Writing Linux USB CDC(ACM) drivers

I have a CDC device in the works that uses multiple different protocols that aren't exactly standard (i.e it is not RS-232, RS-485, ethernet, etc.), and was wondering if the default linux drivers would be able to support this. I'm assuming this would fall under a USB driver?



I can access the device with ttyACM0 on the terminal, but I also need to be able to send settings such as baud rates and transmission modes on a different USB endpoint (endpoint 1, endpoint 2 is reserved for data). There's also a few other odd conditions that have to be met before data can be received. But I have no clue how to go about doing this. I have an electrical background, not programming so I'm a little out of my depth here.



I'm also not sure about the difference between writing a driver and just using the libusb library to access the device. I would like to leave it as open ended as possible, I don't want to assume how anyone would use the device.



Any material on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
