It develops, manufactures, and supports devices and their related cables and software drivers for converting RS-232 or TTL serial transmissions to and from USB signals, in order to provide support for legacy devices with modern computers.[2]
On 29 September 2014, FTDI released an updated version of their USB-to-Serial driver for Windows on their website.[4] Users who manually downloaded the new drivers reported problems.[5] After Windows drivers became available on 14 October (Patch Tuesday) via Windows Update, it was reported by users of hardware enthusiast forums and websites that the drivers could soft-brick counterfeit and software-compatible clones of the chips by changing their USB "Product ID" to "0000". The change prevents the chip from being recognised by drivers of any OS, effectively making them inoperable unless the product ID is changed back.[6] The behaviour was supported by a notice in the drivers' end user license agreement, which warned that use of the drivers with non-genuine FTDI products would "irretrievably damage" them.[6] Critics felt that FTDI's actions were unethical, considering that users may be unaware that their chips were counterfeit, or that Windows had automatically installed a driver meant to disable them.[7][6][5][8] On 22 October 2014, an emergency patch was made to the FTDI drivers in the Linux kernel to recognise devices with the "0000" ID.[9]

In February 2016, it was reported that FTDI had published another driver on Windows Update with DRM components intended to block non-genuine products. This time, the driver will communicate with affected devices, but all transmitted and received data is replaced with the looped ASCII string "NON GENUINE DEVICE FOUND!", which could cause irregular interactions with devices.[11][12]
With the release of OS X Mavericks, the AppleUSBFTDI kernel driver is included. This driver will affect existing applications that under OS X 10.8 and earlier, use the Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) D2XX libraries to communicate with hardware devices that are based on the FTDI USB-to-serial chipset. This Technical Note discusses the new Apple driver, how it affects these FTDI D2XX based applications and what alternatives such applications can implement as solutions for OS X Mavericks and beyond.
Under OS X Mavericks, the AppleUSBFTDI kext will perform the same function as does the FTDI kext. When the hardware is attached, the AppleUSBFTDI kext is matched, and it will create a BSD serial port for applications to open. The Apple kext provides a BSD device name similar to the name provided by the FTDI driver. However, device name differences may occur and functionality may be slightly different. If the application fails to work with the hardware using the Apple driver, the preferred solution is update the application to work with the Apple driver. An application should use the IOKit framework APIs to detect the presence of the attached hardware and to identify the device name as demonstrated in the SerialSample code. If after opening the serial port there are driver options that fail with the Apple driver, please submit a bug report.
The recommended long term solution is to modify the application to open the BSD layer serial port for communication with the FTDI hardware. A short term solution is to implement a codeless kext, that will have a higher match priority than the AppleUSBFTDI kext to prevent IOKit from matching the AppleUSBFTDI kernel level driver to the hardware. An important ramification of the codeless kext solution is that an Installer process will be required to install the codeless kext. Under OS X Mavericks, the codeless kext must be signed.
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
I bought four of these to use in an automated testing setup. The USB to serial adpaters that I had used previously would not load drivers correctly when used with certain computers. These adapters work perfectly with windows 7 and retain their com port assignment. These adapters do precisely what they claim to do, I highly reccomend them.
I use the device to connect legacy serial-interface GPS hardware and two-way radio modems to a laptop in my car. This is a notoriously noisy electrical environment, with all the electrical/electronic devices, alternator hash, etc. This device has been absolutely rock solid with none of the hiccups, random disconnects, etc I've had with other such cables.
Works with windows 10 and server 2012I needed these for work as I have a pile of USB to serial adapters that do not work for whatever reason probably drivers. This works. I did have to use the supplied drivers on CD to 2012 servers but this is a improvement from the others I have bought. Recommended.
This tutorial provides hands-on information about how to develop device drivers for the Oracle Solaris Operating System. This book includes step-by-step descriptions of writing, building, installing, loading, and testing real device drivers. These instructions help you understand how drivers control devices. This book also gives an overview of the driver development environment, tools available to you to develop drivers, and techniques for avoiding some driver development problems.
