I need to implement Device manager for some card with FTDI chip.
We are looking into JAVA or C#, and we need to use it for transferring vedio using SPI.
Do we need to use FTDI DLL for java or C#?
Can we encounter serious problems implementing this in java ?
I have used the direct connection with the FTDI DLL using both Java and C#. For Java I have used ftd2xxj, even contributed some extensions to that. Works very and seems actively being maintained. I switched to C# 2 years ago and I’m using the wrapper provided by FTDI FTDI C# Wrapper. This also works perfectly, and I would say using one of these libraries is the recommended way to connect to your device instead of using a serial port connection. You can tune a lot of things such as the latency on the USB port and packet buffer sizes and such. I can imagine this can come in handy with video.
The Java option is fully open-source and business friendly, the C# version is provided as is without any restrictions to redistribute etc.
