Hi guys, I like to ask this question before I start any study.. lazy.
I need to write a PC program that communicates with a small device that have
a USB port in it.
Firmware guy showed me that the device can initialize its USB port, setup
communication path to PC, redirect its debug messages to COM port mapped to
USB. In hyperterminal program, this new COM port comes up (for example COM3)
if the device started its USB port setup successfully. So what I need to is
just find out this new mapped COM port and communicate with the device as if
it is connected to a normal serial port. Send some querry and wait
pre-arranged response from COM port in turn? Any advice, comments
appreciated.
Thanks bbg
