Prepare or Fix Linux for EmuFlight, BetaFlight, CleanFlight, ButterFlight, all the flights

Prepare or Fix Linux for EmuFlight, BetaFlight, CleanFlight, ButterFlight, or any other *Flight

Linux Serial/USB device access

Edit/create udev rules: (use vi, nano, or any text editor)

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/50-myusb.rules

Copy/paste this content and save it: (See STM list here: https://devicehunt.com/view/type/usb/vendor/0483)

# ALL STMicroelectronics devices & DFU
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="****", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="****", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0664"

Then reload the rules:

sudo udevadm control --reload

You must add yourself (username) to plugdev group.

sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER

You must add yourself to the dialout group for tty/serial permissions: (This fixes Failed to open serial port: FILE_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED)

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

You must now logout/login to update user access rights. Afterward, you may run Configurator which should properly connect to flight controllers.


note: some older OS could use GROUP="users", but newer OS seem to not allow it.
