Connecting to PC via USB instead of RS-232

Hello.

This is pretty general question I think. I have PAN802154 wireless module that I program using USB BDM Multilink. At the end of the day I'd want it connected to PC as coordinator. I noticed I can do this using the RS-232 interface, but using serial port is just inconvenient, and if possible I want to use USB port instead.

Any pointers on what can I do? In short I want to be able to do what the BDM Multilink can.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

The most obvious thing here would be to simply use a COTS USB to Serial converter to achieve this. Another would be to use a chip from FTDI or similar to provide a USB interface on board.

Do you mind elaborating it? COTS USB? FTDI?
