1 rickli Following possibilites do exist :





- ask USB chip manufactorer for driver or source code


- search microsoft site for drivers (suppose you have windows CE)


- search internet for source code of drivers for linux for chips you are going to use in USB to serial h(at)ck them and adapt to windows CE


- use multiple UART micro with usb device implemented and write driver for that device


- use multiple UART micro (such as m32C mitsubishi)


and connect it to your device by com port and use special protocol to access individual ports on that micro


- use few ( let say atmel) micro where one is master and connected to pc via usart and provides connectivitiy to other slave mciros (each having separate uart) via SPI . Again special handling is required .


- any other variants not mentioned
