USB Communication Device Windows Driver
A USB Communication Device (often referred to as CDC) driver is a software component that allows a USB device to communicate with a Windows operating system. This type of driver is typically used for USB devices that behave like serial communication devices, like modems, GPS receivers, microcontrollers, or other embedded systems that expose serial communication over USB.
The CDC driver facilitates the interaction between the USB device and Windows, allowing the system to recognize the device as a serial port (e.g., COM port). This enables software to send and receive data to/from the device just like they would with traditional RS-232 serial ports.
