FTDI device driver (pure Python)

Documentation

PyFtdi documentation is available from https://eblot.github.io/pyftdi/

Overview

PyFtdi aims at providing a user-space driver for modern FTDI devices, implemented in pure Python language.

Modern FTDI devices include:

• UART-only bridges

  • FT232R (single port, 3Mbps)

  • FT230X/FT231X/FT234X/ (single port, 3Mbps)

• UART and multi-serial protocols (SPI, I²C, JTAG) bridges

  • FT2232C/D (dual port, clock up to 6 MHz)

  • FT232H (single port, clock up to 30 MHz)

  • FT2232H (dual port, clock up to 30 MHz)

  • FT4232H (quad port, clock up to 30 MHz)

Features

PyFtdi currently supports the following features:

• UART/Serial USB converter, up to 12Mbps (depending on the FTDI device capability)

• Bitbang/GPIO legacy support, 8 pins per port

• SPI master, with simultanous GPIO support, up to 12 pins per port, with support for non-byte sized transfer

• I²C master, with simultanous GPIO support, up to 14 pins per port

• Basic JTAG master capabilities

• Basic EEPROM support (R/O access + R/W for serial/product/manufacturer)

Supported host OSes

• macOS

• Linux

• FreeBSD

• Windows, although not officially supported
