Bug #8641
closedUnable to program ft-817 in linux
0%
Description
I'm trying to program a ft-817, Following the directions and getting the following error right after clicking the 'ok' after the instructions.
Any suggestions on how to debug?
@[Errno 2] could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyUSB0'@
I've used chirp just fine with a baofeng radio on the same port.

It looks like the port was either lost or hasn't been released after the previous use (two instances of Chirp running? Anything else accessing this port?). Try to close Chirp, umplug the USB side of the cable, wait a few seconds, start Chirp, plug in cable again and retry.

Hmm tried that, no dice. I did have two instances running. but just tried making sure only one was running and got the same error

Also did a full restart of my laptop and tried again. Nothing.
With my Baofeng UV-5R connected:
@gigawatt@unikitty:/dev$ ls | grep ttyUSB
ttyUSB0

With the Yaesu 817 connected, nothing.
running dmesg -w and plugging it in.

My guess is maybe I need a driver for the usb cable. Going to try this solution, I'll report back: https://www.n4tqu.com/linux/ubuntu-and-yaesu-ft-857/
