  3rd Party Drivers

This page contains information on some of the 3rd party drivers currently available for FTDI devices.

 

Drivers are available for the following platforms:

 

 

 

  Linux Drivers
Linux kernel 2.4.20 and greater has VCP drivers for FTDI's FT8U232AM, FT8U245AM and FT8U100AX devices built-in to the OS kernel so no downloads are necessary.  Our thanks go to Bill Ryder who developed these drivers.  Visit his website at http://ftdi-usb-sio.sourceforge.net/ for the latest information, updates and patches on Linux drivers for our devices.

 

Thomas Jarosch of Intra2net has kindly made a Linux library available to allow the use of bit bang mode.  Please visit his site at http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/index.php to learn more about libftdi.

 

 

  Free BSD Drivers
Free BSD version 4.8 and greater contains the uftdi driver which provides built-in support for FT8U232AM and FT8U245AM based peripherals.  For further details please refer to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=uftdi&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.7-stable.

 

Free BSD version 6 will support the FT2232C device.  Free BSD version 5 will also support the FT2232C device with a patch.

 

 

  Open BSD Drivers
Open BSD version 2.9 and greater contains the uftdi driver which provides built-in support for FT8U100AX serial ports.  Open BSD version 3.2 and greater also provides support for FT8U232AM and FT8U245AM based peripherals.  For more details of uftdi please refer to http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=uftdi&sektion=4.
