I have an arduino nano clone with a CH340 serial chip. It appears in lsusb as QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter
and when it connects I can see it in dmesg with the following logging:
[ 31.251098] vhci_hcd vhci_hcd.0: pdev(0) rhport(0) sockfd(3)[ 31.251544] vhci_hcd vhci_hcd.0: devid(65541) speed(2) speed_str(full-speed)[ 31.252004] vhci_hcd vhci_hcd.0: Device attached[ 31.538489] vhci_hcd: vhci_device speed not set[ 31.608492] usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using vhci_hcd[ 31.698522] vhci_hcd: vhci_device speed not set[ 31.768510] usb 1-1: SetAddress Request (2) to port 0[ 31.812328] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1a86, idProduct=7523, bcdDevice= 2.63[ 31.812734] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0[ 31.813059] usb 1-1: Product: USB2.0-Serial
But there is no /dev/ttyUSB*.
Thanks.
