FT51A Series Firmware Development
FTDI Chip provides a development
toolchain
based on SDCC ANSI-C compiler suite for the FT51A series.
It is fully integrated with the open source Eclipse IDE with C/C++ Development Tooling (CDT).
The FT51A Eclipse integrated toolset includes FT51A sample applications to enable the ability to start a new project design quickly.
FT51A Interface driver support
The FT51A toolchain is supported with a suite of free libraries to control each function block in addition to a collection of USB libraries to enable a range of USB HUB or device solutions.
All drivers will be provided as source code for easy adaptation and modification.

Firmware Download and Debug
With the plug-in developed by FTDI Chip, the functionality of Eclipse is extended to support loading of compiled firmware into the target
device via a dedicated 1-wire debug pin on the ICs. Running and debugging the firmware is also supported via the debugger pin with up to
3 breakpoints supported to assist debug. A dedicated debugger/programmer module is available to support these devices and interface with the
Eclipse IDE.
