ucycom — device driver for Cypress CY7C63743 and CY7C64013 USB to RS232 bridges
Contents
Description
The ucycom driver provides support for the Cypress CY7C63743 and CY7C64013 bridge chips. These chips
were designed to provide a low-cost transition path to USB for existing RS232 devices, and have fairly
limited capabilities.
The ucycom driver behaves like a tty(4).
