Review on 🔌 HiLetgo FT232RL FTDI Mini USB to TTL Serial Converter Adapter Module 3.3V 5.5V FT232R Breakout Review by Matt Morgan

Never got it to work. Tried on two different computers with two different cables. I tried plugging it into the USB 2.0 port directly on the motherboard. Tried a number of things that people suggested when googling the issue (disable USB auto-sleep, load ftdi_sio manually, enable "old scheme first"). In all cases I got stuck: ===== usb 3-2: new USB full speed device number 96 using xhci_hcdusb 3-2: read device descriptor/64, error -71usb 3-2: read device descriptor/64 , Error -71usb usb3-port2: tried to power USB 3-2: new full speed USB device number 97 with xhci_hcdusb 3-2: read device descriptor /64, error -71usb 3-2: read device descriptor /64 , Error -71usb 3-2: new USB full speed device number 98 with xhci_hcdusb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71usb usb3-port2: USB cannot -device=====Save yourself the hassle, spend a few bucks more and get a genuine part.
