    Release Notes
    --------------

    This driver was tested on Linux 5.4.0 kernel (Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS) only
    but it should work with other versions of Linux kernel as well.
    Linux kernel also has a default cp210x driver which is maintained at
    www.kernel.org.
    It is recommended to use the driver there that matches your specific kernel
    version.

    The bundle contains:


    * cp210x.c
    * Makefile
    * cp210x_gpio_example.c
    * cp210x_gpio_example_gpiolib.c
    * build.sh
    * CP210x_VCP_Linux_4.x_Release_Notes.txt

    Build instrutions:

    Ubuntu:
    1. make ( your cp210x driver )
    2. cp cp210x.ko to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
    3. insmod /lib/modules/<kernel-version/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
    4. insmod cp210x.ko

    RedHat:
    1. yum update kernel* //need to update the kernel first otherwise your header
    won't match
    2. yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers //get the devel and header packages.
    3. reboot //your build link should be fixed after your system come back
    4. make ( your cp210x driver ) // should be able to build successfully at this
    point
    5. cp cp210x.ko to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
    6. insmod /lib/modules/<kernel-version/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
    6. insmod cp210x.ko
    7. sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
    8. sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1

    GPIO example:
    This shows how to use the two IOCTLs to set GPIO state.
    Note: By default, this example assumes you are working with a CP2108 device.
    If you want to work with other devices such as CP2102N, etc,
    then please comment out the line "#define CP2108" in cp210x_gpio_example.c

    Build instructions:
    1. g++ cp210x_gpio_example.c -o cp210x_gpio_example
    2. ./cp210x_gpio_example

    GPIO example using gpiolib:

    Since Linux version 4.8 the GPIO sysfs interface is deprecated.


    Now we have a new API based on character devices to access GPIO lines from user
    space.
    This shows how to use library and a set of tools provided by the libgpiod project
    to read and write all the gpio of cp210x device at the same time.

    Buil instructions:
    1. g++ cp210x_gpio_example_gpiolib.c -lgpiod -o cp210x_gpio_example_gpiolib
    2. Run "./program_name argv[1] argv[2]"
    - Where:
    argv[1] is the file path of gpiochip. example: '/dev/gpiochip0'
    argv[2] is value that is writed to gpio:
    0 : Low level, turn on led on cp210x ek board
    1 : high level, turn off led on cp210x ek board
