USB Tethering PPPD

[ToxicAvenger]

Hi,

Im not familiar with USB Tethering.

I have custom device which is connected to another by serial wire.

I would like if there any chances to improve stability, and performance of this connection, by replaicing it by USB tethering.

This is my solution:

|1 DEVICE|<=>FTDI<=>SERIAL<=>FTDI<=>|2 DEVICE|

To my device this serial is connected thru FTDI.

I have USB port (/dev/ttyUSB_N for example) in my system which is responsible for this type of connection.

Im using PPPD and L2TP to make it possible to bridge this connection with normal ETH.

I have usb0 interface in my system.

Is it possible to tell usb0 to use /dev/ttyUSB_N ?

usb0 is able to use bridge without PPPD and L2TP.

Best regards,

Toxic

What progress have you made on this issue?

I would suspect that you should connect to the FTDI site and view their software/drivers/samples there is a wealth of info regarding serial communication via a USB-to-serial adapter.

I myself have been working on a similar problem.  I am running Android R10.4 (Android 2.3.7) and trying to get serial over USB working (via an FTDI USB-to-serial adapter).  So far it appears FTDI has many pieces but they primarily target Android 3.1/3.2 and above.

If you're running Android perhaps we are working down a similar path...
