What I do on linux when I have a new device with no drivers is I connect it, then use the 'lspci' command to find out the info regarding the chipset it is using. Using (lspci -nnv) gives more detailed info. This info is shown in the form {XXXX:XXXX]. Mac uses a similar command if not exactly the same.

Once I have the chipset ID then I can search for the specific needed drivers.

Worth noting: `lspci` will *not* help you if your device is USB, as the name suggests, it "lists" things that are on the PCI bus.

While PCI _can_ exist on external sockets in the form of Thunderbolt (including over HDMI and USB-C), most serial programming cables I've seen are USB. Use `lsusb` for that.
