Hello, I’m using a JetPack 6.2 Orin Nano Super. I want to use the Prolific PL2303 USB UART converter, but I’ve learned that the driver isn’t included with the device. If I edit and recompile the kernel, can I integrate it into a my previously backed up image, or do I need to perform a fresh installation with the new kernel? Thank you.

Hi ragony2001,

Are you using the devkit or custom board for Orin Nano?

Yes, you have to recompile kernel to enable that support.
You can simply build it as the kernel module and put it on your device and load it manually.

Hi @KevinFFF I use devkit. How can I put and load manually? Can you give me instructions?

Please add CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_PL2303=m in kernel config(defconfig) and refer to the steps in Kernel Customization — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide to build kernel.
