Remapping udev rules to something intuitive

Reference: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/66901/how-to-bind-usb-device-under-a-static-name

Commands

  • lsusb gives the info of USB device as XXXX:YYYY where XXXX is vendor_id and YYYY is product_id

  • Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules as

    • ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="XXXX", ATTRS{idProduct}=="YYYY", SYMLINK+="drive_arduino"

To get more info about the USB device you may use these commands -

  • lsusb -v -d XXXX:YYYY or
  • udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB0)
