Rasberry Pi  Raspbian OS

So this relates to the Moonlanders,  but is more of a Raspbian question

When I reboot my pi,  it reassigns all USBs   ttyUSB0 becomes 2,   4 becomes 8.....etc....

I am using 4 v1.2 Mooonlanders and 8 v2.0 Moonlanders,  so I need to specify the USB in order to get them to work with the correct bfgminer.

Any idea on how I can lock them down to their # even after reboot?

This problem may or may not continue once jstefanop enables the new bfgminer to run both,  but I'm guessing I'll still need to identify by ttyUSB#

I haven't tried this with the moonlanders yet, but I know when using bfg with older gridseeds you could call them out by serial number.  When you go to manage devices in bfg you can find the serial number of the device (It is different than what is found on the sticker).  Give that a shot, I'm very curious to see if it works out.  I don't have any syntax examples with me.  It's been a good long while since I've used a gridseed but I'll try to post one up after I get home from work tonight.

You can also call out the devices by usb bus instead of port.  Not sure if the rpi has more than one usb bus though.
