Is there a cross-platform “port” in the Arduino Serial library?

Question

I want to transfer the Arduino library (namely, the HerkuleX servo controller) from Arduino to a PC (namely, to a Linux-based desktop computer). Since Arduino libraries are written in C ++, this should be pretty easy. However, the HerkuleX library uses the Arduino Serial library, which AFAIK is hardware specific. Does anyone know of a cross-platform sequential library (e.g. Boost.Asio) with the same API as Arduino? I thought for sure that it already exists, but Google could not. If not, I guess I will have to select an existing serial library and create a wrapper around it so that it behaves like an Arduino Serial library. (Thus, if the updated Arduino library is updated, retransmitting it to the PC will not be too complicated.)

Unfortunately, the Arduino serial library is not portable. This code is heavily dependent on Arduino hardware and AVR archeochemistry. Here is the source source and header . As you can see in the header file, it includes functions from the AVR library.
