Re: Is it possible use Virtual Serial Port with libftdi driver?

[Guanyun Zhang <guanyunzh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Xiaofan for your reply.

Just to double check I understand you correctly:

1. It is still the case now (i.e., Virtual Serial Port is not available when using libFTDI driver).

2. I should try UsbDk driver (https://github.com/daynix/UsbDk), as it may support Virtual Serial Port. Are you suggesting to use UsbDk driver (https://github.com/daynix/UsbDk) to replace libFTDI driver, or alongside it? 

Best regards,

Guanyun
