When building devices with USB capable microcontrollers, a quick and simple option for communicating with a host PC is to use CDC, a virtual serial port. This handy mechanism is built into all modern PC operating systems. However, the way you open a serial port, set line settings, and start speaking serial are very different between Microsoft Windows and POSIX based platforms. This library and program bridges the differences between the two APIs and supplies a console tool for making communication in scripts much simpler. |
