Package d2xx is a thin Go wrapper for the Future Technology "D2XX" driver at https://ftdichip.com/drivers/d2xx-drivers/.
This package is not Go idiomatic. You will want to use https://periph.io/x/host/v3/ftdi (or later) instead.
But if you really want, here it goes:
This Go package includes third party software. See third_party/README.md.
See https://periph.io/device/ftdi/ to configure the host to be able to use this driver.
On darwin_amd64, linux_amd64 linux_arm (v6, v7 compatible) and linux_arm64 (v8),
cgo is required. If cgo is disabled (via CGO_ENABLED=0), all functions in this
driver return error NoCGO.
On Windows, cgo is not required. If the dynamic library is not found at runtime, Missing is returned.
On linux_arm (v6), hard-float is required. For cross compilation, this means arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc is preferred to arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc. Using hardfloat causes a segfault on Raspberry Pi 1, Zero and Zero Wireless. It is recommended to disable this driver if targeting these hosts, see below.
To disable this driver, build with tag no_d2xx, e.g.
go install -tags no_d2xx periph.io/x/cmd/gpio-list@latest
This will behave has if cgo was disabled, even on Windows.
