A software-based virtual serial port presents one or more virtual serial port identifiers on a PC which other applications can see and interact with as if they were real hardware ports, but the data sent and received to these virtual devices is handled by software that manipulates the transmitted and received data to grant greater functionality.
When the USB to serial adapter is connected to the computer via the USB-port the driver on the computer creates a virtual COM port which shows up in Device Manager on Windows, and under /dev on Linux and MacOS. This virtual COM port can be accessed and used as if it was a built-in serial COM-port.
SIO is a serial port driver package for OS/2 written by Raymond L. Gwinn. It is designed to not only improve performance over OS/2's default serial drivers, but also improve compatibility. SIO contains a virtualized FOSSIL (VX00) driver that can be loaded to provide FOSSIL support to DOS based communications software.
At a lower level, a device driver implementing these functions would communicate to the particular serial port controller installed on a user's computer. The commands needed to control a 16550 UART are much different from the commands needed to control an FTDI serial port converter, but each hardware-specific device driver abstracts these ...
A Zilog Z8030 Serial Communication Controller (SCC) The SCC , short for Serial Communication Controller , is a family of serial port driver integrated circuits made by Zilog . The primary members of the family are the Z8030/Z8530, and the Z85233.
ttyS: (platform) serial port driver ttyUSB : USB serial converters, modems, etc. The canonical list of the prefixes used in Linux can be found in the Linux Device List , the official registry of allocated device numbers and /dev directory nodes for the Linux operating system.
At least 35 children were killed and six others critically injured in a crowd crush at a funfair in the Nigerian city of Ibadan on Wednesday, police said.
COM port (DE-9 connector). COM (communication port) [1] [2] is the original, yet still common, name of the serial port interface on PC-compatible computers. It can refer not only to physical ports, but also to emulated ports, such as ports created by Bluetooth or USB adapters.
