1.1 Driver Support
The FT2232H requires USB drivers (listed below), available free from http://www.ftdichip.com, 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.
