What about a device which *is* intended to be used by sio, but *sometimes* you want to bit-bang it instead? In my case, I use the FT232R chips as usb-to-serial ports for my MCUs, but to *program* the MCU, I have to fiddle with the cbus pins too. For that task, I need to load libftdi. For normal communications I just use /dev/ttyUSB* via sio. -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details. To unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
