解决Ubuntu22.04无法使用ch34x串口问题

问题背景

在去年RDC2022上很幸运抽中了纪念板柿饼M7。在此感谢RT-Thread！！！本文介绍了Ubuntu22.04下开发RT Smart遇到的无法使用ch34x串口问题。

问题描述

Ubuntu22.04无法使用ch34x串口
使用lsusb命令可以看到有Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter是能识别出ch34x设备

---

原因分析

1. Ubuntu22.04自带的ch34x驱动版本过老
   使用ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/serial命令查看Ubutnu自带驱动，找到ch341.ko发现是2013年的文件…(无语～)先把旧驱动删除sudo rm ch341.ko
   找到一篇相似的文章ubuntu20.4系统安装CH340驱动并使用串口调试助手看来不是我一个人遇到相同的问题…
   2.brltty进程占用了串口
   使用sudo dmesg | grep tty命令可以看到
   [ 0.223411] printk: console [tty0] enabled
   [ 44.099146] usb 1-1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
   [ 44.673749] usb 1-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by ch34x while ‘brltty’ sets config #1
   [ 44.675063] ch341-uart ttyUSB0: ch341-uart converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
