UART to USB 1.1 HID

I first learned about this chip from video https://youtu.be/jJoD2ioJPP0

chip on sop16 breakout

Connecting only VCC, GND USB- and USB+ to target and UART RX, TG and GND to USB serial works without any additional components.

I does not create normal /dev/input device under Linux, but sending chars over serial at 9600 8n1 does produce output at /dev/hidraw3 device
