General Linux and Windows Library Usage

[Bob Vandette]

The Device I/O library only supports Linux.  It should work on any Linux 
platform and not be restricted to embedded specific platforms as long as
you configure it properly.

I used the javax.comm package on Windows years ago but
this support was EOL’d by Sun many years ago.

I did a quick search and came up with this package that claims to do 
what you are looking for.  I have no experience with this technology and
this is not an endorsement of jSerialComm by Oracle.  Use at your own risk.
