Could not acquire the 'org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' service name

Tue Mar 21 17:30:22 UTC 2017

Hello Dan,

I have not noticed that I am getting an e-mail from you. I am sorry for that. Here is the output for the requested command:

root at linaro-alip:~# udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/class/tty/ttymxc2/

Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

  looking at device '/devices/soc0/soc/2100000.aips-bus/21ec000.serial/tty/ttymxc2':

We care more about the parents though, so could you:

udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/class/tty/ttymxc2
