Hello usb experts, I want to develop a filter for a card reader, that is connected via a FTDI usb-serial converter to the host computer. The filter will be a standard linux machine that should be placed in the middle of an existing setup. Two pictures will clarify this:
Current Setup: +--------------+ usb +--------+ |Reader w/ FTDI|-----|Computer| +--------------+ +--------+ Future Setup: +--------------+ usb +------------+ usb +--------+ |Reader w/ FTDI|-----|linux filter|-----|Computer| +--------------+ +------------+ +--------+ Interfacing the reader from the linux box works without problems. It is mapped to one of the /dev/ttyUSBx devices. But I don't know where to start on the other side of the linux box? Would I need to develop a kernel driver, or could this be done with a userspace driver? As the "computer" accesses the reader with standard serial semantics the device emulated by the linux box must not be a FTDI, any device recognized as usb-serial will suffice. So maybe someone has already done something similar and there is a software I could use as a start. -- ---> Dirk Jagdmann ----> http://cubic.org/~doj -----> http://llg.cubic.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
