I need to filter the above dive computer names to those with FTDI
interfaces. In libdivecomputer the dc_descriptor_t contains a lot of
information, for instance the transport definition. In addition there is
dc_type that also has information. Which is the mechanism to detect
which compuyers have an FTDI interface?
I don't think there's a way to tell from their descriptor. We may have to
white-list the ones that we know works. Manually.
:-((((
There's not necessary any connection between usb-serial chip and
divecomputer. One might use a ftdi usb-to-serial with a old serial cable
connected to any serial dive computer.
One manufacturer might have used ftdi chips in one generation of serial
cables, and silabs in another.
If there's a matching PID/VID available on the usb-bus we can use it.
Anton, thanks very much.
Is there a way in android to check for a PID? You can imagine that the
initial step of devising communication will be immensely complex.
Kind regards,
