Sharing a Prolific USB-UART Converter with VirtualBox 04 Apr 2016. While creating a UART protocol for use in a new product, it became useful to connect a serial adapter from my host PC to the Vagrant environment which held the protocol code and its dependencies. Provided by: freebsd-manpages10.1RC1-1all NAME uftdi — USB support for serial adapters based on the FTDI family of USB serial adapter chips. SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device usb device ucom device uftdi Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5.
There are two other articles on a serial port adapter for Windows. Below is the instructions for Linux and how to connect your serial adapter while using Linux. This should work for most people using Linux and a serial adapter or usb to rs232 driver which is being discussed.
USB to RS 232 driver Linux
1. Log into Linux under the root account;
2. Plug the USB-Serial adapter into the computer;
3. Give it a minute to discover the USB-Serial adpater;

4. Type in this command dmesg
5. The dmesg command will echo back the most recent few lines of the system message console, and you should see something like this:
- usb 2.0: new full speed USB device using uhci and address 2
- usb 2.0: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
6. Unplug the USB-Serial adapter to see a list of USB devices without it being plugged in.
7. Type this command to list the USB devices: lsusb
8. You should see a list of USB devices that looks like this:
- Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
- Bus 002 Device 007: ID 03f0:4f11 Hewlett-Packard
- Bus 002 Device 006: ID 05e3:1205 Genesys Logic, Inc. Afilias Optical Mouse H3003
- Bus 002 Device 004: ID 15d9:0a33 Logitec-mouse
9. Then plug the USB into our device Then use the lsusbcommand again and observe the changes
- Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
- Bus 002 Device 007: ID 03f0:4f11 Hewlett-Packard
- Bus 002 Device 003: ID 018a:3754 Unknown device
- Bus 002 Device 006: ID 05e3:1205 Genesys Logic, Inc. Afilias Optical Mouse H3003
- Bus 002 Device 004: ID 15d9:0a33 Logitec-mouse
10. Determine the vendor ID and the product ID by inspecting this additional line. In this example they are 018a and 3754. For a Trip•Lite USB-Serial adapter, they are 2303 and 067B. In this example it is a Minicom USB-Serial device. The first numbers identifies the vendor and the second numbers identifies the product.
11. Now use the following command to load the kernel module called usb serial and pass the vendor and product ID values to it. The driver can then associate itself with the correct hardware device on the USB bus.
- sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=018a product=3754
12. Now check whether the new Serial Port device is available
- sudo dmesg | grep ttyUSB
13. You should now see something like this
- usbserial_generic 1-1:1.0: generic converter detected
- usb 1-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0
- usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
14. This tells you that the serial device has now been mapped to the /dev/ttyUSBO serial port
15. Now we want to list the devices under the /dev/ path to see if the interface is visible with this command:
- ls /dev/
18. Instruct Ubuntu to load this module automatically by including the following line in the /etc/modules file. Substitute yourownvendor and product ID if they are different.
- usbserial vendor=018a product=3754
That should be about it however if you have not installed the driver then you would have to install it now. If you are installing a Minicom serial device then you would do the following:
- sudo apt-get install minicom
- sudo minicom -s
Press A and then edit to / dev / ttyUSB 0 ( this value, see dmesg | grep ttyUSB )
Press E and then edit to 9600 8N1
Press F and the value will change from Yes to No
Once set up and finish off mode serial port setup.
Save setup as df1 finished off. Settings by Exit from Minicom
Other Issues:
This is for Ubuntu Linux for Red Hat the drivers should be in your OS however TrippLite does have Red Hat drivers on their website if you do not have them on your system.
If you are trying to connect a Zigbee through this serial port you can do the following:
Make a symbolic link between ttyUSB0 and com2 by typing in terminal: (assuming you are using com2)
- ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /home/your_home/.wine/dosdevices/com2
Then Add com2 port to X-CTU

As far as i din't found any thread with this 'special' topic i decided to post this thread.
I want to connect my Profilic USB-serial Adapter to the Guest (Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 10.04.02).
The Adapter is correct installed on the Host System (Mac OS X 10.6.7). The Device Driver is from http://osx-pl2303.sourceforge.net/
When i try to connect the Adapter to the guest OS i get:
Fehlercode:
NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Komponente:
HostUSBDevice
Interface:
IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}
Callee:
IConsole {515e8e8d-f932-4d8e-9f32-79a52aead882}
The USB-serial adapter is not listed with 'lsusb' or 'dmesg | grep usb' on the guest.
I get the same error when i:
- add the Addapter to USB filter in the ports settings of the guest.
- add the Adapter as a serial device (COM1) in the ports settings
I even tried to connect the Adapter only when the guest is running.
I didn't found a suitable solution on any forum thread and google.
I downloaded a test version of parallels. Where the USB-seriel Adapter is working properly on the Guest OS.
So, what the hack is wrong with my Virtualbox and it's Host?
My configuration:
Host: Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 on MacBookPro8,1
