your Steps.
Thanks for that wonderfull Howto.
Installed FatToad on my regular Phone and PostmarketOS from you on my Spare t-699.
Your Display is broken?..how is that happend?
Managed to make a flashable CWM Zip and i did not go further than the PostmarketOS Screen.
ADB is not working and now after use Install via Fastboot..it stay postmarketscreen.
I let it stay the next 10 Minutes on this..maybe something usable come out
btw:
Do you come from Germany?
Maybe i can Donate you with my Spare T-699?
Many Thanks for your work..a second Post from me will come when i am little further.
And i had to laugh loud in the Moment where i saw that i can use simply the git Software Downloader for Gitlab too..and i thought i need a special Gitlab Software :good:
Thanks for teaching me this

Awesome! This is great to see! I'm in the US, but thanks anyway. Ok so the kernel booted on your phone. This is cool. Now the next steps are to get X working so we can use the screen and run programs. If the phone is connected to your computer with a usb cable, it should identify itself as a usb ethernet adapter that you can get a dhcp address from. Something like sudo dhclient -v enp0s19f2u1 and then ssh [email protected] should allow you to access the phone. The errors are in /var/log/Xorg.log.0 I think. Need to get that dumped and give it a good hard look, maybe enable some fallback display mode or something. Need to probe around in /dev/input too and see what sort of input devices are detected. This is good progress though. We're getting the phone back into a supportable state.
Not sure how my display broke. One day it was just blank when I tried to wake it, but it worked after a few tries. It got harder and harder to use with the keyboard out, and so I got another one. When I started working on this port the screen had to be held very still or it would blank out. Now, it just won't come on at all. It is possibly a bad flex cable.

Unfortunaly Connection Refused @ Port 22
But you are right..Kernel seem to boot fine and it is a "NetworkDevice"
Phew Ameria is on the other Side of the World from here..thanks again for help to get it work.
Btw i saw an Android Device in my File Explorer from Linux but it cannot be mounted via MTP.

172.16.42.2 is your own computer. Maybe ssh didn't successfully start on the phone. Try restarting it. Don't worry about getting the logs for me, I have a copy from mine. I just need to go through them and find the errors.

Restarting phone did not start ssh but i have an Idea:
gmtp had Errors too because i tried to vonnect with MTP

Fixed the Logfile..last Part was missing

Hey this is great! I still take out my Relay "for a spin" occasionally, so I'm thinking of testing this.
I'm guessing the .zip is flashable withTWRP, not CWM?
I don't have any dev tools and I'm running Win10 (been ages since I've had a running Linux rig), so I'm not sure how much feedback I can provide. Should I wait until the build is a little more stable?

It should work in either recovery, or at least the documentation I've seen so far does not specify. You shouldn't need any tools, just put the image I linked from gitlab on an sd card. Stability... well things are quite stable in their current very broken state. I ran my phone for almost a week straight, so no worries there. Getting X working is probably the next big step. It will likely be a while. The frame buffer driver doesn't seem to be giving very useful errors but I'm sure someone has bumped into the same problems on another phone, so we'll get there.

i tried little with startx xinit and others
and it seem to need xterm but xterm is not installed
(see the attached Picture)
I tried to change the Config from Display 0 to Display 1 but no success
and no Screen on the Relay for now.
And a little good Information:
Touchscreen is working.
When i touch the Display i see touched Coordinates in dmesg
Sometimes i had the Message that Xserver is already running on Display 0
but after trying some Things not more.

Starting X over ssh probably will not work since your local term is not graphical. I tried putting a default screen section in the xorg config, but that didn't make the X service work. I've read that disabling 3d accel for the msm chipset in the kernel can help so I'll try that next.

No luck with disabling MSM_KGSL, seems to have the same stream of errors followed by a segfault in the X log. I also tried including an additional package xf86-video-fbdev which had no effect either (I think it must have already been pulled in by a dependency). The msm-fb-refresher package appears in the similar looking samsung-jflte APKBUILD, so I'll try that later today.
Maybe the weston graphical environment is worth a try instead of X? Seems some other msm based phones like it.

About that i have no Knowledge but thanks that you try so much

any News?

I dropped my phone, got a dead spot in the camera, got another relay on ebay, and here we are with a perfectly good dev phone with a good screen. So I can hack on the display now. X11 is broken, but weston works fine. No update on last time, just select weston instead of xfce4 in pmbootstrap init. I'll get hackin on the 'red' problem, which from what I gather is pretty common and easily patchable.

Wow Great News,thank you for still working on it.
When you send me your Paypal Adress via PM then i want to donate little Bit for you because you bought another T-699 over Ebay for us all.
This Picture look good and this "Red Error" is little bit funny and
i am glad to see Weston is working.
Touchscreen worked good?

The touch screen worked great. The keyboard even works too! Some small gotchas, like numeric symbols being selected with shift instead of alt, but it works!
