dmesg during reprogramming when it is working

Description of problem:
ModemManager is breaking my ability to upload code to an Arduino compatibile usb device similar to the Leonardo. It should be blacklisted.

Everytime the chip resets the usb interface (which the upload does as part of uploading) I find from lsof on /dev/ttyAMC0 that ModemManager has the port open.

The usb has multiple ID's.

Normal state: New USB device found, idVendor=1ffb, idProduct=2300
During reprogramming: New USB device found, idVendor=1ffb, idProduct=0101

I tried blacklisting it by manually editing 77-mm-...something just like the arduino entries and it didn't work. I'm just now noticing in dmesg as part of reprogramming it appears as a different PID. 

I eventually just did yum remove ModemManager to get it to work.

Attached is an excerpt from dmesg.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Hello, Chris.

This is David from Pololu.  You should be able to follow the instructions we wrote in the A-Star's README.txt in order to add a udev rule for the A-Star that tells the ModemManager not to use it:

https://github.com/pololu/a-star/blob/master/README.txt

Also, we submitted a patch to the ModemManager project to generally ignore all Pololu devices:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:57:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 20:50:08 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
