I have this cheapie 44x11 programmable LED badge that I am trying to access under Linux.

I *think* its the same as this device ...

https://github.com/Caerbannog/led-mini-board

... but when I connect it to a USB port no /dev/ttyU* or /dev/ttyA* is created.

Output of dmesg ...

Bus 002 Device 023: ID 0416:5020 Winbond Electronics Corp.

Searching for details on this device returns lean pickings. I did come across this one comment in a discussion thread for a different device ...

... with no response.

Any advice about how go forward would be appreciated! Thanks.
