Previous +versions of the Arduino used an FTDI USB to Serial interface. The newest +Arduino (beginning with the Uno) uses an on-board ATMel 8U2 controller +to emulate a USB to Serial interface with its own custom Vendor ID and +Hardware ID. As a result, NONE of the existing FreeBSD USB to serial +drivers can work with it. This kernel driver supplies the necessary +kernel support for the Arduino Uno on FreeBSD. + +Additionally, some 'ACM' USB Serial devices may work with this driver by +manually adding their Vendor ID and Product ID combination to files/ids.txt + +Official web site +WWW: http://www.mrp3.com/uarduno.html |
