I'm having problem to get serial connection using RS232 (to USB) and picocom of wsl. From Windows I can see that my RS232 is using COM24 and from lsub on wsl I can also see my RS232. However, if I do ls /dev/tty*, I can see /dev/tty[0...63] and /dev/ttyS[0..3], but neither /dev/ttyS24 nor /dev/ttyUSB24.

I checked with stty -F /dev/ttySx -a, but all visible ttyS gave me stty: /dev/ttySx: Input/output error

Does anyone have any idea how to figure out which dev is mapped to my RS232?

On a side note: I also tried with a UART board and it does give me a serial communication, in this case, wsl2 maps the UART to /dev/ttyUSB0 although it's identified as COM6 on Windows.

  • A USB-to-RS232 adapter would have a device node named /dev/ttyUSBn. But before that device node can be created, the adapter has to be properly recognized and its driver installed. Look for messages pertaining to those events in the syslog, e.g. use the dmesg command after plugging in the adapter.

  • @sawdust Unfortunately I don't get anything from dmesg
