if I understood, this is a vendor to vendor specific, cuz an adapter from usb -> com RS232 you have and micro-controler on it, then you have to find a documentation from vendor to vendor, or try to find out on linux kernel.

I hope this helps.

good lock.

Hi, you have to look for the technology behind the port com. Usually what you have is a " FTDI" which is " UART" compliant .
Remember than USB can have high latencies ( +-1ms) which on-board UART controller doesn't have.
