For recent kernel, you need to compile from source this specifically fixed driver: https://github.com/skyrocknroll/CH341SER_LINUX.
First, update to the last kernel and prepare the env. Then, download, make and insert this CH341SER. It worked well on my RPi3, thanks to @aperepel and @skyrocknroll great works.

And everytime you need, you will have to recharge them, like that:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
pi@raspberrypi:/lib/modules/4.9.35-v7+/kernel/drivers/usb/serial $ sudo insmod usbserial.ko

First of all thank you very much for this manual how to get it running. I´ve done it step by step and the last lsmod shows me that everything should be fine. The problem is, that the Arduino IDE (2.1.0.5) doesnt show me a serial port. I have connected an Arduino Uno with CH34x to my Rasp3B. The weird thing: only one time it was working, but I tried different times after that and it never showed a serial port again. I also checked with lsmod before every time, but shows the two lines correctly. So do you have any suggestion or is there maybe a common mistake i made? Thanks in advance!

How do you get it to show up in lsusb? it is showing up now under usbserial.

Unfortunately I am on a headless raspberry pi lite “Sketch”. I decided to plug in the UNO I have and it’s recgonized no problem

Hi!

Try starting your Arduino pre-connect to your RPi BEFORE powering both.
