PyFtdi aims at providing a user-space driver for popular FTDI devices, implemented in pure Python language.

Suported FTDI devices include:

UART and GPIO bridges
- FT232R (single port, 3Mbps)
- FT230X/FT231X/FT234X (single port, 3Mbps)
UART, GPIO and multi-serial protocols (SPI, I2C, JTAG) bridges
- FT2232C/D (dual port, clock up to 6 MHz)
- FT232H (single port, clock up to 30 MHz)
- FT2232H (dual port, clock up to 30 MHz)
- FT4232H (quad port, clock up to 30 MHz)
- FT4232HA (quad port, clock up to 30 MHz)

PyFtdi currently supports the following features:

UART/Serial USB converter, up to 12Mbps (depending on the FTDI device capability)
GPIO/Bitbang support, with 8-bit asynchronous, 8-bit synchronous and 8-/16-bit MPSSE variants
SPI master, with simultanous GPIO support, up to 12 pins per port, with support for non-byte sized transfer
I2C master, with simultanous GPIO support, up to 14 pins per port
Basic JTAG master capabilities
EEPROM support (some parameters cannot yet be modified, only retrieved)
Experimental CBUS support on selected devices, 4 pins per port
