All QRP Labs products use this same VID/PID which is licensed by ST Microelectronics to QRP Labs for exclusive use by QRP Labs amateur radio products using STM32 microcontrollers. I'm very grateful to ST for this assistance as full USB-IF membership and VID/PID is prohibitively expensive for small businesses.?

I'd like to get the cdc_acm serial port on the QDX to work on ChomeOS in the Linux (Crostini) container. I'm looking for the Vendor IDs(VID) and Product IDs(PID) for all QRP Labs products so everyone can benefit, not just QDX owners.
On ChromeOS USB devices can be passed through to a Linux container. Currently the QDX works great on Crostini(Full OS container on ChromeOS) except the /dev/ttyACM* device from the cdc_acm driver is not passed through to the container. You can still use a terminal app from outside the container to manually send CAT commands and use VOX but there's no ability for WSJT-X or JS8Call to talk to the serial port.?
I'm opening a request to have these added to the list of devices allowed for pass through. They've done this for other cdc_acm devices when requested. I'm going to ask if all cdc_acm devices can be passed through but they may have a reason to stick with white listing by VID/PID.
I have the VID/PID for my QDX but I'm not sure if there are any other chips/IDs being used on other QRP Labs products and/or versions. If someone has a comprehensive list that would be great, but I'll take them individually here if people want to post them. I'll collect what I get over the next few days and submit a request to the Chromium bug tracker.?
Linux users can plug in their device and check the output of 'dmesg'. I'd be looking for a block of text like this:
