FTDI device driver (pure Python)

Documentation

PyFtdi online documentation is available here.

Source code

PyFtdi releases are available from the Python Package Index from PyPi.

PyFtdi development code is available from GitHub.

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

• EEPROM support (not all settings can be modified for now)

• Experimental CBUS support on selected devices, 4 pins per port

Supported host OSes

• macOS

• Linux

• FreeBSD

• Windows, although not officially supported
