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.

Hello,
what version of Linux are you using? our Linux VCP drivers can be downloaded from our website https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ (http://url).
are you sure that the FT4232H mini module being powered correctly? depending on the power configuration you are using, there are some external connections needed. Section 3 of the module datasheet explains this https://ftdichip.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DS_FT4232H_Mini_Module.pdf (http://url).
