Comment:
Yes, we have drivers for most USB serial adapters including FTDI,
Prolific, Silicon Labs, and standard USB-CDC. And no, it is not
automatically possible to use these in the kernel debugger just because we
have drivers. The USB stack isn't fully running when in KDL and we don't
want it to be.
Also, why do you add this comment here? This has nothing to do with this
ticket.
Finally, I should add that FTDI reverted that update to their drivers and
won't be doing this anymore. The driver now only refuses to work with the
fake devices but let them continue to work on other systems. Since there
is a simple way to fix the "bricked" devices, let's not hack our driver.
Closing this ticket.
