Brookhouse MUX - Halo - 2016-05-17

Hello,

Want to run OP on RPi 3; use a Brookhouse USB Seatalk MUX for all NMEA 0183 and  ST devices.
The MUX has a USB, RS422 and RS323 output. My intention is to connect the USB output to the RPi 3. But, as far as I know has the MUX a USB driver only for Windows. So, how to solve this "problem"?

Have you already connected? what the USB manager says?

Thanks for your quick reply.
No, the MUX is not yet connected because I just received the RPi 3 and still have to order OP.

But thinking in advance I realised there might be a problem with the Usb driver.
So first of all I'll buy the OP SD.

In the meantime I can connect my Laptop (running Linux Mint) to the MUX and see what's happening.

I now see I made a mistake in my first mail RS323 must be RS232.

Compliments to all of you for the great OP programm.

Good news, I downloaded the windows file from their site and it's the prolific driver which is in the linux kernel. Test it on your Linux Mint, I am quite sure it will work out of the box.
