[Gumstix-users] FTDI USB to Serial

[Dan N. <Dan...@ro...>]

 

I will soon have an expansion board with an FT4232 usb to serial chip on it.  I’m running a Debian root file system and have installed packages libftdi1 and libftdi-dev.  The kernel has been built with the ‘USE FTDI Single Port Serial Driver’ option.

 

Is this all I need, along with my user application?  I’ve noticed that the kernel option says single port serial but the chip has 4 serial ports.  Am I missing anything?

 

Thanks

Dan
