tokenworker Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) New EISY user I'm upgrading from 994 to EISY The existing PLM is working with my old 994 - PLM info/status 3c.48.85 v9E / connected But when I connect it with a correctly wired FDTI USB cabled (pins 1 orange RX, 7Black GND, 8 yellow TX) - the eisy PLM info/status 0.0.0 V0 / Not connected I'm wondering if the problems I had upgrading the packages on my EISY has messaged up the OS. I had to use SSH commands to update the packages so now I'm trying to use SSH to see the FDTI chip in the USB-Serial cable. Using Putty - SSH, I see the FDTI adapter is recognized by the EISY: ugen0.2: <FTDI USB-RS232 Cable> at usbus0 uftdi0: <FTDI USB-RS232 Cable, class 0/0, rev 2.00/6.00, addr 3> on usbus0, But I see the FDTI USB-RS232 UART is disconnected: ugen0.2: <FTDI FT232R USB UART> at usbus0 (disconnected) Should the FDTI FT232R USB UART at usbus0 be disconnected? I've not played around enough with this system to know - nor do I really know much about this OS. Any help is appreciated. Below is the SSH session [admin@eisy ~]$ dmesg | grep -i usb xhci0: <XHCI (generic) USB 3.0 controller> mem 0x6001100000-0x600110ffff at devi ce 20.0 on pci0 usbus0 on xhci0 usbus0: 5.0Gbps Super Speed USB v3.0 ugen0.1: <Intel XHCI root HUB> at usbus0 uhub0 on usbus0 uhub0: <Intel XHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 3.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus0 ugen0.2: <FTDI FT232R USB UART> at usbus0 Root mount waiting for: usbus0 CAM ugen0.3: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0026> at usbus0 uftdi0: <FTDI FT232R USB UART, class 0/0, rev 2.00/6.00, addr 1> on usbus0 ubt0: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0026, class 224/1, rev 2.01/0.02, addr 2> on usbu s0 ugen0.2: <FTDI FT232R USB UART> at usbus0 (disconnected) ugen0.2: <FTDI USB-RS232 Cable> at usbus0 uftdi0: <FTDI USB-RS232 Cable, class 0/0, rev 2.00/6.00, addr 3> on usbus0 [admin@eisy ~]$ Edited March 10 by tokenworker correct plm model number
paulbates Posted March 10 Posted March 10 I had problems connecting to my PLM when I first set my eisy up. I had to unplug/replug the PLM, wait 10 seconds, and then unplug/replug the eisy a couple of times. Then it connected and it has been fine since
tokenworker Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 (edited) I I power cycled the EISY and PLM and moved the USB FDTI Serial cable adapter to the back USB Port of the EISY. Now when I execute same command, I don't see "disconnected" so I'm guessing the USB ports on the EISY only check for devices during power up? (at least I don’t see disconnected). However, When I query the PLM using Tools->PLM status I see “0.0.0 v0 / Not Connected” I'm tempted to buy new PLM but this PLM still seems to communicate with my 944 box Tools->PLM status I see “3c.48.85 V9E / Connected” So it appears the PLM is still OK. What should I try next? I could hook up a scope to the TX serial lines - to see if the FDTI chip is sending data or if the PLM is trying to do the same. Thoughts? Here is the [admin@eisy ~]$ dmesg | grep -i usb xhci0: <XHCI (generic) USB 3.0 controller> mem 0x6001100000-0x600110ffff at device 20.0 on pci0 usbus0 on xhci0 usbus0: 5.0Gbps Super Speed USB v3.0 ugen0.1: <Intel XHCI root HUB> at usbus0 uhub0 on usbus0 uhub0: <Intel XHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 3.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus0 Root mount waiting for: usbus0 CAM ugen0.2: <FTDI USB-RS232 Cable> at usbus0 ugen0.3: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0026> at usbus0 uftdi0: <FTDI USB-RS232 Cable, class 0/0, rev 2.00/6.00, addr 1> on usbus0 ubt0: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0026, class 224/1, rev 2.01/0.02, addr 2> on usbus0 Edited March 11 by tokenworker
tokenworker Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 (edited) Update - Problem Resolved. I had two issues. 1.) The EISY seems to require a reboot - or better yet, power cycle - to recognize the USB FDTI Serial cable AND connect a serial port. During my early attempts to connect the PLM to the EISY, I was not power cycling after inserting the USB Serial PLM cable - and it looked like the EISY was seeing via SSH "dmesg | grep -i usb" commands but there was a message about being disconnected. See below session with disconnected in red 2.) I had a DIY FDTI Serial PLM cable. I tried to save some money, but I spent a lot more of my time and probably should have just purchased the cable from the start. Thanks to UD tech support for confirming my EISY was operating correctly. Now I need to complete the migration process. Its all downhill from here, right? What could go wrong I believe if the (disconnected) message shows in response to this command, power cycle the EISY to get it to properly set up the FDTI device and open the UART (com/serial) port.
