/* Serial port name */
* It provides an explanation to workaround a bug related to the serial port's name change in certain Kernels.
== Serial port name bug ==* There is was a bug in serial port name in Linux on Intel(R) Atom(TM) E3XXX platforms* On Linux Mint it comes out in kernels 4.15 to 5.4, and '''fixed starting from kernel 5.8'''
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem/+bug/1769610 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem/+bug/1769610]
* For example, on Linux Mint 19 with kernel 4.15 serial port initially detected as /dev/ttyS6, but then device node is absent in the /dev/ directory
* Depending on Linux distribution and kernel version serial port name can be: /dev/ttyS6 or /dev/ttyHS1 or something similar or just unavailable
* For example, on Linux Mint 19 with kernel 4.15+ serial port initially detected as /dev/ttyS6, but then device node is absent in the /dev/ directory
