To code computer side usbgecko application you need :

== Windows Side Application Programming ==
 +
For Win32 : [http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm API] [http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/ProgramGuides/D2XXPG34.pdf DOC]

The USB Gecko will usually be recognized as a USB to serial port converter and a device file of the form
 +
/dev/ttyUSB0
 +
will appear. Simply writing to and reading from this device file will send data across the USBGecko link.

* For Linux : [http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/ API] [http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/documentation/group__libftdi.html DOC]

Failing that, userspace tools could use the libusb library and usb_bulk_write and usb_bulk_read functions. The USBGecko will appear as 0403:6001 in the lsusb output.
