libftdi - A library (using libusb) to talk to FTDI's UART/FIFO chips
including the popular bitbang mode.
The following chips are supported:
+* FT230X
- FT4232H / FT2232H
- FT232R / FT245R
- FT2232L / FT2232D / FT2232C
- FT232BM / FT245BM (and the BL/BQ variants)
- FT8U232AM / FT8U245AM
+libftdi requires libusb 1.x.
+
The AUTHORS file contains a list of all the people
that made libftdi possible what it is today.
-Many thanks to Marek Vavruša for providing
-the initial C++ wrapper implementation.
