+# USB CDC-ACM Virtual Com Port example
+
+(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
+
+This example shows how to extend CDC-ACM driver for Virtual Communication Port devices,
+such as CP210x or FTDI FT23x devices.
+
+## How to use example
+
+1. Pick your USB-to-UART device by executing `idf.py menuconfig` and navigating to `Example Configuration -> USB-to-UART device type`
+2. Change baudrate and other line coding parameters in `cdc_acm_vcp.cpp` to match your needs
+3. Now you can use the CDC-ACM to API to control the device and send data. Data are received in `handle_rx` callback
+4. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting of the USB device to experiment with USB hotplugging
+
+### Hardware Required
+
+* ESP board with USB-OTG supported
+* Silicon Labs CP210x or FTDI FT23x USB to UART converter
+
+Connect USB_D+, USB_D-, GND and +5V signals of your ESP chip to matching signals on USB to UART converter.
+
+#### Pin Assignment
+
+See common pin assignments for USB Device examples from [upper level](../../../README.md#common-pin-assignments).
+
+### Build and Flash
+
+Build this project and flash it to the USB host board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
+
+```bash
+idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
+```
+
+(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
+
+(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
+
+See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

+     * and fed into a prescaler as a 3MHz reference clock. This 3MHz reference clock is then divided
+     * down to provide the required Baud rate for the device's on chip UART. The value of the Baud rate
+     * divisor is an integer plus a sub-integer prescaler.
+     * Allowed values for the Baud rate divisor are:
+     * Divisor = n + 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 0.625, 0.75, 0.875; where n is an integer between 2 and

+     * of 1 will give 2 MBaud. Sub-integer divisors between 0 and 2 are not allowed.
+     * Therefore the value of the divisor needed for a given Baud rate is found by dividing 3000000 by the
