I am developing a Linux-based application to communicate with the RapidConnect hardware via USB. What do I need to know about Linux support?

May 14, 2019

To operate the RapidConnect USB Stick with a Linux machine, a driver for the CP210x bridge chip is required. The driver is included in the following Linux kernel versions (and all subsequent versions):

  • v3.0.88 - longterm

  • v3.2.50 - longterm

  • v3.4.55 - longterm

  • v3.10.4 - longterm

  • v3.11-rc3 - stable

  • v3.12-rc1 - mainline

It can be found in the following directory:

linux-x.y.z\\drivers\\usb\\serial\\cp210x.c

Where x.y.z is the kernel version.

If the RapidConnect USB Stick module is not automatically supported for your kernel, contact MMB for additional instructions.
