Driver types and behavior
- Generic CDC/ACM driver: Exposes a virtual COM port (Windows) or /dev/ttyACM* (Linux). Minimal vendor-specific coupling, automatic installation on many OSes.
- Vendor-specific driver: Required when the device uses a nonstandard USB vendor/device ID or implements vendor-specific protocols; installs a custom COM driver, may provide a proprietary utility.
- Driver binary issues: Older or custom drivers may be unsigned (Windows), incompatible with recent OS security policies, or require kernel modules on Linux/macOS adjustments (kexts).
