Flash programmer on wine

[perazim]

I have a Sofi SP8-A flash programmer that connects via USB. The windows program that is provided to operate the programmer is relatively simple but what I am not sure about is whether Wine will support the SOFI supplied USB driver?

Anybody have any experience in this?

Thanks,

Perazim

Windows hardware drivers don't work in Wine. If the device is serial over USB and Linux recognizes it as such (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0), you may be able to get it to work by symlinking the device to a com port:

Code: Select all

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1
