I'm doing cross-platform development of a product that accesses
custom hardware connected to the USB port, which acts like a serial
device.
On Windows I can send and receive data to the COM port associated
with the device. For testing, I downloaded the open source com0com
project, which creates a pair of virtual serial ports which are
connected to each other; the output for one is the input for the
other. This allows me to test my software against a "virtual device"
program I have written.
Does a similar software package to com0com exist for Mac OS X?
In this sense, I guess it would create a pair of psuedo-ttys that are
connected to each other in the background.
I read through the archives of this list and found a similar question
a while back, but the question wasn't phrased clearly and it isn't
the same question as I am posing above, so that's why I'm writing now.
If an existing solution doesn't exist, I suppose I could write my
own. Any thoughts on the complexity of such a task?
Cheers,
T
