Sorry, can't help with this, I'm not using VirtualBox

Hi - I'm trying to add a Sonoff ZBDongle-E to my Terra-Master T6-423. I installed Kernal Module, but don't know which .ko modules to enable for it. Also, once I enable them, where will I see the USB? Thanks for the help

I see you've sorted this now by enabling the cp210x driver (which also worked for me), though I think the issue you're having with VirtualBox is more to do with the version TOS is using - which I hear is fixed in TOS v6.

That being said, I ran the kernel module list through Gemini and got this explanation of all the modules in the config list.

Code: Select all

Bluetooth Drivers

btbcm.ko: Handles Broadcom Bluetooth chipsets.
btintel.ko: Controls Intel Bluetooth devices.
btrtl.ko: Provides support for Realtek Bluetooth devices.
hci_uart.ko: Implements the core HCI (Host Controller Interface) protocol over a serial UART connection. This is the fundamental protocol for Bluetooth communication.
hci_vhci.ko: A virtual HCI driver, often used for testing or communication between virtual machines and the host's Bluetooth hardware.
bcm203x.ko: Likely a more specialized driver for older Broadcom Bluetooth chips.
Class Drivers

usblp.ko: Enables communication with printers over a USB connection (USB printer class).
cdc_acm.ko: Provides an interface to devices that use the CDC-ACM (Communications Device Class - Abstract Control Model). This is used with a wide variety of modems and serial devices over USB.
USB Serial Drivers

ch341.ko: Driver for CH341 USB-to-Serial converter chips (commonly found in inexpensive adapters).
cp210x.ko: Supports Silicon Labs CP210x family of USB-to-Serial converter chips.
