FT311D dev board and USB C on a Galaxy S9 #2

I'm still reading about how I should be able to get this to work, but I will detail what I have so far.

I have one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm//332671609701 and I have plugged the phone into the USB A (female) port using a regular USB C (male) to USB A (male) cable. This does nothing because the board is not powered from the phone that way. I have plugged the board into a regular wall-based phone charger into the USB micro B (female) port and the LED lights up and my phone recognizes the device. It states that no application is installed to use the accessory and links me to ftdichip.com (so I know it's connected and reading the right chip VID:PID). PodEmu still says disconnected and PodMode says 'accessory attached' followed by 'model is not matched' which also tells me that it is connected and recognized but the phone is just choosing to do nothing with the device. I suspect that I have to change the device name to work with PodMode (by using the developer tools from ftdi and hacking together a 'null modem' usb cable from an ft232) but I expected it to work with PodEmu.

never mind, I enabled developer options and saw I needed to ground g2 and g1 to put it in serial mode. I'm dumb, but once I get it fully working I'll do a writeup to make it obvious to other people.
