NAME


ftdi_eeprom - Tool for reading/erasing/flashing FTDI USB chip eeproms

SYNOPSIS


ftdi_eeprom [commands] config-file

DESCRIPTION


ftdi_eeprom is a small tool for reading/erasing/flashing FTDI USB chip eeproms. It uses
libftdi to access the chip, so you will need to have the required permissions on the
device.

The ftdi_sio module should not be loaded. You can prevent it to be automatically loaded by
adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

You have to unplug and replug your device to get the new values to be read. Otherwise,
you will still get the old values.

COMMANDS


--read-eeprom
Read eeprom and write to ‐filename‐ from config-file.

--erase-eeprom
Erase eeprom.

--flash-eeprom
Flash eeprom.

CONFIGURATION FILE


The configuration file contains a list of key-value pairs which will be used to flash an
FTDI USB chip eeprom. Comments start with #. The beginning of such a file might look like
the following:

vendor_id=0x0403 # Vendor ID
product_id=0x6001 # Product ID

max_power=0 # Max. power consumption: value * 2 mA. Use 0 if self_powered = true.

###########
# Strings #
###########
manufacturer="ACME Inc" # Manufacturer
product="USB Serial Converter" # Product
serial="08-15" # Serial

hexadecimal form, and should be in the range 0-65535 or 0x0000-0xffff,
