Hi everyone
I faced the same issues.
But in the application container, the /dev/serial was not found.
And the udev rules doesn’t work as well.
My device is FIN-CM3, with application running the bullseye image.
This is /dev in application container.
This /dev in host
Hi,
According to this post, the issue of certain devices not showing might be due to a missing package linux-modules-extra-raspi.
Can you share your application Dockerfile?
I have tried about linux-modules-extra-raspi. But it seem don’t help.
Here is my Dockerfile

Hi,
It took a little to get around to checking this.
Your problem is that you’re missing an entry in your Dockerfile: ENV UDEV=1.
As explained here, that environment variable is used to decide whether to mount /dev in your container.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
I have tried with ENV UDEV=1 already.
It’s work only when the new USB to Serial attached.
But the one that already attached before container started, it’s won’t be seen in the container.
Best regards,
Hi,
When I tried it here with my fin-cm3 and a random USB to Serial adapter, it seemed to work fine from container boot. Note that I don’t have your iot-node project, so I skipped that part and jumped straight to a balena-idle instead.
Can you maybe share which serial device specifically gives you this issue?
Something that might also help, is to show us the logging from Host and Container when the device does not get mounted properly.
journalctl --all --merge --no-pager and/or dmesg should be fine.
