Subject: [Boost-users] Asio Serial ports: enumerating all the devices
From: Vincent Boucher (vin.boucher_at_[hidden])

Hello,

Are there cross-platform methods to discover all the devices currently connected through serial ports with Boost?

The idea is to have a function returning a list of device objects, each containing a handle, the related vendor id, product id and the baud rate at which the device was able to communicate.

My knowledge of serial communication is very limited, may be it is technically infeasible. Do you have any thoughts for Boost or other libs?

Analog enumerate method for HID devices:

Thanks,

Vincent
