add Linux instructions

Open maxi4329 opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

This adds installation help for Linux, that only show up when a Linux user agent is detected.

Testing

These instructions have been tested using an ESP32 (CP2102) on Debian, Arch Linux and Fedora.

The lsusb command (used to verify whether the USB cable supports data transfer) has also been tested with and without the drivers.

I like the general idea, however at the moment it's very in depth and only for 2 possible chipsets.

I would say USB Serial is very well supported in most distros and has been for a very long time, so the most likely issue a user is going to face are permissions not drivers, so I think this should be listed first and also mention ttyACMx You might also mention using dmesg or journalctl -f so users can see what device was assigned as lsusb does not show the port name assigned
