UFTDI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UFTDI(4)NAME
uftdi — USB support for serial devices based on the FTDI chips
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device uftdi
device ucom
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
uftdi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The uftdi driver provides support for RS-232 (and possibly RS-485) vir‐
tual COM port functionality in various FTDI chips:
- FT8U100AX multi-function hub controller chip
- FT8U232AM USB UART chip
- FT232 series USB UART chips
- FT2232 series dual USB UART/FIFO chips
The uftdi driver doesn't support any other serial protocol supported by
these chips. These protocols might be supported by libftdi userspace
library.
The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave
like a tty(4).
