You need to add driver to kernel like you tried here…why a new topic?

Adding usb2serial module kernel 4.14.80

Hello I have a BPI R2 and i am using 4.14.80-bpi-r2-main kernel. I want to use FT4232 but when i plug in the ftdi i only see usb device, I could’nt see usb to serial i search about this problem and in the blog i saw there is no usb module in the kernel. Could you help me for adding usb module? I tried sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) but i got error of Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-m…

I upload image deb_strech4.14.80 to my sd card then I insert SD card to my banana pi after boot I follows steps in your repo https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14 , I select FT232 and pl2303 driver in config menu and i select SD card . I did not got error. but i did not work.

you have to change uEnv.txt to your new file (kernel=filename)

you should at least see your new kernel-version when execute “uname -r”

compiling on r2 is terrible slow so compile on x64 linux (e.g. ubuntu) and install to card

i’m not sure install works when compiling on device itself (compilation should)
