Discussion - Hardware / FT4232 as I2C Slave?
« on: April 02, 2018, 04:52:37 PM »
Greetings all,
I have a unique application where I need to convert serial and I2C to USB.
It's an odd application where commands are sent over serial and data is received back via I2C. (I didn't design it!)
So, the I2C interface needs to be a slave. The MCU on the other end is the master.
I could certainly use a microcontroller for this but then I have to deal with USB, drivers, and other issues where this appears to be a more plug and play solution.
Then all I need to deal with is the software for the most part.
What I don't see is any information / API to configure the device as an I2C slave.
Is this supported on this device?
If not, any suggestions?
Thanks!
