  Description     : user-space driver for popular FTDI devices

PyFtdi aims at providing a user-space driver for popular
FTDI devices, implemented in pure Python language.

Suported FTDI devices include:
    UART and GPIO bridges
    FT232R (single port, 3Mbps)
    FT230X/FT231X/FT234X (single port, 3Mbps)
    UART and multi-serial protocols (SPI, I2C, JTAG) bridges
    FT2232C/D (dual port, clock up to 6 MHz)
    FT232H (single port, clock up to 30 MHz)
    FT2232H (dual port, clock up to 30 MHz)
    FT4232H (quad port, clock up to 30 MHz)

  Features
  PyFtdi currently supports the following features:
  UART/Serial USB converter, up to 12Mbps (depending on the FTDI device capability)
  GPIO/Bitbang support, with 8-bit asynchronous, 8-bit synchronous and 8-/16-bit MPSSE variants
  SPI master, with simultanous GPIO support, up to 12 pins per port, with support for non-byte sized transfer
  I2C master, with simultanous GPIO support, up to 14 pins per port
  Basic JTAG master capabilities
  EEPROM support (some parameters cannot yet be modified, only retrieved)
  Experimental CBUS support on selected devices, 4 pins per port
