[avrdude-dev] [bug #31779] Add support for addressing usbtinyisp with -P option

[Joerg Wunsch]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #31779 (project avrdude):

Unfortunately, the enumeration using bus_number:device_number is
*very* Linux-specific.  For example, under FreeBSD 8 (and above), the
equivalent names for all devices on one machine would look like:

bus_name:dev_name: /dev/usb:/dev/ugen1.2
bus_name:dev_name: /dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.4
bus_name:dev_name: /dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.3
bus_name:dev_name: /dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.2
bus_name:dev_name: /dev/usb:/dev/ugen1.1
bus_name:dev_name: /dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.1

No idea how it would look like under Windows.

I'd like to see that patch tuned in a way so the bus/device numbers
can be given as just "-P usb:0.4", which would then translate into
/proc/bus/000/004 under Linux, /dev/ugen0.4 under FreeBSD, and
whatever is needed for it under Windows.

Too bad Lady Ada didn't implement serial numbers.
