installation-instructions
The EV3Console USB drivers use FTDI chip for communication,
which uses FTDI serial drivers (these are commonly available in any
Linux).
To configure USB, we use FTDI chip with manufacturer ID as
0403, and Device ID as ABB9.
You will have to configure your installation's USB enumerations
based on these values. (Essentially, you will have to configure your
USB driver such that when it sees device with the ID's above, it
loads Serial drivers for it.)
