I do not think the mainline codes do not support d2xx. There are
patches though but none of them have been integrated.
And frankly: they won't ever be. One of the hosting requirements on
savannah.nongnu.org is that only "free software" (in the FSF's
terminology, and by their definition of "free software") must be
provided there. Linking against D2XX would not satisfy that
condition. (Linking against libftdi is, of course, OK, as it is free
software by the FSF's definition.)
But sorry, nobody so far taught AVRDUDE about these details.
"avrftdi" is a bit-bang programmer using the MPSSE's native bit-bang
mode (on top of libftdi).
Just a little bit of my know-how from yesterday - "avrftdi" is not a
freely configurable bit-bang programmer - I wired my FT2232H module in a
wrong way (AD/AC bus exchanged) and trying to reconfigure the pins from
1,2,3 to 9,10,11 lead to no operation and a little error note that for
MPSSE those must be kept 1,2,3.
The warning message and the overall behavior of avrdude seemed like it
should go in a real bit-bang mode, but it wasn't - signals were not
present on any of the pins of the FT module. I had to patch my board for
the three signals coming from MPSSE, however the BUFF and RST could be
remapped using avrdude.conf.
