and let me just state how fantastic it is to have this as a native binary running on linux!
Really stoked about that.
me too.. it wasn't really an official goal, just a side effect.

it's too bad it requires bleeding edge QT to run, though, that screws us out of distribution packages for probably a year. hell, most distributions still run QT4.x

being GPL i could technically just copy qserialport into my source tree, rename the class, and then the serial driver is part of eehack's distribution, but i'd like to avoid that.

Next test.... flashing.
if datalogging and tweaking parameters works without generating errors, it should be alright.
