C. Linux Driver
I am believed that you already have PL-2303X/H Linux driver source, and you also know
how to compile it in Linux, so I only explain how to link device with our driver.
In Makefile file, we had set a command to insert driver into Kernel, so you can type "make
inst" to insert driver, after that, please type "dmesg" command then click enter, you will see
messages appeared on screen, please force on the least line of message," usbserial.c”
The Prolific USB Serial Adapter converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (orusb/tts/0 for devfs).
It means the virtue COM port is in ttyUSB0, so if you want to use this port, you need to use
"ln" command to hard link with device, for example: we are use PL-2303X/H to connect
with modem (or ttyS0), so we need to type "ln -b /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0" then click enter,
if nothing happen and the screen appear "[root@localhost / xxxxx]#", then link operation is
successfully, next, you need to execute Start
