The source code to the arduino-usbserial +project includes Atmel's VID and a PID donated by them to LUFA. This +PID is used in LUFA's USBtoSerial project, which forms the basis for +arduino-usbserial. According to the LUFA documentation, this VID/PID +combination is: + + "For use in testing of LUFA powered devices during development only, + by non-commercial entities. All devices must accept collisions on this + VID/PID range (from other in-development LUFA devices) to be resolved + by using a unique release number in the Device Descriptor. No devices + using this VID/PID combination may be released to the general public." + +The production version of the arduino-usbserial firmware uses the +Arduino VID. This is only for use with official Arduino hardware and +should not be used on other products. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
