Rust safe wrapper for the FTDI D2XX drivers.
This takes the libftd2xx-ffi C bindings crate and extends it with rust safe wrappers.
Simply add this crate as a dependency in your Cargo.toml.
[dependencies.libftd2xx]
version = "~0.28.0"
# statically link the vendor library, defaults to dynamic if not set
# this will make things "just work" on Linux
# not recommended on Windows due to legacy library requirements
features = ["static"]This is a basic example to get your started. Check the source code or documentation for more examples.
use libftd2xx::{Ftdi, FtdiCommon};
let mut ft = Ftdi::new()?;
let info = ft.device_info()?;
println!("Device information: {:?}", info);This crate is just a wrapper around the FTD2XX driver; I2C, SPI, and GPIO
examples using the embedded-hal traits can be found in
ftd2xx-embedded-hal.
To access the FTDI USB device as a regular user on Linux you need to update the udev rules.
Create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ftdi.rules with:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6011", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6014", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", MODE="0666"
Then, reload the rules:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm triggerBy default this crate with use dynamic linking for the vendor library.
Use the static feature flag to enable static linking.
The shared object libftd2xx.so must exist on your system.
See FTDI Drivers Installation Guide for Linux for instructions.
No special considerations are needed, the static library is distributed with permission from FTDI in the libftd2xx-ffi crate.
The FTD2XX DLL must exist on your system PATH. The easiest way to install this is with the vendor provided setup executable.
You must set the "LIBMSVC_PATH" environment variable to link with
legacy_stdio_definitions.lib (vendor library requirement).
See libftd2xx-ffi for more information.
Remove the VCP FTDI driver.
