1.1 Driver Support
The FT2232H requires USB drivers (listed below) , available free from
which
are used to make the FT2232H appear as a virtual COM port (VCP). This allows the user to communicate
with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port (for example TTY). Another FTDI USB
driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to directly access the FT2232H
through a DLL.
