    What is the log you are getting in terminal while you plugging your FTDI module into BBB ?

    May be you happened to mistake while building linux kernel with FTDI driver. after menuconfig if you run the defaultconfig command it will overwrite your old menuconfig hence your FTDI config will lose. 

    Make sure that FTDI is enable in /kernel/.config before you issuing the make uimage- command 

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Did you get the USB to Serial connection on the BBB running Android JB to work?

    I am trying to do a similar thing. I have compiled Richard Nelson's kernel with the USB support and used Andrew Henderson's pre-built image. I have a USB hub plugged into the BBB. The mouse & keyboard work fine but not my USB to Serial cable. I am porting an existing Android app to the BBB.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, Suzanne
