Take 5V power out from the FTDI board instead of VCC (which is 3.3V and maybe cannot provide enough current/voltage to be fed into 5V input of GOTEK).
Thanks for the idea with connecting from the 5V on the FT232 adapter. It didn’t make any difference concerning the bridge. So I have still not found a solution of my problem.
I had an idea of other things that could be wrong.
USB driver:
I was looking at a “Computer forum” and found this comment from Jeff (Link)
by correctly copy/past the password provided and using the right driver for your usb serial adapter to avoid the BSOD, this can be done in 4 minutes.
I’m asking myself “Is the USB adapter available to provide any power at all if it’s not driver recognized?”
Check Cabling:
RX -> TX
TX -> RX
Defect adapter: (Link)
This guy here solved his problem by changing the USB adapter.
Nevertheless, I brought some “Dupont cables” in different colors. I would like to take some pictures, which show my connections as documentation.
• I thought this would be a good idea because then I didn’t have to blame a bad soldering as everything would be plug!
