I was playing around with the USB2DMX device and was wondering if it can be used in OLA on Raspberry PI 3 running Raspberry Pi OS 10 (a.k.a. Raspbian 10).
It is detected correctly, dmesg logs this:

OLA Service is installed via the bundled packages (Version 0.10.7)
Plugging in the USB device and only selecting the FTDI USB plugin it shows this in syslog:

With a simple patch of plugins/ftdidmx/FtdiWidget.cpp, by adding the vendor JMS fixed this issue as we can see here:
