I've implemented a simple software-based UART on a 50-mhz Parallax uC. I'm operating it at a baud rate of 2mbps. It talks to an FTDI FT232BM chip (http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/FT232BM.htm) in a usb- serial converter. While I've done extensive testing of the transmit portion of my code, I'm still working on and refining my RX code. Most UART implementations use an over-sampling (I've ...

Greetings, I wish to transfer binary data in the simplest way possible from a PC to either an AVR or TMS320F2812 embedded target via USB. The PC will be running a Python/wx.Python program and use PySerial to send data out through the virtual COMM port produced by using a FTDI FT245BM USB-to-FIFO parallel interface chip on the target. Ideally this program will be useable on Linux as ...

Hi. I'm working on a project where I am connecting a Garmin OEM GPS Receiver (asynchronous, RX-TX-GND) through the USB port in Windows XP. Initially I connected the GPS through COM1 and successfully received the data in HyperTerminal. The GPS sends data at the factory default of 4800, 8N1. The GPS sentence length is 55 bytes plus a LF and CR at the end, one sentence per second. (only the $...

Has anyone torture tested USB RS232 converter cables lately? The ones Dontronics sells with the FTDI chipset have been working great for us, but they raised the price through the roof. We need one that supports DSR and DTR signals, works on all Windows OS's except NT & 95, handles 460,800 baud, and has good quantity 100 pricing. -Brian http://www.rabbitsemiconductor.com http://ww

Thank to "cs_posting", Mil Wilson, and all the other respondents, I have gotten my Linux machine talking to my Luminary LM3S811 evaluation board. The board uses an FTDI FT2232D chip in a design that is advertised as being compliant to the OpenOCD design, but which uses a unique product ID. Luminary provides Windows device drivers, but no Linux support. It turns out that I had to edit ...

Hi Gurus, I am switching from AVR to ARM. Currently, I use an ATmega162 which is running out of code space (16kB) and performance. But I find it difficult to choose between Atmel's ARM (looking at the SAM7S series) and thePhilips LPC2104/5/6 series. I don't need many peripherals (yet). My current design uses an FTDI chip for USB, I could save that by using Atmel (Philips has no USB), but o...

I'm working on my pension scheme project. 99% worked out, coded and I just need one little extra. I need to embed text info into my serial datastream ( that is going through my 8051) from the usual PC/mac coming from the keyboard in an open text document, Word, Open Office etc. Probably use FTDI stuff on my 8051 board. That is echo the keyboard to a USB/ serial port, one way only. I...

Hi, I have hit a bottleneck while using FIFO interface mode of FTDI FT2232L USB demo board, which i plugged into my linux box (2.4.20-8smp). I made sure that the ftdi_sio and usbserial modules are removed. To verify that the onboard EEPROM is actually configured to 245BM FIFO interface, I used Mprog (in windows). Next, I have installed the latest libftdi and libusb packages and tried to ex...

Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out how to architect a robust system using the FTDI chips in FIFO mode. I'm pretty sure some of you have been through this before. I'm using the FT2232H in synchronous FIFO, but my concerns are general. The system has PC FT2232H FPGA, and is used to both stream/receive data between the PC and the FPGA. I'm wanting to stream continuous data at about

I'm in problems!! please Help Me!!! I'm interfacing an 8051 from Atmel (AT89s8252) with an USB to serial converter from FTDI (FT232BM). The FT232BM is Bus Powered and the 8051 is powered through the BUS too. The interfacing i use is simply through the UART of 8051 directly to the TXD and RXD pins of FT232BM. Just for testing, I've programmed the 8051 t osend a byte to the port conti...
