USB-UART Adapter
Description
The USB-UART adapter is pretty simple but usefull and ressourcefull. It provides access to a serial link (3.3V UART) from an USB port, either USB male or micro-USB female which is one of the cool special features of this adapter. Another cool feature is the 3.3V and 5V power both available on 2.54mm headers, usefull for most prototyping needs.
This adapter uses an FTDI FT230XS, with most signals available on the UEXT-like connector, and should thus support I2C, SPI, and other protocols or data busses using the bitbanging capabilities of the FTDI chips, though this would require software support on your side as we did not have time to do so yet (We'll keep you up-to-date as soon as we have more information on these).
How-to use
TODO List
- Technical documentation
- I2C and SPI support using the bit-banging capabilities of the FTDI chip (Host side software support)
- SWD and/or JTAG support
- RS232 version
- Low voltage (1.8V) version (microprocessors and SWD/JTAG debug support)
