Find which TTY device connected over USB

rated 0 times [ 12] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 199187 / 2 Years ago, tue, august 16, 2022, 4:01:56

I am doing android development. The adb ppp command to switch back to the USB cable instead of tcp/ip says it needs the tty as a parameter.

I have googled for this and found lots of references to solutions that don't work. A lot of those point to ttyUSB0, which doesn't seem to exist on my system.

I am running Ubuntu Desktop 12.04. How can I find my tty for my android phone?

Thanks.

Store list of devices before pluging in Android

ls /dev/ > dev_list_1.txt

Then run this after you plug it

ls /dev/ | diff --suppress-common-lines -y - dev_list_1.txt

The result should be something like this:

libmtp-2-1.2                                              <

sdb                                                       <

serial                                                    <

sg2                                                       <

ttyACM0                                                   <

Or even monitor for change

while sleep 1 ; do clear ; ls /dev/ | diff --suppress-common-lines -y dev_list_1.txt ; done
