to encounter support this chip. |

USB
Drivers
The
worst part about USB is that custom drivers have to be written. The good
news is that the FT232BM is popular enough that most current OS's support
it either out-of the box or with these drivers
|
- Win2K/XP/ME/98
- I found that Windows Update knew about the chip when I plugged
it in, you can also download drivers from FTDI.
When plugged in, a new COM port appears under the hardware
manager, which can be configured.
- MacOS 8/9/X
- I haven't used this with a Mac but the drivers are available
from FTDI
if they aren't preinstalled
- Linux
- I tested this with a RedHat7 machine. Under >2.4.0 kernels,
the driver is already built-in, and creates a new serial port
under /dev. You can read more about it at the driver
page.
- Other
- WinCE, OpenBSD and FreeBSD are theoretically supported,
read more and check on new drivers at the FTDI
driver page
