Unfortunately, no. Updated firmware requires the new  hardware.

Why are you not using hardware flow control? Which platform  and application
are you using?

Hi Abdul,

we modified the board to have true RS-232 output to talk to an instrument
that just has RS-232, and we are bypassing the USB chip, but our  RS-232 does
not have flow control.

This works well (with the timing loops) but I think with the new  software it
could be sped-up quite a bit.

bye,
Said

Hi Said,

In that case the new firmware will not be compatible at all. The new
hardware uses FTDI FT245R USB FIFO chip which has a parallel interface to
the micro. Host side USB drivers make it appear like a virtual serial port,
which is why all the serial port parameters can be ignored.
