We need a bit more information about the board and kernel level.
Normally TS make modules available on their FTP site under something like
/ts-arm-sbc/ts7500-linux/binaries/ts-modules/ but in this case the cp2101.ko
module is not present.
You will need to download the correct kernel sources and follow the kernel
building process all the way through to 'make modules' which should amongst
other things produce kernel/drivers/usb/serial/cp2102.ko. You don't need to
replace the kernel on your board, just build a module that is the correct
version for the kernel you have.. It's pretty obvious if it works or not, just
remember to check with dmesg if the module fails to load.
The TS documentation for doing this is pretty good. 'LinuxArmGuide Rev2.3'
should do it.
