USB device 10c4 ea60 is nothing more than USB-to-serial converter using CP2101
or similar chips from Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.
If you see this USB id, you can guess nothing about the class of the device.
It can be:
- scanner
- GPS
- smart card reader
- USB-to-serial cable
To be able to guess more, you have to start communication over /dev/ttyUSBx.
Even then, the guess is often impossible. For example, Qstarz GPS use bus
powered CP2101 chip, but battery powered GPS device. Even if GPS is off, CP2101
chip is detected. It behaves exactly identically as an USB-to-serial cable with
no serial device attached.
