Using ESP32 as FTDI

[Duhjoker]

Hi guys

I need an FTDI adapter for a project I'm working on. I know that the esp32 can be used as an FTDI but I can't find any info on doing so. Do I need to flash the drivers onto the board first? Where can I find them? Which pins do I need to use?

Is there a tutorial or any thing? Any help would be appreciated

FTDI (Future Technology Devices International Limited) has dozens of chips, what exactly do you mean by "Using ESP32 as FTDI" ?

I know that the esp32 can be used as an FTDI...

Please, do share your knowledge. As far as I know, ESP32 cannot be used as none of FTDI chips, neither can it emulate any of them.

What I mean is using the ESP32 as a serial communication device or bridge to update firmware on another device. I could have swore I read that this could be done but oh well.

If you are talking about a Dev board you can tie EN to GND and use TX0 and RX0 to another device
