USB Serial on Windows 10 IoT core

So.. I wanted to do some experimenting with Win10 IoT core. I've got this Usb to serial plug that I wanted to get working.

Plugged it in and tested this code:

var aqs = Windows.Devices.SerialCommunication.SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelector();
var myDevices = await Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(aqs, null);

if (myDevices.Count == 0)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("Device not found!");
}

var device = await Windows.Devices.SerialCommunication.SerialDevice.FromIdAsync(myDevices[0].Id);

You guessed it, 'Device not found'.

So I tried this code:

var dis = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync();

foreach (var item in dis)
{
      Debug.WriteLine(item.Id);
}

Sure enough a lot of devices. not not mine.. here is a part:

I guess that is why the previous code does not work..

You can SSH into the device and use the devcon find * command to list all the connected devices, and sure enough.. there it was:

USB\VID_067B&PID_2303\5&3753427A&0&4 : USB-Serial Controller

Then I tried this code to select the device directly:

var selector = Windows.Devices.SerialCommunication.SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(0x067b, 0x2303);
var dis = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync();

Also did not work..
Studied some more on the devcon command until I found this devcon status *:

USB\VID_067B&PID_2303\5&3753427A&0&4 Name: USB-Serial Controller The device has the following problem: 28

Aha.. and problem 28 means that the drivers are not loaded.. that explains a lot.. tried to find drivers but they just don't exist... yet.. I guess I'm too early trying this.

edit
Two days later I found this... press release clear prove that this is something they still work on..

So I guess the Win10 IoT core won't have the same release date as the regular Windows 10 (which is in about 2 weeks)
