I have Ipad pro 11" and would like to use it to connect to switches, firewalls etc. Is there a usb-c to serial adapter that works on an ipad pro? 14.0.1 version if the ios. I have searched but can't seem to find anything except for macbooks etc.
I own the Repark cable: it does NOT work with the iPad Pro, though. it requires a Lightning port. I tested USB-C cables and spoke with VanDyke (Secure CRT) Product Management in 2018, and was told that iOS lags the API to drive the USB-C serial cable. A shame, though. A serial cable would become quite handy. Wonder wether iOS 14 added support. See https://forums.vandyke.com/showthread.php?p=53144
A brief Google search reveals at least one potential solution:
I don't see anywhere that it can be used as a serial port to a device such as a console port on a switch/firewall.
I am trying to do an RS232 connection.
