Discussion - Drivers / FTDI USB to serial Device automatic driver installation
« on: May 05, 2020, 10:04:07 AM »
Hi All,
I am working on a project where I have a USB to Serial FTDI chip, Exactly a FT220XQ-R, I have gone through some of the documentation provided by FTDI and managed to change USB Descriptors using FT_PROG Utility. like Enabling Serial Number and Automatic load of VCP driver. However I know that in order to use this device in a new computer the FTDI Standard driver must be installed.
Is there a way of setting this FTDI chip USB to Serial Device so that the drivers are loaded automatically or they are installed automatically once the device is plugged in a windows machine ?
I am just guessing that maybe as long as the host PC has an internet connection it may be possible to make windows download and install the right drivers ?
Cheers !
