--00000000000069dfe005cb2d9bbc Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I'm thinking a library that deals just with the device io. No protocols, just getting the raw data. Plugins for serial, HID Serial, raw USB packets, etc. libut61x uses it to get the data from the device, and you specify what plugin to use to get that data from the device. My programmes also use it to get the data from the devices, etc. Like hid-rnd but for device io not human io.
