My problem: When I plug my Serial to USB cable, the rpi3 don’t even create a ttyUSB0 device. What is going on ? How could I open a serial communication in python ?

What to do if Linux cant find ttyUSB?

In particular disabling the kernel from using the serial port for terminal use this would seem to apply: Open a terminal on the Raspberry, or connect to Raspberry Pi through SSH. Make a backup of the /boot/cmdline.txt file. sudo cp /boot/cmdline.txt /boot/cmdline_backup.txt

Where do I find / dev / tty on my Raspberry Pi?

In one of the last lines of output normally you will see the dev/ttyxxx to which it is attached. If you’ve only got one device attached, it’ll most likely always get /dev/ttyUSB0. Things get more complex when you have multiple adapters, and then the /dev/serial/by-id/* aliases become more useful.

Why does my Raspberry Pi not connect to USB?

My goal is to be able to open a serial communication between this device and my rpi3 using python and the pyserial library. (on windows everything works fine, I open a COMx port and I can then communicate with the device) My problem: When I plug my Serial to USB cable, the rpi3 don’t even create a ttyUSB0 device. What is going on ?

Which is the new serial port for Raspberry Pi 3?

Then you can use /dev/ttyUSB0 as your new serial port. (edit) The UART to USB dongle should have TTL voltage levels on UART side (either 3.3V or 5V, depending on the “Another device”). When changing from master to client is usually refereed to as OTG. Since Raspberry Pi 3 have a built in USB hub it cant be a USB client.

Can a Raspberry Pi 3 be a USB client?

Since Raspberry Pi 3 have a built in USB hub it cant be a USB client. If you use a Raspberry Pi Zero (W) it supports “USB OTG” with the “USB Gadget”, it will show it self as a Serial USB device, see ref. 2 and 3 below.

Can a Raspberry Pi Zero show itself as a USB device?

If you use a Raspberry Pi Zero (W) it supports “USB OTG” with the “USB Gadget”, it will show it self as a Serial USB device, see ref. 2 and 3 below. Thanks for contributing an answer to Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange!

Do you need to disable BT to use Raspberry Pi?

Since UART was dominated by BT. You should disable BT first theoretically! I have the same problem. Nothing of above looks work. Most of references on the internet assume that you use raspbian.

Are there any TTY drivers for Raspberry Pi?

NOT all USB devices/drivers are “tty”. Unplug the device, list /dev then plug in and see what has changed. You need to load the ftdi-sio module manually with modprobe and specifying vendor and product id, or follow the guidelines in their manual at

Where is nobtcmd.txt in Raspberry Pi firmware?

I found that it includes the file syscfg.txt which includes nobtcfg.txt (both are located in /boot/firmware ). In there it says that the bluetooth module is disabled already (nobt = no bluetooth). In the nobtcmd.txt (included in nobtcfg.txt and also mentioned in config.txt) the output of the serial console is set up.
