Hello,

I'm trying to use the USB port as serial.

And this error message I receive when trying to activate the application with the JSON file :

ioxclient app activate lxcusbread --payload dev_map.json

Currently active profile :  IR809-4G

Command Name: application-activate

Payload file : dev_map.json. Will pass it as application/json in request body..

for USB storage and serial device, please refer to Cisco DevNet: IOx - Docs

Seems that you're missing the 'function' key inside 'devices', in package.yaml.

'function': is a mandatory field used for describing the usb as 'storage' or 'serial'

In your code, for example:

{

      "resources": {

              "profile": "c1.small",

              "cpu": "200",

              "memory": "64",

              "disk" : "100",

              "network": [{"interface-name": "eth0", "network-name": "iox-bridge0"}],

              "devices": [{"type": "usbdev", "function": "storage", "label": "IR8x9_USB_label", "device-id": "/dev/bus/usb/002/003"}]

      }

}
