I have a RevolutionPi running Debian, a 7 port USB hub and 3 USB NFC reader. Now my problem is that I need static USB ports so they always initialized in the same order.

There are several sources like:

Link-1 or Link-2

Which tell me how to do exactly that but I still can't get it to work because there are some differences in my specific case.

1. all USB ports of my USB hub have the same Product and Vendor ID


2. when I plug in my NFC Readers into the ports, Linux creates files like 010 011 and 012 in the folder dev/bus/usb/001 and not something like ttyUSB ... in dev
   

Here is what I got with udevadm info:

Since there are no differences in vendor and Product ID I have tried to get the kernel number for each port with:

pi@RevPi2167:/dev/bus/usb/001 $ udevadm info -q path -n /dev/bus/usb/001/027
 /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3.4/1-1.3.4.4
pi@RevPi2167:/dev/bus/usb/001 $ udevadm info -q path -n /dev/bus/usb/001/028
 /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3.4/1-1.3.4.3
pi@RevPi2167:/dev/bus/usb/001 $ udevadm info -q path -n /dev/bus/usb/001/029
 /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3.4/1-1.3.4.2

I have honestly no idea what my rule file is supposed to look like.

I have tried

SUBSYSTEM="usb", KERNELS="1-1.3.4.4", SYMLINK+="hub0"
SUBSYSTEM="usb", KERNELS="1-1.3.4.3", SYMLINK+="hub1"
SUBSYSTEM="usb", KERNELS="1-1.3.4.2", SYMLINK+="hub2"

But that doesn't seem right at all.
