Mini-Module FT2232H¶
The FT2232H Mini Module is a USB to dual channel serial/MPSSE/FIFO interface converter module based on the FT2232H USB Hi-Speed IC. The FT2232H handles all the USB signalling and protocol handling. The module provides access to device I/O interfaces via 2 double row 0.1” pitch male connectors. The module is ideal for development purposes to quickly prove functionality of adding USB to a target design. Official reference can be found here
Configuration¶
You can configure debugging tool using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = minimodule
If you would like to use this tool for firmware uploading, please change upload protocol:
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = minimodule
upload_protocol = minimodule

Drivers¶
| Windows: | See https://community.platformio.org/t/esp32-pio-unified-debugger/4541/20 |
|---|---|
| Mac: | macOS contains default FTDIUSBSerialDriver driver which conflicts with debug tools which are based on this chip. FTDI Chip company recommends removing this default driver from a system. Everything should work after system rebooting. See detailed instruction in official application note (Page 16, Section 4: Uninstalling FTDI Drivers on OS X) AN134: FTDI Drivers Installation guide for MAC OS X |
| Linux: | Please install “udev” rules 99-platformio-udev.rules. If you already installed them before, please check that your rules are up-to-date or repeat steps. |
Wiring Connections¶
| FT2232H Mini-Module Pin | Board JTAG Pin | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GND | GND | Digital ground |
| AD0 | TCK | JTAG Return Test Clock |
| AD1 | TDI | Test Data In |
| AD2 | TDO | Test Data Out |
| AD3 | TMS | Test Mode State |
