It's not much like other usb-serial chips. In fact it's not strictly a usb-serial chip, it's a multifunction chip that includes a software -controllable usb hub, 2 serial ports, gpio, an i2c bus master, an MCU interface, a multichannel DMA controller, and apparently even has the ability to download your own 8052-compatible microcontroller code into the 5052 and have it take over from the built-in rom code. It would be reasonable enough to write a driver that initially supported only the uart part of the chip. -- IanReceived on Sun Jul 24 2016 - 17:12:39 UTC
