Discussion - Software / Vinculum II bridging UART to a FT232HL/Q
« on: January 10, 2020, 03:13:39 PM »
All,
I recently purchased the Vinculum II chip to bridge UART to a FT232HL/Q (pid 6014) device. I downloaded the precompiled firmware from the project "UART to FT232 Host Sample Application ROM" on the FTDI web page. I was expecting this application to work out of the box, but I'm having issues on the V2DIP1 development board. Other than a modification in the source code to adjust for the default pid, 6001 vs 6014, are there any other changes I should need out of the box? I'm running a 256000 baud rate and have made the appropriate baud rate changes to the code as well. I'm scoping the usb data lines to the FT232HL chip and do not see any activity when I initiate communications. Using the debugger, the firmware fails in ft232_host_attach() either trying to find the FT232 device or performing the attach. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Jason
