[opensuse] usb to COM port problem
42.1 I have a windows xp app which writes firmware to a device via a COM port. The app runs fine under wine. I don't have a COM port on my laptop but can get a usb to COM cable and plug my device into that. How do I link the usb to make it look like a COM under wine?

All of these usb-com that I have used came with some form of driver that windows automatically installed, sometimes right off of the device, or used one that came with windows. If Linux sees it and creates a com port when it is there, then wine should have no problem. Not sure that wine performs any hardware abstraction tasks by itself. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Linux most likely detected your USB to COM cable as /dev/ttyUSBxx; how to tell Wine to use specific device as (emulated) COM port I do not know. But keep in mind, that quite often those USB converters do not offer more than basic data transmission; and that various devices actually use RS232 hardware lines to control them (like - assert specific pin for given time). USB converters are known to not allow true hardware control. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

OK, thanks. That gets me closer. Another search on: linux wine /dev/tty brings up this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335098&s=5999e3551d6ab02564e5026edd332690&p=8371229#post8371229 Is this translatable to our 42.1? Question: how do I find the xx in /dev/ttyUSBxx? Thanks

Why not? Its just a soft link at the command line in linux.

Thanks everyone. Please forgive the naivety. We'll report back when the cable arrives. Two month wait from aliexpress. Nothing available locally in third world europe:( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I do not see anything Ubuntu specific in the first place.

Do you have may of them? Plug in converter and do "ls /dev/ttyUSB*".

It will almost certainly just turn up as a usb serial port, no special drivers needed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Those drivers tend to be for older versions of Windows, such as Windows 8. I have a USB serial adapter that I bought for XP and it also works with W7. I works fine with Linux too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ten minutes after it arrives, you will be able to answer your own question. Nobody knows till then. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuskniwse my brevity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
