Why are

I can't create links to/from nodes in the City of Things testbed in JFed.

How do I know which serial interface (/dev/ttyUSBX) is connected to what device?

If you use one of the 'CoT' Disk Images, symlinks are automatically created in '/dev' that will allow you to identify each serial port:

  • OpenUSB: /dev/ttyOPENUSB
  • EZRUSB@433 MHz: /dev/ttyEZR433
  • EZRUSB@868 MHz: /dev/ttyEZR868
  • EFM32GG+LoRa: /dev/ttyLORA

By referring to these symlinks instead of the /dev/ttyUSBX-devices directly you can be sure that you are talking to the correct device.

If you are not using one of the 'CoT' images, you can add the necessary udev-rules needed to to do by copying /etc/udev/rules.d/50-persistent-usb.rules from one of the 'CoT' images to your own image.

How can I flash/erase the EZRUSB devices ?

How can I flash/erase the LoRa device ?
