We made this breakout because nobody else seems to make one (besides FTDI themselves). It helped us get to know the FT2232 before we used it in the Bus Blaster.
A breakout board with the latest 5th generation FTDI FT2232H USB 2.0 IO chip. The FT2232 is a USB to serial converter like the FT232, but with a bunch more features:
* USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s)
* 2 Independent USB to serial ports
* 2 MPSSE modules with I2C, SPI, and JTAG
* General purpose IO pins
* 3.3volts
* Supported JTAG debugger in OpenOCD, urJTAG, and others
* Multi-platform support, GPL drivers
The breakout board includes an EEPROM for custom USB descriptors and VID/PIDs.

@ian
will seeedstudio product more board, they are out of stock ...
do you have an idea when ?
We ordered another batch. We ordered early enough I still expect it before the Spring holiday in China (Feb 1), but I can't say for sure. It shoudl be pretty quick though, we ordered the second batch of MMA7455L at the same time and they were back in stock last week.
I just bought one at SeeedStudio,
I will give feedback when I will have received it in 5 to 10 days.
