In some cases (when trying to communicate with an ESP32-C6 MCU over its built-in USB-CDC hardware block), windows is not able to provide some port settings, like the number of data bits. mio-serial bails with an error in this situation, which does not result in a very good user experience. As this is a virtual COM port, these settings don't make a difference. As the previous behaviour was an error, ignoring that error and port setting should be a net improvement in device compatibility.

Closes #41

Hello, is this going to be merged?

nemecec added a commit to nemecec/mio-serial that referenced this pull request Feb 2, 2026
Some USB-CDC devices (e.g., ESP32-C6) cannot provide complete port settings via Windows APIs. Instead of failing with "Invalid data bits setting encountered", gracefully skip settings that cannot be read.

Fixes issue berkowski#41. Inspired by upstream PR berkowski#51.
