How Linux Maps an ESP32 USB-UART Bridge to /dev/ttyUSB0 on Fedora

An ESP32 development board connected through a CH341 USB-to-UART bridge does not appear on Fedora as a Windows-style COM port. Linux binds the USB interface to a serial driver and exposes a character device such as /dev/ttyUSB0. A working connection can produce this kernel message: usb 5-1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0 That line confirms USB enumeration, binding to the ch341 serial driver, and creation of ttyUSB0. The path used by a flasher or serial monitor is therefore /dev/ttyUSB0.
