Hi,

I'am using NEO Plus 2. The board is using Linux kernel 4.14.0.

I need to use CP210x usb-serail adapter with this board to interface some device.

However, this board does not have cp210x.ko driver install by default.

I tried to compile, but found I can not install linux-headers-4.14.0 for this board， as it is not included in the software repository.

Can you help to compile a cp210x.ko for me? Or please tell me how to install the required linux-headers-4.14.0 package?

Thanks,
Cheng

Try Armbian perhaps? This probably works out of the box. If not:

Have you tried to install the needed linux headers using the metapackages?



should search for the correct Veriosn of the linux-headers package.

Alternatively you could do



which also should install the correct header files for your installed kernel.
In both cases you should do an initial apt update!



both options are working flawless on my nanoPi Neo Plus2.


best regards.
