Hi,
Hi,
I'm trying to communicate with a usb serial device plugged to a USB port. I've seen some examples with boost::asio and connecting to ie:
/dev/ttyUSB0 for linux, or COM1 for windows
etc.
But i need something more robust and multiplatform. Like listing all the available devices and choosing by looking at the vendor id, or device id or something like that.
It's not possible to list devices or get OS-specific data, but you can use the OS-API for that. native() will return the native type.
How can i do that?
Can this same approach be used later for say... bluetooth serial devices? How? The devices are usually handled similar, thus they are presented as "COM1" or "/dev/tty...". If the OS can load appropriate drivers, the API will gain access automatically. This abstraction also means, that you don't get access to the device itself, only to the serial connection. Thank you all in advance.
Alejandro
