[...] I like the organized layout on the older ports utility better. your output looks good - it found everything correctly! both versions posted earlier are just rough hacks to check the detection method, attached below is something more polished: Serial Watcher, Linux 64-bit, 9-jan-2025.zip this is a GUI application, Linux 64-bit. Lazarus/FPC source included. when run you should see a small window containing a list of ports that can be scrolled up and down through with either mouse wheel or up/down arrow keys. as devices are plugged in or unplugged the list updates. you can click on a line to copy it to the clipboard, and there is a right-click menu to clear the list, rescan ports, etc: cheers, rob   :-)
