iOS support for µFR Series hardware

For iOS, we provide the µFR Series hardware library for iOS, the APIs, and other documentation related to hardware, as well as all the necessary technical support for your project development.   As for the development tools and executable software solutions, the current iOS compliant SDK is available at our GitLab repository and the two apps at App Store.  The SDK is compliant with all the µFR Series devices, while one of two available iOS apps is developed for the µFR Nano Online reader exclusively.

If the FTDI device not detected by MacOS, how to solve the problem

The FTDI device is not detected by macOS. Check out how to solve the problem. Check the FTDI drivers’ installation If the macOS cannot detect the Digital Logic FTDI device, please check if you have installed the drivers properly. Follow the FTDI drivers installation manual for your operating system and make sure you have selected the proper D2XX and VCP drivers for your hardware architecture. Install FTDI drivers on macOS Download the driver from the D2XX Drivers section of the FTDI website and save it to the hard disk. The driver is provided in disk image (.dmg) format. Mount the disk image by double-clicking on the PPC D2XX0.1.0.dmg icon for Power PC users or the Universal D2XX0.1.0.dmg icon for Intel Mac users. Start a Terminal session (Go > Applications > Utilities > Terminal) Copy libftd2xx.0.1.0.dylib to /usr/local/lib directory (cp Desktop/D2XX/bin/libftd2xx.0.1.0 /usr/local/lib) Change the directory to /usr/local/lib (cd /usr/local/lib) Create a symbolic link to the library (ln -sf libftd2xx.0.1.0.dylib libftd2xx.dylib) Samples written in C are provided to show how to use the library and verify the installation. These are command-line-based applications that must be executed from the Terminal window. To compile and run the samples perform the following steps (these assume you...

FTDI device unrecognized on Linux OS

The FTDI device is not recognized by the Linux operating system? To fix this issue, you can perform the following: Check the FTDI drivers’ installation If the Linux OS is unable to recognize the Digital Logic FTDI device, please ensure that the drivers have been properly installed. Follow your operating system’s FTDI driver installation manual and ensure you’ve chosen the appropriate D2XX and VCP drivers for your hardware architecture. Grant USB access to local users Download and run the USB permissions script for Linux to grant the FTDI device access to local users (user group). Blacklist the ftdi_sio and usbserial modules Check if  ftdi_sio and usbserial modules are loaded.  If so, disable them : lsmod –  – Module Size Used by –  – ftdi_sio 26993 0 – – usbserial 21409 1 ftdi_sio sudo rmmod ftdi_sio usbserial sudo rmmod ftdi_sio usbserial To make this change permanent, blacklist modules in the /modprobe.d/ftdi.conf file. Edit ftdi.conf file: sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/ftdi.conf Add the following code and save the changes: #disable auto load FTDI modules – D-LOGIC blacklist ftdi_sio blacklist usbserial  

Can µFR devices be used in OpenWRT projects?

OpenWRT (OPEN Wireless Router) is an open-source project for embedded operating systems based on Linux, primarily used on embedded devices to route network traffic. The application of µFR Series devices in OpenWRT projects has not yet been tested. Since these devices have full support for Linux and Linx based environments (eg Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, etc), the implementation on OpenWRT should theoretically be easy to achieve. Even though the MIPS libraries were not compiled yet, the ARM and x86 libraries can be used for these projects’ development. Find out more on https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/platforms.
