Research direction

Start by locating the communication-port dialog, device enumeration, and baud-rate selection logic in the Qt application. Trace what happens when a device is connected while no connection exists, then verify the requested ttyACM* and ttyUSB* baud-rate suggestions and manual device selection. Done means the correct device and baud rate are selected or suggested in each described case.
