I have a smart card reader with FTDI chip and doesn't connect/work. My board is Orange PI PC, root@OrangePI:~# cat /etc/debian_version

7.8

root@OrangePI:~# lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.

Distributor ID: Debian

Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy)

Release: 7.8

Codename: wheezy

I have tried to put the drivers from FTDI but wit no luck, i get the same message, there is something wrong with the Orange PI PC is not compatible with USB FTDI drivers?

Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.4.39/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko: Invalid module format

When i type: " lsusb " i see the device

Bus 007 Device 003: ID 0403:6010 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT2232C Dual USB-UART/FIFO IC

When i'm traing to acces the device :

(reader) NO1- [mouse] ERROR: Opening device /dev/ttyUSB0 (errno=19 No such device)

Invalid module format message means usually wrong platform/abi. If this driver module is open source you could try to build it for ARMv7.

I really don't know how to build for armv7 this FTDI driver.

Get sources and read README file. There should be some build instructions somewhere, perhaps Google could help?
