Hi everybody..
I've just started learning linux hardware interfacing, and I'm designing a circuit that should use rs232 to communicate with the PC ..
The problem is that neither my PC nor the laptop has rs232 port.. so I thought about using an adapter...
I'm not sure if it's a good idea.. as I don't know whether it'll appear to linux as a usb device or as a usb one..
if it's a usb device, may - I think - I should try to find some other solutions.. as I know that programming usb drivers is kinda difficult..
so, what should I do ? any advice is much appreciated ..
thanks in advance..
