Determining USB device port












2















lsusb | grep UART


returns:



Bus 001 Device 006: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.
CP210x UART Bridge / myAVR mySmartUSB light


How can I confirm that the device is at: /dev/ttyUSB0 without unplugging the USB device?



ls /dev/tty* | grep USB


returns /dev/ttyUSB0 only when the device is plugged in, which seems to confirm the USB port location. I am seeking a confirmation process does not involve unplugging the USB device.



Update:



the USB device is not a disk: it is a ESP32 microcontroller

          In a terminal, type this command: udevadm info --name=/dev/ttyUSB0 --attribute-walk
          You should have enough information to identify your device.
