BeagleBone Black: Unable to load g_serial module
I'm using the latest BeagleBone Black image: (http://images.kali.org/kali-2.0.1-bbb.img.xz), however I'm unable insert the g_serial module for some reason:
root@kali:~# modprobe g_serial modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'g_serial': No such device root@kali:~# modinfo g_serial filename: /lib/modules/3.8.13-bone53/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_serial.ko license: GPL author: David Brownell author: Al Borchers description: Gadget Serial v2.4 license: GPL author: Felipe Balbi srcversion: A7058FBDCF3A5E10C147597 depends: libcomposite intree: Y vermagic: 3.8.13-bone53 SMP mod_unload modversions ARMv7 thumb2 p2v8 parm: idVendor:USB Vendor ID (ushort) parm: idProduct:USB Product ID (ushort) parm: bcdDevice:USB Device version (BCD) (ushort) parm: iSerialNumber:SerialNumber string (charp) parm: iManufacturer:USB Manufacturer string (charp) parm: iProduct:USB Product string (charp) parm: use_acm:Use CDC ACM, default=yes (bool) parm: use_obex:Use CDC OBEX, default=no (bool) parm: n_ports:number of ports to create, default=1 (uint) root@kali:~#
Does it work for you if you use "modprobe g_serial stall=0 removable=1 nofua=1" I haven't tried the g_serial driver myself as I normally just use an actual adapter connected to the pins, but I'm looking into this.
root@kali:~# modprobe g_serial stall=0 removable=1 nofua=1 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'g_serial': Invalid argument root@kali:~#
Does this still fail to work for you with the 2.1 release?
The module is no longer present in 2.1:
root@kali:~# modprobe g_serial modprobe: FATAL: Module g_serial not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-armv7-devel-r28 root@kali:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

There is a 2.1.1 image that hasn't been posted yet, unfortunately, and the g_serial module does exist there (just checked). Please try again once it's posted.
Sure, will give it a go once the image is available and I'll report here the status. Thank you.
