How to show all ports correctly? #458

Closed sintyasin closed 1 year ago

sintyasin commented 1 year ago

Hi mik3y,

I tried to connect USB serial with 8ports to my computer and it shows 8ports. But, when i connect it to your example apps "Serial USB Terminal", it only shows 3ports. How is that possible? Is there any solution or things i could try to fix this?

Only FTDI,Prolific PL2303, Silabs CP210x, Qinheng CH340 and CDC/ACM devices are supported by this library. please provide specification of your device. does this device come with a dedicated Windows driver?

sintyasin commented 1 year ago

what if the device doesn't come with a dedicated windows driver? does it means, i can't use that device or is there any workaround for it?

kai-morich commented 1 year ago

if it does not come with a dedicated driver, it is uses a standard driver. if the standard driver is for one of the mentioned chips, it should also work with this library.

please post export from 'USB Device Info' app. The one from Alexandros Schillings. The other app with same name does not collect detaial

Hello, i tried to connect 2 devices to 'USB Device Info'. The first one which is working well with you library shows some info. But, the second one (which i have problems earlier) do not show anything, even after i update the DB and click refresh multiple times.

What does this mean? Is it possible that some devices just not compatible and can't be read by Android Serial Driver?
