Breakout boards / Basic Usage Questions: FT2232 breakout board
In my case I was thinking of embeding the FT2232 breakout board into my project once I verified the basics. This project will be a one off device. I have two serial devices I want to interface to USB.
I am thinking that with the one USB connector on the breakout board that the two serial interfaces are joined and the USB connector provides them multiplexed. Not sure if this is done like a usb hub or through some other mechanism. Any insight would be appreciated.
Also, any reason the USB pins can't also be exposed on a header? This would aide in my case but I understand that what I want to do might be "abusing" the intended use.
Alternately I can just incorporate FTDI chip(s) directly as I think I don't need all the support circuitry this breakout provides.
Thanks,
John
