USB Serial passthrough (Arduino) : Error: not a directory

LXD
1

Hello, I would like to use an bind an Arduino serial interface ( /dev/ttyACM0 ) to a LXD container. I have successfully done the pass-through while the container is running with this command :

sudo lxc config device add dev ttyACM0 unix-char path=/dev/ttyACM0 mode=0777 required=false

I do not care about the permissions yet but I plan to map the dialout group when it will work fine. By the way this works and I can read and write the serial interface inside the container. The problem is if I stop the container I cannot start it again because I get the error :

$ sudo lxc start dev
Error: not a directory
Try lxc info --show-log dev for more info

The info command is not really helpful by the way :

~$ sudo lxc info --show-log dev

Maybe it’s a bug and I should fill one? Maybe I miss something? Thank you for helping!

@brauner any idea? I wonder where the not a directory came from here.

Hi…I have an Arduino Leonardo board that I have been successfully programming, on Windows 7 using IDE 1.6.4. but suddenly it is no longer recognized. It does not appear as a device in the computer device manager and it does not show up as available on a port, any port! The green “power” light comes on and the bootloader makes the “L” light blink after the board is reset, but no communication is possible thru Rx/Tx. I had been using pins 0-5 as outputs to LED’s, pins 6-7 as outputs to drive solenoids, pins 8-12 as inputs from switches.

Hi!

This discussion forum is about system containers, in most cases running under Linux, not Windows.
Do you use either LXD or LXC in your setup?
