Breakout boards / Re: FT2332H Why?
Yeah I think the Bus Blaster is more of what I'd want to use this chip for so seems like a perfect product there.

This is not a must have chip for everyone, and it isn't a complete tool like the bus pirate or bus blaster, but if you wanted to work with this chip, dont soolder SMd, and want something open source, then we got the breakout :)

Ian thanks for the detailed response, maybe you can add some of those details to the documentation.

I still think a JTAG header (even if its the ARM only one) would make this a much easier buy or maybe even a wing style connector with a few different JTAG connectors.

Somewhat related what's the Other OS situation with the MPSSE stuff?  I know they offer D2XX drivers for Mac/Linux but they don't seem to offer the various protocol specific DLLs for anything other then Win.

Breakout boards / FT2332H Why?
So hopefully this doesn't come out sounding like a trollish question but what's the reasoning behind the FT2332H breakout board?

For Serial logging from a micro the bus pirate seems just as good, though I'm guessing not as fast if you are running really high rates.
For i2c/SPI testing the bus pirate has all that nice firmware logic built in.
For JTAG I could see it being useful but its much less so without a 20 pin header.

The only thing I could think to use this for is if I had a design that needed USB and wanted to test out this chip for inclusion.  But then if you are at the design stage of a project why not pick a micro with USB already baked in?

OK so where am I wrong and what am I missing?  Why is this thing the best thing since sliced bread?
