General Discussion / Connecting FT4232H to a Raspberry Pi 4 - no detection
« on: March 22, 2022, 04:42:25 pm »
I was hoping to get
FT4232H ( USB mini B uart)
Raspberry Pi Linux raspberrypi 5.10.63-v8+ aarch64 GNU/Linux
Edit: OS: Debian GNU/Linux, Versiojn=-10 (buster)
working together.
The Linux installation guide suggests if I'm reading it correctly that they expect that Linux will automatically detect and connect FTDI modules.

page 3: 1.1 "Since the FTDI VCP driver is built into the Linux kernel ... "
When I connect the module and type at the terminal
demsg | grep FTDI
It returns nothing. In other words, This linux kernel isn't detecting and connecting the FTDI module automatically, and no text in the demsg output contains "FTDI".
I am unsure where to go next with this and was hoping someone might have experience connecting these devices to a Raspberry Pi 4
If I can avoid using the D2xx drivers in favour of built in kernel support (VCP) I'll take the VCP ideally.