This book provides information on developing drivers for character-oriented devices, block-oriented devices, USB devices, and SCSI target and HBA devices for the Oracle Solaris Operating System. This book discusses how to develop multithreaded reentrant device drivers for all architectures that conform to the Oracle Solaris DDI/DKI. A common driver programming approach is described that allows drivers to be written without concern for platform-specific issues such as endianness and data ordering.
Oracle Solaris supports Digi InsideOut Networks' devices and recently, KeySpan and Prolific chipset based devices' support were also integrated to Oracle Solaris. Keyspan and Prolific USB serial drivers are available in Oracle Solaris 11 and in Oracle Solaris 10 Update 2 and later. PL2303 chip based adapters and Keyspan USA-19HS adapter are available as part of Oracle Solaris 10 Update 2. Keyspan USA-49WLC adapter is supported in Oracle Solaris 11 and in Oracle Solaris 10 update 3 and later releases.
First, run prtconf -D and check the device id. The device id may look like: usbif1608,1.config1.0 Check the file /etc/driver_aliases if this id exists in it. If it does not, then run the following command as root: update_drv -a -i "usbif1608,1.config1.0" usbser_edgeYou may want to reboot the machine. Some of the (Eg. latest Edgeport 8 and Edgeport 416) devices based on the latest TI chipset have been reported to not work correctly with the existing Oracle Solaris 10 driver.
This is a known issue in which there are not enough ehci/ohci resources to support two Edgeport 416 devices. Opening some of the serial devices may return errno 6. A workaround has been discovered by adding the following lines to /etc/system and rebooting the system:
Keyspan and Prolific USB serial drivers are available in Oracle Solaris 11 and in Oracle Solaris 10 Update 2 and later. PL2303 chip based adapters and Keyspan USA-19HS adapter are supported. Keyspan USA-49WLC adapter is supported in Oracle Solaris 10 Update 3 and Oracle Solaris 11. Prolific PL2303HX (Chip Rev D) is supported in Oracle Solaris 10 Update 4 and Oracle Solaris 11.
There are many usb-to-serial devices in the market that are based on Prolific chipsets. The Oracle Solaris usbsprl(7D) driver supports three kinds of Prolific chip sets: PL2303H, PL2303HX and PL2303X. These devices might have different vendor ids or product ids, for example, the ids of ATEN's UC-232A USB-to-serial (557,2008) are different with the ones from Prolific (67b,2303). For unknown devices, if they don't work by just plugging to the box, there is a way to determine if they could work with usbsprl driver. Plug the device and find out the vendor/product ids by looking for "usb" and the device related strings in the output of prtconf(1M):
In Oracle Solaris 10, manual setup of ugen is required. In Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle Solaris 10 Update 2 (and later releases), any USB device without a class driver which is bound to usb_mid(7D) driver will export a ugen interface by default and will therefore work with libusb(3LIB). Other drivers that also export ugen interfaces include scsa2usb(7D) and usbprn(7D). So devices bound to these drivers should all work with libusb without manual binding of ugen driver. Refer to the General section for "libusb should just work" patch.
The ICUSB2321F 1-Port USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with FTDI chipset and COM Retention converts an available USB 1.1 or 2.0 port into an RS232 serial DB9 port to connect, monitor and control your serial devices.

You can plug our adapter in and click update drivers from Windows and it will automatically download the drivers directly from Microsoft. The Drivers are fully certified.
the driver is incorrect,ftdi driver is for Future Technology Devices the driver for prolific chip is pl2303 so you would need add the correct module to the kernel using insmod pl2303 or modprobe pl2303, but also confirm that vendor and product are correct according to the id table on the .c driver file, for some devices prolific does not support "fake copies" of the integrated circuits and you will need a patch or just add your vendor and product id numbers to it then compile it and remove the previous driver using rmmod pl2303 or modprobe -r pl2303. In order to get your vendor and product use lsusb, some times the ttyUSBn device is not created so you will need to created mknode and then chmod 666 2ff7e9595c
