Try plugging it in directly to the computer and unplugging adjacent USB
devices.

Do you have a different PC to make the attempt?

Jonathan,

I've tried it on Tinkerboard,  Jetson Nano, my Fedora Linux Lenovo, wife's
Windows 8 Lenovo.
Tinkerboard - ubuntu arm7l, Linux
Jetson Nano - aarch64, Linux
Lenovo's Intels i7 and i5.

 I am beginning to believe I blew the chip sometime.  But, it blinks like
the systems are trying to read its ID.  Without reading the ID, my systems
won't communicate with it.

Thanks,
Ken

Did you switch the jumper on the FT232 module to 3.3V?  If not, the
ft232 might be driving 5V into a pin that is expecting 3.3V.  That would
likely cause excessive current to flow from the module through a clamp
diode in the P8X32 to the 3.3V regulator.  Needless to say, this would
be problematic.

Galen,

Yes I did before I soldered it to the board.  Even checked the voltage:
3.22 V.

Thanks,
Ken

I suggest disconnecting the ft232 module from the prop board, and then
trying to connect the ft232 to a known good USB port with a known good
cable.  This should tell you whether the ft232 is functional.

Regarding drivers, I would expect any contemporary Linux kernel to
already have the appropriate driver for an FTDI USB-serial device.

I agree. There's no need to do anything to get a FTDI UART operational.

Have you asked the vendor about possible failure points?

+1

One other suggestion (wild-assed guess based on not reading your full
description) is your device might be drawing too much power?
Portland Linux/Unix Group (pdxlinux.org)
Thanks to all of you for your suggestions.  Turned out to be a bad circuit
board USB interface.  I tried another one.  It was recognized immediately.
