I read through the documentation of ftdi (www.ftdichip.com) but all I found, was the documentation for windows. I want to make this converter work on an embedded linux box, running a 2.6.14 kernel, including the module (ftdi_sio) I see the device (/dev/ttyUSB0) but, how can I configure it (buffers, transfer speed, ...) and how can I read from the device and write to the device. If you are using C, just use it exactly like you would use a serial port and it will work fine. If you see ttyUSB0 already, I'm sure everything is working correctly, but just to be sure, you need the usbserial portion of the kernel and the correct USB to serial drivers compiled into the kernel, or as a module. -Josh --  Joshua ChaitinPollak Software Engineer Kiva Systems
