I've got an infinity usb phoenix with pl2303 running just fine on cuberevo 9000hd. I'd need two, but can get only one running. First one goes in /dev/ttyUSB0 but there is no device for second pl2303 adapter. Even mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 doesn't work.

your are using sbox or enigma2?

try this , and post your output,
external powered usb hub is required..
Code: 
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1
insmod /lib/modules/usbserial.ko
insmod /lib/modules/pl2303.ko
ls /dev/ | grep ttyUSB*
dmesg

Hi k2k2000. Yes, i'm using e2. I have powered usb-hub and 2 phoenixes. Problem is even if I get the /dev/ttyUSB1 created, nothing gets read from the device by newcs. Both readers work as /dev/ttyUSB0 if I use them one at the time, but what's the point in that when I have 2 cards to use.

Also, you wrote wrong. /dev/ttyUSB1 is created with
Code: 
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
, /dev/ttyUSB2 would be
Code: 
mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
, right?

@SalvaMan Just insert both modules, only the right one will be used.
Code: 
insmod /lib/modules/usbserial.ko
insmod /lib/modules/pl2303.ko
insmod /lib/modules/ftdi_sio.ko
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0

@tetra Could you please post your newcs.xml file?

yes correct .
Code: 
major number 188 , device type [B]c[/B]haracter
        0 = /dev/ttyUSB0 First USB serial converter
        1 = /dev/ttyUSB1 Second USB serial converter
should be
Code: 
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1

Thanks, good point. But it still doesn't work :(

newcs doesn't even try to read from /dev/ttyUSB1, as the led's don't blink on the phoenix.

HAHA! I tried with another usb-hub and now both phoenixes work ;)

I think the other hub's power source is perhaps too weak to drive 2 phoenixes and a usb-stick.

Happy happy joy joy!

[edit]
So, all in all, what went wrong in first place:
- duplicate port-number
- probably too weak usb-hub.

Fixing these 2 steps proves cuberevo 9000hd pvr can run 2 phoenix-readers with newcs 1.66 ;)

What does the above mean and where should I enter it?
I have the Violet card reader and D-Link DUB-H4 USB HUB, I have edited my newcs.xml file the same as tetra but does not work I can only assume it has something to do with these two lines:
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
but I dont know where to put them...Thanks Montyboy.
PS..I am new to editing can you help me in simple terms...Thanks

Hi

mknod lines go into /var/config/rc.modules

Line should be there already, just remove the # comment from the lines mknod and chmod.

Keep in mind, you also need the usb-to-serial adapter. It has usb-connector in one end and a rs232-connector at the other, like this one

Thank you tetra for your reply.
My rc.modules has now been edited to this:

#!/bin/sh

MODDIR=/lib/modules

echo "init phoenix"
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1
insmod /lib/modules/usbserial.ko
insmod /lib/modules/pl2303.ko
ls /dev/ | grep ttyUSB*
dmesg

echo "init internal slot card"
/var/bin/sci-ng.sh restart

echo "init cifs"
insmod $MODDIR/cifs.ko

#echo "init ntfs"
# insmod $MODDIR/ntfs.ko

Is this correct?
This card reader always worked with NLB images so I know its not the card reader. Hope you can help me a bit more. Thanks Montyboy.

@Montyboy
you don 't need ttyUSB1 ,if you have single phoenix.
i have this config on /var/config/rc.modules
Code: 
#!/bin/sh

MODDIR=/lib/modules

echo "init phoenix"
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
insmod $MODDIR/usbserial.ko
insmod $MODDIR/pl2303.ko

#echo "init internal slot card"
#/var/bin/sci-ng.sh restart

echo "init cifs" 
 insmod $MODDIR/cifs.ko

#echo "init ntfs"

you can use the same newcs.xml that worked for you on nlb.
+make sure you have newcs in /var/bin and not /var/cardserver

Thanks again for yor reply, I have removed newcs from /var/cardserver and replaced it in /var/bin I have now put my newcs.xml that worked in NLB image, but when I try to activate newcs in the menu it says: newcs is not installed.
Is there anything else I can try, or shall I just get the hammer:eek::eek: Montyboy

think i found your problem ;try this
copy back newcs to /var/cardserver/
+delete script /var/bin/sci-ng.sh
to prevent plugin cardpanel to kill newcs .
