You just need to make an adapter and attach the Tx -> Rx, Rx -> Tx, and the power and ground wires.

Download Ucenter from UBLOX website.
There are more details in the APM wiki.

  Thank you for your reply.
  
  Do I need to worry about the voltage difference/compatibility between Ublox, FTDI and USB port?
