libusb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

libusb is a suite of user-mode routines for controlling data transfer to and from USB devices on UNIX-like systems without the need for kernel-mode drivers.

It is currently available for Linux, the xxBSDs and Mac OS and is written in C. There is also a port to Win32 systems.

[edit] usbserial

The usbserial module on Linux hosts is an alternative to libusb. ^[1]

The vendor ID and product ID must be determined:

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

and then passed to usbserial:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0525 product=0x0108
