On my Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 5.19, the CX serial port of my 6300F is detected without any issues or additional drivers, and from 'dmesg' I can see it got assigned /dev/ttyACM0.
When I use 'screen' to connect, I have access to the console port:
% sudo screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
<enter>
CX6300F login:

Subject: Aruba CX and USB-C Console Drivers
I have a need to access my Aruba CX 6200/6300 switches via console for OOBM from an Ubuntu server machine. I have found very little information about drivers for the USB-C console access on CX switches for Linux.
The vendor and device ID information for the USB-C console on CX 6200/6300 is:
03f0:013f HP, Inc HPN Serial Port
Can anyone point me in the right direction for where to obtain the drivers?
I would also be interested in MacOS drivers as I'm sure it will come in handy in the future.
Thank you.
