To assign persistent device names in Ubuntu, use the following to create some udev rules:

 * plug in adapters
 * use `udevadm info -a -n /dev/ttyUSB0`
 * To assign persisten names, put something like this in your `/etc/udev/rules.d/panadboard.rules`. You should check with the command above that the ids are correct :
{{{

# Pandaboard UART-1 (standard I/O)
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", SYMLINK+="panda-uart1", MODE:="0666"

# Pandaboard UART-2 (Debugging, SLIP, ...)
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", SYMLINK+="panda-uart2", MODE:="0666"
}}}
