This Tech Note describes the
installation and use of the FTDI D2XX driver for FTxxxx devices in

Note : Many Android systems with
USB host capability enumerate devices with application
incompatible permissions (0660). In order to modify the default
permissions a user must have root access. FTDI does not accept any
responsibility for customers who choose to enable root access on
their Android platform and subsequently may void their warranty.
Enabling root access on such devices is entirely at the user’s own
risk.
