Hi,

I'm trying to communicate with a usb serial device plugged to a USB
port. I've seen some examples with boost::asio and connecting to ie:

/dev/ttyUSB0 for linux, or
COM1 for windows

etc.

But i need something more robust and multiplatform. Like listing all
the available devices and choosing by looking at the vendor id, or
device id or something like that.

How can i do that?

Can this same approach be used later for say... bluetooth serial devices? How?

Thank you all in advance.

Alejandro
