Serial USB-driver for Winchiphead CH340/41 chip

From: Werner Cornelius
Date: Fri Sep 14 2007 - 08:54:27 EST


Hello,

I know that there has been a patch for the Winchiphead CH340/41 USB to serial
converter chips on the net, but they have been implemented with only a basic
feature and limited baudrates due to the lack of any datasheets.

I picked these patches up and added all common baudrates as well as the
complete modem control and status handling to be able of using this adapter
in nearly all applications.

Features still missing:

- character length other than 8 bits
- parity settings
- break control

I don't have an USB sniffer, if someone may send me sniffer logs for various
settings these features may be added to the driver of course.

I am not listening on this mailing list, so please address me directly if
there are any questions or comments.

The patch is against the 2.6.22.5 kernel, but should work for newer kernels,
too.

Werner

+Winchiphead CH341 Driver
+
+ This driver is for the Winchiphead CH341 USB-RS232 Converter. This chip
+ also implements an IEEE 1284 parallel port, I2C and SPI, but that is not
+ supported by the driver. The protocol was analyzed from the behaviour
+ of the Windows driver, no datasheet is available at present.
+ The manufacturer's website: http://www.winchiphead.com/.
+ For any questions or problems with this driver, please contact
+ frank <at> kingswood-consulting.co.uk.
+ Extensions for universal baudrate settings and modem status/control has
+ been added by werner <at> cornelius-consult.de.
