Re: [Ftdi-usb-sio-devel] FT8U245AM

You talk to the device as if it was a normal serial port.

So anything on the net about serial programming will work.

You will want to set up the port in 'raw' mode which you will find out 
about if you look at some of the serial programming info out there.

THis is a reasonable reference.
