The FT232R is the latest USB-to-serial UART interface in the FTDI Chip series. Unlike the previous versions, the ft232r comes with integrated EEPROM options, the clock circuit, as well as integrated USB resistors. 

This model stands out due to the upgraded security level - a unique number is burnt into the device during manufacture. This number can be read via USB and its sole purpose is to protect customer application software from being copied.

There are VCP and D2XX drivers for the ft232r, both of which are available on this page. You can access the latest ft232 USB UART drivers by simply completing the Captcha at the bottom of this page and pressing Download. Once the download is finished, open the downloaded folder. 

The folder will contain two separate folders for VCP and D2XX drivers. Furthermore, both folders have separate files that are compatible with various OS versions. There are unique folders for each OS version, so keep that in mind when choosing the suitable one. 

Since there are several driver files that need to be updated in the process, the easiest way is to open the Device Manager. You will find the ft232r in the ‘Others’ section. Once you find it, right-click on the name and press Update the driver (see screenshot). Choose the first option and the PC will automatically find the drivers for you. It’s recommended to restart the PC after any driver update. 

When it comes to the type of driver you’re going to need, VCP and D2XX drivers hold different functions. For example, VCP (Virtual COM port) drivers are used to turn the USB device into a make-shift COM port available on the PC. This allows the software to access this USB device as a regular COM port. On the other hand, D2XX drivers allow direct access to the USB device via DLL (a series of unique command lines). 

The D2XX drivers for ft232r are compatible with: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 8, 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows CE, Windows 10, Linux, and Mac OS (9 and above). There is still no support for Windows 11. 

Additionally, the VCP drivers have support for OS versions Mac 10 and above, and Windows 7 and above, as well as Windows CE. Unfortunately, these drivers do not support the Linux operating system or Windows 11.
