I have and update about how to create UDEV rules for devices that doesn’t have serial number. I bought this serial to USB adapters from a company called prolific and tried to create UDEV rules for it like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb-serial", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:1d.0", SYMLINK+="cyberglove.right"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb-serial", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:1a.0", SYMLINK+="cyberglove.left"
But I couldn’t, because that ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:1a.0" is not the correct serial to be used in UDEV rules.
There is a solution here if you’re using only one device:
# single blue USB serial adapter, prolific devices don't seem to have a serial number that I can find
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", DRIVERS=="pl2303", SYMLINK+="ttyUSB_panda"
But in my case there is two serial to USB adapters, one for each glove.
There is one workaround for it too. Here, they use the position on the USB hub to create a NAME tag:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", KERNELS=="1-8.1.5", NAME="ttyUSB0"
I only change NAME and use SYMLINK instead:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", KERNELS=="1-1.3", SYMLINK+="ttyUSB.cyberglove.left"
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", KERNELS=="1-1.4", SYMLINK+="ttyUSB.cyberglove.right"
In this way you can use both adapters at the same time defining tty links to it. You only have to keep the device always at the same USB port or change the rule.
BONUS: How to reload UDEV rules without reboot:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger
Plug and unplug the device.
