Why does Speedgoat target not recognize usb device (xsens MTi-680G RS232 converter)?

I want to read gnss data from my xsens MTi-680G using the RS232 converter connected in the Speedgoat usb port.

I have tried all the usb ports available on the Speedgoat but none of them seems working.

I have followed the guide: https://it.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2078751-why-is-my-usb-device-not-recognized-by-the-speedgoat-target-computer-with-an-error-saying-usb-seri but the

ls /dev

command doesn't show me any dev/serusbx device connected and so the Simulink model build fails with error:

Unable to load 'prova_gnss' on target computer 'TargetPC1': prova_gnss:INITIALIZE ERROR:USB serial port X error: No such file or directory (X number of usb device)

How could I overcome this problem ?

Thank you in advance

Hi Pietro,

To troubleshoot the issue of not being able to read GNSS data from an XSens MTi-680G via an RS232 converter connected to a Speedgoat USB port, follow these steps:

• Ensure the XSens device, RS232 to USB converter, and Speedgoat are correctly connected and powered.
• Check if your Speedgoat model supports USB devices and ensure the firmware/software is up to date.
• Use 'dmesg' and 'lsusb' commands to see if the device is detected at the hardware level.
• Review and adjust the Speedgoat configuration to enable and properly set up USB ports.
• Confirm compatibility of your MATLAB/Simulink versions with the Speedgoat and XSens device. Ensure the MATLAB support package for Speedgoat is installed.
• Test a direct serial connection if available, or try a different RS232 to USB converter.
