What does ttyUSB mean? Sometimes, the embedded microcontroller does not come with a hardware USB interface. While it is possible to use a software-only USB stack, the additional constraints put onto the CPU and the usually small storage size often lead board designers to include a dedicated UART to USB bridge.
Because of a busy weekend I didn't really follow up other than via emails and this still hasn't been resolved. The consistent word from them was that porting a number sometimes takes 24 to 48 hours.. I spoke to a rep by phone today who promised it would be done within 2 to 4 hours.. It wasn't.
Only port numbers 0 to 1024 are reserved for privileged services and designated as well-known ports. Well-known ports are specified in RFC 1700. In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is an endpoint to a logical connection and the way a client program specifies a specific server program on a computer in a network. The port number identifies what type of port it is. For example, port 80 is used for HTTP traffic.
