Hi i have an engine management system i am tuning and the main software/interaction between my windows xp 32 virtual machine is fine, works great.
However i need to make some alterations to the firmware (not that you'll care, but to assign the various output/input wires to sensors the car would not normally have had)
The problem i have is that this program is a bit.... Victorian.
It will only allow me to connect via serial ports. Now i gave no serial port on the laptop, my ecu doesn't use one (and uses usb a to usb b to communicate) what can i do? People say online use a serial port converter, but then what do i do? Attach another serial port to usb to that then usb a to usb b converter cable to put it back? Seems impractical.
Surely theres some script i can add/alter or some third party software to map one of my usb's to com1 or something?
Any help gratefully recieved!
