New module for programming, debugging and EFUSE burning

The Future Technology Devices International UMFTPD2A, available from RS Components, is a module with an FT4232HL Hi-Speed USB2.0 to multipurpose UART/MPSSE converter. The module features a single line half-duplex UART signal with no handshake (one-wire interface), one MPSSE interface, one UART interface and a Bit-Bang port. The module has configured the FT4232HL channel A as a UMFTPD2A one-wire interface for MM900EVxA evaluation board firmware / application download, or GDB debugging. The channel B is configured as a MPSSE interface with 4 GPIO control signals. This allows the UMFTPD2A to implement MM900EVxA evaluation board EFUSE program, or firmware / application upload as well. The channel C is optional. It is configured as a UART that can capture the messages from MM900EVxA evaluation board in software debugging. The channel D is reserved as a Big-Bang interface for generic GPIO purposes. The FT90x program utility can activate the required channels corresponding to the operations.
