Software
To get full functionality under Linux, you must install the xr_usb_serial_common
kernel module. The drivers are available here:
In the "USB UART" section in their downloads table, pick the latest version for Linux. Here is a direct link to version 1C for "Linux 3.6.x and newer":
xr_usb_serial_common_lnx-3.6-and-newer-pak.zip
If successfully installed, when the USB device (04e2:1420 Exar Corp.
) is connected it the device node /dev/ttyXRUSB0
should show up.
