umct — Magic Control Technology USB-RS232 converter driver
Contents
Description
The umct driver provides support for USB to RS-232 converters based on the Magic Control Technology
USB-232 design. These devices support most of the standard RS-232 features including baud rates ranging
from 300 to 115200 bits per second. However, neither hardware nor software flow control seems to be
supported.
Access to devices under this driver is via the ucom(4) framework and device nodes.
