USB <-> RS-232 DB9 Serial Driver #1

Closed jenkinz closed 2 years ago

jenkinz commented 10 years ago

Find a cross-platform driver for USB to RS-232 DB9 Serial. Ideally the driver will support the creation of a virtual COM port in /dev on UNIX machines that can be easily written to and read from using lrzsz (ZMODEM protocol).

Found a good potential driver: http://plugable.com/drivers/prolific/

Mac and Windows drivers readily available; Linux also available (see link to Prolific PL2303 driver downloads in link above).

On the Mac for initial development, this driver will create a virtual COM port mapped to /dev/cu.usbserial which and rz and sz can then redirect to for reading/writing files over the serial port.
