ORX unix version (libftdi)

FTDI's SIO driver (virtual serial port emulation) has proven to be unreliable for raw data transmission over serial. The libftdi library is not exhibiting this problem.

There will be a standard POSIX / termios implementation at a later date. Machines with native serial port are fairly hard to find nowadays.

This version includes a built-in primitive console mode. By specifying the -t option you can send and receive characters to the connected device.

----------

[MacOS X]

In order to access an FTDI device through libftdi, unload any active SIO driver. You have to be superuser/root to do this.

kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext/
