ttySX node missing

[ldesroches]

• Your Windows build number: version 10.0.19041.207

• What you're doing and what's happening:
  I have two machines with WSL, a professional laptop with WSL and an old Windows 10 build which saw my FTDI cable. I have my personal computer with WSL2 which stops ttyS node at 3 while my FTDI is COM5.

ls /dev -l | grep ttyS
crw------- 1 root root 4, 64 Apr 15 19:20 ttyS0 crw------- 1 root root 4, 65 Apr 15 19:20 ttyS1 crw------- 1 root root 4, 66 Apr 15 19:20 ttyS2 crw------- 1 root root 4, 67 Apr 15 19:20 ttyS3

I tried to manually create the node for ttyS5 but I am still not able to get logs from my board through the FTDI cable.

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

On my other machine, I have up to 106 ttyS nodes and I also noticed they belong to the dialout group and not the root one.

Unfortunately, I didn't find a similar case... Any hint?

Thanks
