The serial number is what tells which is which.

Maybe there could be an extra function that takes care of actual IO, so that it doesn't matter if the serial protocol goes over actual serial or bulk transfers. > Anyway, I will not implement userspace libusb logic for cm210x's > usbserial hardware specifics, its not that small and easy...

The point is again that it makes for nice plug and play on all systems but Windows. As we discussed on IRC, the SiLabs serial port driver is used on Windows, and in order to go from there to libusb the kernel driver would need to be replaced. This can be done automatically using http://libusb.org/wiki/libwdi but then the driver would need to be switched back again to use the original application. That doesn't make much sense, another solution would be much better. > If you know an open source project that has such 'cm210x libusb' > implementation that i can easily copynpaste, please tell me! ;) Would use bulk transfers to send data. One function call. May need to look a little at the kernel driver, or the device datasheet, to craft the control transfer that sets correct port mode and speed. //Peter
