   If I add USB serial adapters they dont work either. There is apparently more to setting up serial on Slitaz than I thought. Any help would be appreciated. Ideally I would prefer to use the onboard Serial as that was the whole point of it all.

   I'd say you can continue here, I don't see the problem.
   let's go step by step:
   the adapter from the kernel is recognized?
   dmesg -c
   clear
   insert the adapter then repeat
   dmesg
   must create the serial port
   at that point if we are there the problem is of java or the program.
   this in my case the messages at insertion:
   root@slitaz:/home/tux$ dmesg
   [ 614.536325] usb 5-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd
   [ 615.304669] usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio
   [615.304688] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device
   [ 615.304827] ftdi_sio 5-1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
   [615.304866] usb 5-1: Detected FT232RL
   [615.308541] usb 5-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
   root@slitaz:/home/tux$

   if it works with usb then it will look for the solution for the notebook serial (see kernel modules). Otherwise it's just a problem of jvm execution.

   Or at least i think so...

   As I imagined, the kernel doesn't recognize it.
   You have to look for which driver is needed. You can try with the id (lsusb) product and vendor and search on the net which chip it mounts, or make and model then linux driver (always on the net).

   The second USB serial device on the second attached image I sent looks like it loaded though, didnt it?

   I didn't see that image (the first one) IMG_20220128_162506.jpg
   Yes it is recognized (Prolific pl2303 > ttyUSB0) and if ADTPro doesn't show the device it's definitely a java problem.

   If you use xterm you can copy the text from the terminal...

    I found my 3rd usb serial adapter. It looks nothing like the other ones I have but apparently its the same exact chipset as it comes up identical to the other. Both of these work fine on other computers so I know theywork (with adtpro in windows)

    Thats funny I am trying to upload another attachment and it is saying the limit size is 100KB. When did that happen, I was able to upload yesterday fine.

    Simple consideration: notebook with rs232 > surely from several years ago > so only 32bit > a test with live 32bit

    ./adtpro.sh
    ADTPro Server version 2.1.0

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load the jssc library: Couldn't load library library jssc

    same problem as yours: no existing serial port...

    I repeat which java version you have?
    java -version

    what version of slitaz do you use (as i know for now no official version has full 64bit support)?

    And Laptop model?

    My apologies for the long overdue response. Busy with work I had to put this problem on the backburner.
    My computer is a Dell Latitude CPXJ, I have been using Slitaz on it since early version 3.0.
    It Currently is running SLitaZ 4.0. I cannot get a newer version of Slitaz (or any other distro) to install on this system. ITs configured the way I need it for the most part and everything other than this issue is OK. Until recently that is, None of the Web Browsers Work anymore. I get TLS errors on everything now.

    Back to the problem at hand I am running Java version "1.7.0_45"
    Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 24.45-b18)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

    I did some testing and it seems to be the lack of the libjssc.so library.
    It's not available in the repositories, so either compile it from source, or try this one I compiled.
    https://disk.yandex.com/d/JDPG0DDr84iOXw
    here the sources
    https://github.com/java-native/jssc

    With live 4.0 and java jdk-8u202 everything seems to work.
    I didn't have your version of java.
    Here is the list of commands I gave in the terminal

    Tested on SliTaz live 4.0

    wget http://85-207-0-21.static.bluetone.cz/java/1.8.0_202/jdk-8u202-linux-i586.tar.gz
    tar -xvf jdk-8u202-linux-i586.tar.gz
    download from the link jssc and copy it in /usr/lib/
    su
    Password:
    cp libjssc.so /usr/lib/
    mkdir /usr/lib/jvm
    cp -ar jdk1.8.0_202 /usr/lib/jvm/
    rm -rf jdk1.8.0_202* <<< optional remove source
    ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_202/jre/bin/java /usr/bin/java
    java -version
    java version "1.8.0_202"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)

    exit

    goto on folder ADTPro-2.1.0 and then
    ./adtpro.sh
    executed without errors and shows the serial ports

    that's all!

    Ok So I downloaded the files and uncompressed the tarball.
    However when I type: cp libjssc.so /usr/lib/

    I get cp: can't stat 'libjssc.so': No such file or directory

    I didnt go any further.
