## Historique du projet et usages

libftdi is Intra2net’s open-source userspace library for communicating with FTDI USB serial and FIFO chips through libusb, including bitbang and EEPROM tooling.

### Historique du projet

The official libFTDI page describes the library as a way to talk to FTDI chips from userspace with no kernel driver required, supporting chip families from FT8U232/FT8U245 through FT230X, FT232R, FT245R, FT2232, and FT4232H. Intra2net’s repository page identifies master as the libusb 1.0 development branch and libftdi-0.x as the legacy libusb 0.x branch.

The project’s official news records libftdi 1.3 on 2016-05-20, 1.4 on 2017-08-07, and 1.5 on 2020-07-07. Those releases added USB string APIs, transfer cancellation, EEPROM configuration improvements, FT230X baud-rate handling, kernel driver auto attach and detach, tcflush-style APIs, SPDX identifiers, Python wrapper improvements, and CMake improvements.

### Historique d'adoption

libftdi became common in hardware development because it avoided vendor-only driver stacks for FTDI adapters while still supporting popular serial, FIFO, and bitbang use cases. Its package presence across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, MacPorts, Nix, and other distributions reflects broad embedded, lab, and board-bringup usage.

### Modes d'utilisation

Applications link libftdi to enumerate and communicate with FTDI devices through libusb. The package also ships ftdi_eeprom for EEPROM decoding and programming, with release notes calling out repeated EEPROM handling improvements.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

libftdi is a small but important hardware-enablement package: it gives distributions a Free Software path for FTDI chips without forcing every electronics tool to vendor its own USB code. It is also a packaging reminder that command-line EEPROM utilities, Python bindings, libusb transitions, and kernel-driver detach behavior are part of the real ABI users care about.

### Chronologie

- 2016-05-20: Intra2net news records libftdi 1.3.
- 2017-08-07: Intra2net news records libftdi 1.4.
- 2020-07-07: Intra2net news records libftdi 1.5.
- 2026: The official repository page still documents master for libusb 1.0 development and libftdi-0.x for legacy libusb 0.x code.

### Related projects

- libusb provides the portable USB access layer used by libftdi.
- The Linux ftdi_sio kernel driver is the kernel-space counterpart that many libftdi workflows deliberately bypass or detach from.
