  D2XX Direct Drivers

This page contains the D2XX drivers currently available for FTDI devices. 

 

For Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers, please click here.

 

Installation guides are available from the Installation Guides page of the Documents section of this site for selected operating systems.

 

 

  D2XX Drivers
D2XX drivers allow direct access to the USB device through a DLL.  Application software can access the USB device through a series of DLL function calls.  The functions available are listed in the D2XX Programmer's Guide document which is available from the Documents section of this site. 

 

Programming examples using the D2XX drivers and DLL can be found in the Projects section of this site.

 

FTDI device drivers may be used only in conjunction with products based on FTDI parts.
The driver may be distributed in any form as long as our license information is not modified.
If a custom Vendor ID and/or Product ID, or description string are used, it is the responsibility of the product manufacturer to maintain any changes and subsequent WHQL re-certification as a result of using these changes.
