Introduction

FTDI provides two alternative software interfaces for its range of USB-UART and USB-FIFO ICs. One interface provides a Virtual COM Port (VCP) which appears to the system as a legacy COM port. The second interface, D2XX, is provided via a proprietary DLL (FTD2XX. DLL). The D2XX interface provides special functions that are not available in standard operating system COM port APIs, such as setting the device into a different mode or writing data into the device EEPROM.
In the case of the FTDI drivers for Windows, the D2XX driver and VCP driver are distributed in the same driver package, called the Combined Driver Model (CDM) package. Figure 2.1 Windows CDM Driver Architecture illustrates the architecture of the Windows CDM driver.

For Linux, Mac OS X (10.4 and later) and Windows CE (4.2 and later) the D2XX driver and VCP driver are mutually exclusive options as only one driver type may be installed at a given time for a given device ID. In the case of a Windows system running the CDM driver, applications may use either the D2XX or VCP interface without installing a different driver but may not use both interfaces at the same time.
As the VCP driver interface is designed to emulate a legacy COM port, FTDI does not provide documentation on how to communicate with the VCP driver from an application; the developer is referred to the large amount of material available on the Internet regarding serial communication.
The D2XX interface is a proprietary interface specifically for FTDI devices. This document provides an explanation of the functions available to application developers via the FTD2XX library.
