Do you want to read data from an SPI communication or do you want to sample
the data at a defined frequency without the FT4232H "understanding" the SPI -
like a logic analyzer?
When you want the FT4232H to act as SPI slave and read data, the best way is
to use the MPSSE. I haven't done this myself and currently we lack a good
example in libftdi for that. But there is code out there which does it.
When you plan to use the FT4232H like a logic analyzer and sample the data at
a defined baudrate, then the bitbang mode is what you want.
You need to enable the bitbang (e.g. async bitbang), set the baudrate you want
and start to read continously.
Currently there is some uncertainty about how the bitbang baudrates really
work. The datasheet says you need to set 1/16 the baudrate you want for
bitbang - but we observed that it just gives you 1/4 of the speed you wanted.
So the code currently multiplies the speed by 4.
Kind regards,
Gerd
