Discussion - Software / Re: What is VCOM functionality exactly?
« on: April 22, 2022, 03:45:19 AM »Hello,
Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. Application software can access the USB device in the same way as it would access a standard COM port.
D2XX drivers allow direct access to the USB device through a DLL. Application software can access the USB device through a series of DLL function calls. The functions available are listed in the D2XX Programmer's Guide document which is available from the Documents section of this site.
Unfortunately you can't communicate over SPI through VCOM interface. LibMPSSE and the MPSSE Engine can only be configured via the D2XX drivers.

So is VCOM only capable of controlling UART transfers then (i.e. no bit-banging or other interfacing)?
