Ah, so you send the bytes to a file on the "OPENPCR" storage device,

Don't know, haven't found where in their source they are reading from.
Bryan: If it didn't make an entry in /dev/, how would you interact with
No, an entry on /dev is perfectly fine... /dev/sde usually means a file storage device. I was unaware that this is how OpenPCR operates. It's unusual. Another /dev entry would have been reasonable, if there was some custom driver; or maybe if it was on a serial port it would be one of the /dev devices devoted to uh.. the serial ports. Which are definitely not /dev/sd* or named similarly.
it? Honest n00b question here; I thought everything connected to Linux
made a /dev/ entry to represent the device as a file?
yes
