Let's assumme there is an unknown device containing a USB to UART adapter inside it. The casing is closed, you cannot open it.
You connect the device to a computer, run a special software, and the software prints you the chip used for the USB to UART converter within the device.
Then you can choose the right driver to map to that vid/pid.
Relevant Technology
Knowledge of protocols and handshakes used by various USB to UART converters (FTDI, SiliconLabs, Prolific, etc...).
Wireshark dissectors
libusb
Complexity and required time
Complexity
[x] Advanced - The project requires the user to have a good understanding of all components of the project to contribute
Required time (ETA)
[x] Much work - The project will take more than a couple of weeks and serious planning is required
