USB CDC-ACM device under FreeBSD and HPS stack

[Xiaofan Chen]

Today is my FreeBSD USB day. :-)
So I am attaching various USB device to FreeBSD and see if
they work or not.

I have two USB to serial converter (one based on FTDI and one
based on Prolific). I have also two demo boards who poses as
USB CDC-ACM device. One is the Olimex LPC-P2148 demo board
with the lpcusb open source stack. The other is a Infineon
U-Light stick based on Silicon Labs CP2101.

Somehow they are all recognized as ugen device and not
usb serial device.

After loading ucom/uplcom/ufdti and unplug/plug the two real USB-Serial
converter, they seems to work fine.

How do I automated this process?

But loading ucycom failed.

[mcuee at freebsd7 ~]$ sudo kldload ucycom
kldload: can't load ucycom: No such file or directory

As for the generic CDC-ACM device (the Olimex LPC-P2148), I do not know
how to load the necessary kernel module to get it work as a usb-serial
device.

Under Linux, there is a generic cdc-acm device support.

Any tips? Thanks in advance.
