libftd3xx
Rust safe wrapper for the FTDI D3XX drivers.
This takes the libftd3xx-ffi C bindings crate and extends it with rust safe wrappers.
Usage
Simply add this crate as a dependency in your Cargo.toml
.
[dependencies.libftd3xx]
version = "0.0.1"
# statically link the vendor library, defaults to dynamic if not set
# this will make things "just work" on Linux and Windows
features = ["static"]
This is a basic example to get your started. Check the source code or documentation for more examples.
use libftd3xx::{Ftdi, FtdiCommon};
let mut ft = Ftdi::new()?;
let info = ft.device_info()?;
println!("Device information: {:?}", info);
This crate is just a wrapper around the FTD3XX driver; I2C, SPI, and GPIO
examples using the embedded-hal
traits can be found in
ftdi-embedded-hal
.
udev rules
To access the FTDI USB device as a regular user on Linux you need to update the udev rules.
Create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ftdi.rules
with:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6011", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6014", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", MODE="0666"
Then, reload the rules:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
Linking
By default this crate with use dynamic linking for the vendor library.
Use the static
feature flag to enable static linking.
Dynamic Linking on Linux
The shared object libftd3xx.so
must exist on your system.
See FTDI Drivers Installation Guide for Linux for instructions.
Dynamic Linking on Windows
The FTD3XX DLL must exist on your system PATH. The easiest way to install this is with the vendor provided [setup executable].
Static Linking on Linux or Windows
No special considerations are needed, the static library is distributed with permission from FTDI in the libftd3xx-ffi crate.

Troubleshooting
Unknown Device on Linux
Remove the VCP FTDI driver.
