Need Help Connecting to Oceanic Atom 3.1

[Mark Phillips]

I was able to connect my Oceanic Atom 3.1 to an older version of subsurface on a different computer running Ubuntu 18.04 using a USB cable. However, on my new shiny laptop and Ubuntu 22.04 and the same cable, I can't seem to get it to connect.

This is the error from dmesg:

457691.690966] usb 2-3.1: USB disconnect, device number 9
[457723.926895] usb 2-3.1: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd

[457724.069583] BPF:
[457724.069587] failed to validate module [usbserial] BTF: -22

Everytime I connect, it picks a different device number - I started at 8 and now I am at 12. The Atom 3.1 automatically goes into PC mode when I connect the USB cable to my computer. I added myself to the dialout and tty groups as stated in the Appendix regarding downloading log files (I did an ls -l /dev/ to see the groups for all the ttys and ttySs). I tried connecting to /dev/ttyS9 and /dev/tty9 in subsurface and I got the error message: Unable to open /dev/ttyS9 and the red banner at the bottom of the screen that says unsupported operation.

I tried googling "failed to validate module [usbserial] BTF: -22" and didn't find anything that looks useful.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be great!

This is Ubuntu 2022.4 refusing to load that module for a BTF ("bpf
type format") verification reason.

This typically is because the module and the kernel aren't from the same build.

I assume you didn't build your own kernel or modules, and you probably
need to just raise this as an Ubuntu bug.

And if you *did* happen build your own kernel, you need to make sure
that you also build and install the modules to match.

Linus,

Thanks for the info....you are correct, I did not build my own kernel.

Does that error message have anything to do with not being able to download my dive logs from the Atom 3.1?

I checked the older computer/Ubuntu version for how the Atom 3.1 connects, and it uses /dev/ttyUSB0. However, I don't have any ttyUSBs in /dev. Do I need to create one? How would I do that?

Thanks,

Mark

Yes. Ubuntu seems to refuse to load the usbserial module due to some
Ubuntu-specific check.

Not having ttyUSBx is a direct result of the usbserial module not loading.

I do not know what the Ubuntu rules are, but it may be just a mistake
in their kernel, or it may be that they have some extra rules to not
load "untrusted" devices, and that Oceanic cable isn't on their
trusted list.

You really do need to ask on Ubuntu forums.
