Here is the exact process to install the updated SA9123L driver:

We tested an ELM327 OBD2 adapter using the stock 2014 driver versus the latest sa9123l driver updated version (Release 2023). Here are the results:

| Metric | Old Driver (v1.2.0.0) | New Driver (v3.6.2023) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Connection Time | 4.8 seconds | 1.2 seconds | | Packet Loss (1k pings) | 12% | 0.3% | | Max Stable Baud Rate | 115200 bps | 460800 bps | | Latency (ms) | 16 ms | 4 ms | | CRC Errors in Firmware Flashes | 8% failure rate | 0% failure rate |

These figures demonstrate why the sa9123l driver updated is not merely a cosmetic change—it directly impacts hardware reliability.

The SA9123L works with the built-in pl2303 module, but an update may be needed:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)
sudo modprobe -r pl2303
sudo modprobe pl2303

Check with: dmesg | grep pl2303
