The interfaces over USB are the "virtual com port" and the D2XX driver layer.
- based on FTDI FT232H circuit
- provides an easy way to get a USB2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) interface to your device
- operating modes: UART, BITBANG, FIFO, FT1248 MPSSE (= JTAG, I2C, SPI)
- IO pins CMOS 3V3 and 5V tolerances
- sits on a breadboard (DIP28 600mils)
- mini-B USB connector
Note! Check the FTDI website for the necessary drivers and FT_PROG utility. For Linux, an alternative is the open source libftdi1 drivers.
