TIAO USB Multi-Protocol Adapter (TUMPA)¶

The TIAO USB Multi Protocol Adapter (TUMPA) is a multi-functional USB communication adapter for hobbyists or engineers. The adapter is based on FDTI’s flagship communication chip FT2232H, a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It has two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) which allow for communication using JTAG, I2C and SPI on two channels simultaneously. Official reference can be found here.

Configuration ¶

You can configure debugging tool using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = tumpa

If you would like to use this tool for firmware uploading, please change upload protocol:

[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = tumpa
upload_protocol = tumpa

More options:

Drivers ¶

Windows:: See https://community.platformio.org/t/esp32-pio-unified-debugger/4541/20
Mac:: macOS contains default FTDIUSBSerialDriver driver which conflicts with debug tools which are based on this chip. FTDI Chip company recommends removing this default driver from a system. Everything should work after system rebooting. See detailed instruction in official application note (Page 16, Section 4: Uninstalling FTDI Drivers on OS X) AN134: FTDI Drivers Installation guide for MAC OS X
Linux:: Please install “udev” rules 99-platformio-udev.rules. If you already installed them before, please check that your rules are up-to-date or repeat steps.
