Hi.
Just wondering if anyone out there has used a USB to serial adapter with QNX
4 (or even QNX 6). I got a few of these adapters coming and going to play
with then and
attempt to write a driver that will support the serial connection on the USB
port.
If anyone has done this and is willing to share the driver, then that would
be awesome…
TIA

When you say “USB to serial adapter” what do you mean?

There are devices out there that can go on the USB port and give you a
serial port. I’m assuming you can have several of these on the USB port
(generating a few extra serial ports on the machine). These would help if
you have traditional serial devices that you need to hook up to a computer
(like a laptop) but don’t have a way to add serial ports.

Problem with these devices Augie is there is unlike printer, modem, mass
storage device there is not standard for serial over USB. That means most
device probably have a custom protocol/interface ;-(

There are devices out there that can go on the USB port and give you a
serial port.
There is a lot of such devices. I don’t know how close to FT8U245 your
devices are. But might be you want to take a look at this page:
http://gleb.qnx.org.ru/index_en.html
I’m assuming you can have several of these on the USB port
(generating a few extra serial ports on the machine). These would help if
you have traditional serial devices that you need to hook up to a computer
(like a laptop) but don’t have a way to add serial ports.
Alternatively you can buy Ethernet-to-Serial converter, like some box
from here:
http://www.lavalink.com/products/ether_serial/
prod_ether_serial_dual_port_rs-232_db-9.html
If you choose this way ask Lava sales representative for QNX6 driver. Or
drop me a line I’ll send you latest copy [beta 
] of driver (if you
prefer to see the serial ports just like regular /dev/ser devices
instead of working with TCP raw data stream or under RFC 2217
convention).
