Hi all,
Has anyone been able to get these two to work together?
I have the Arduino plugged into the Beagle Board using a USB Hub and I
installed the ftdi drivers using opkg but I am still not seeing any
ttyUSB in my /dev directory!
Please help,
Will

And no ttyACM as well?

I have been working on this type of thing also. I'm using a Sanguino
(super Arduino with more I/O and second UART). I have written code to
allow it to be a serial slave to a BeagleBoard or other controller. This
code would also work great on a Trainer Board from TinCanTools. Right
now, I can read up to six sensors and send those readings out the UART.
The BeagleBoard or other controller would send ASCII text commands to
the Arduino/Sanguino and receive data back.

I have not had a successful connection either. I suspect we might have
to use the USB OTG port on the BeagleBoard for this to work right. I
don't have a 5V wallwart with a connector that fits the 3 Port/Ethernet
USB Hub I have. I think the Hub needs to be powered by a wallwart and
then it would power the BeagleBoard. I believe the Hub requires more
power than the BeagleBoard can supply, even when it is powered by a 5V
wallwart.

you may need to manually insmod/depmod the ftdi_sio driver. once you
know that it is installed you should be able to check the /proc/bus/
usb/devices entry and see which devices have enumerated. depending on
what kind of root files system you are using (sounds like you are
using angstrom), the dev file system should create the matching ttyUSB
entry. i've hacked up a light version of avrdude for use on the
beagle:
it is easier to cross compile and is designed to communicated via a
serial interface to an avr running the arduino bootload.
