The issue is that the generic serial USB devices are not correctly recognized and cannot be used within a docker.
The issue comes from CAF during USB device detection - in the "usb_device_access.pyc" module of CAF.
Tested 3 different devices from a different manufacturer and they exhibit exactly the same behavior.
Gest-OS detects them as USB serial device and correclty assign them to /dev/ttyACM0 of /dev/ttyUSB0.
A native program in the Guest-OS can use them correctly.
Diagnosis:
CAF detect them as serial device (through the scan of /dev/tty*), but when it tries to detect if they are generic devices, it fails and does not set the "is_generic" attributes to True and hence cannot be assign to docker application.

"usbdev": [

If we look into the caf py code, we see that the "is_generic" attribute is set only if 'ID_MODEL' attributes contains the 'serial' string. In our case, 'ID_MODEL' are: FT232R_USB_UART or Dual_RS232-HS or RisingHF_LoRaWAN_Modem Either CAF has an updated version that is much more tolerant to detect serial device, either we need to patch it if possible. A good condition
would be to use "ID_TYPE" and check if it is 'generic'.
Code from here:
detail code of the detection function:
def discover_other_interfaces(self, ttydevices):
log.info('discover other interfaces()')
if not self.is_storage:
log.info('discover other interfaces(2), %s', self.device_path)
if not ttydevices:
return
log.info('discover other interfaces(3), with len: %s',
len(ttydevices))
if self.generic_params is None:
self.generic_params = dict()
usb_details = dict()
for usd in ttydevices:
log.debug('discover other interfaces(4), %s, %s, %s',
usd, self.device_path, usd.get('DEVPATH'))
log.debug('discover other (5), %s', usd.sys_path)
if self.device_path in usd.sys_path and 'serial' in
usd.get('ID_MODEL').lower():
self.is_generic = True
usb_details['device_path'] = usd.get('DEVPATH')
usb_details['device_name'] = usd.get('DEVNAME')
usb_details['vendor'] = usd.get('ID_VENDOR')
usb_details['model'] = usd.get('ID_MODEL')
self.generic_params = usb_details
self.device_name = usd.get('DEVNAME')
log.info('The device %s has serial interface. Updated
