- clr-usb2serial access (libftdi) in clear linux -

[ionutnechita]

I need a new bundler: clr-usb2serial, to use the serial consoles.

Clear Linux Project - 28100 - 4.20.13-708.native #1 SMP Wed Feb 27 10:09:06 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

For manual setup I used:
libFTDI - https://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/download.php
libusb - https://github.com/libusb/libusb/releases
libconfuse - https://github.com/martinh/libconfuse/releases
minicom - https://github.com/Distrotech/minicom
picocom - https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom/releases

It would help if I had a bundler. If a system is reinstalled, I could easily install it from the upstream with swupd.

Thank you for your support.

@ionutnechita try the sysadmin-basic bundle. It has minicom and screen.

Indeed, but Ionut's request is mentioning a few other indispensable packages for a workstation (libftdi and libusb). There are a number of applications (including some flashing software) that requires them.

We have libusb-1.so and libconfuse.so.2 already, but they're hidden or not properly separately bundled. libftdi appears to be missing.

Is picocom really needed minicom not sufficient? do you really need both?

[ionutnechita]

Yes, I need both to test a new environment.

added a "maker-basic" bundle with a set of these low level usb/serial tools (they're all tiny and often used together so a joint bundle for these feels reasonable)

Everything except picocom is in.

picocom will be in the same bundle by tomorrow.

I tested it now and it seems that everything is in its place.
