Title: FTDI C232HD-DDHSP-0 MATLAB SPI
Post by: yefj on February 08, 2021, 03:51:14 PM

Hello,Is there a manual on how to use this cable FTDI C232HD-DDHSP-0 for SPI communication with matlab?
The more common is UART but there is no SPI
Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately we don’t have any support for MATLAB.

However there may be other FTDI Community users who can help you.

As for SPI Master communication with FTDI C232HD-DDHSP-0 (contains FT232H) see the following information:

To use I2C/SPI, see AN_135 FTDI MPSSE Basics (https://ftdichip.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/AN_135_MPSSE_Basics.pdf) and our existing MPSSE Example projects:

https://ftdichip.com/software-examples/mpsse-projects/
 (https://ftdichip.com/software-examples/mpsse-projects/)
There are two options to use I2C/SPI modes with the MPSSE engine:

a.            Use LibMPSSE libraries. Example code is provided with the download.
b.            Use D2XX drivers direct. Example code is shown at I2C (https://ftdichip.com/software-examples/mpsse-projects/#usb-to-i2c-inteface) / SPI (https://ftdichip.com/software-examples/mpsse-projects/#usb-to-spi-interface). [urlhttp://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/AppNotes/AN_108_Command_Processor_for_MPSSE_and_MCU_Host_Bus_Emulation_Modes.pdf]AN_108 Command Processor For MPSSE and MCU Host Bus Emulation Modes[/url] provides the necessary information.

Option b is the best option to use the D2XX drivers direct (no dependency on libMPSSE library).
