Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I went through the FTDI link posted on the previous reply and it seems to be a single USB controller chip. Are there any additional hardware that needs to be soldered on to a PCB to make the DE0 Nano <-> FTDI chip interface work, or are there any ready to use FTDI modules available on Digikey or Sparkfun? If so could you kindly post the link?

Thanks,

Nanda
