FTDI FT4222H
The FT4222H is a High/Full Speed USB2.0-to-Quad SPI/I2C device controller. Mraa supports it as a USB subplatform using the libft4222 library from FTDI which can be found here.
The FT 4222H has 4 configuration modes selected by {DCNF1, DCNF0}. The c hip configuration mode will determine the number of USB interface s for data stream s and for GPIOs control. Mraa supports only chip CNFMODE0.
Whilst mraa can support custom board in CNFMODE0 (support for other mode is welcome!) there may be some work to be done. We test using FTDI's UNFT4222EV reference board. More detail on this board can be found here.
Interface notes
You will need to unload all ftdi kernel modules for libft4222 to work correctly. You will also have to compile mraa with FT4222 support which may not be enabled by default.
