As of this writing the S configuration is the default shipping -one, but this situation may change in the future. The difference between the -two configs is in the USB VID:PID presented by the USB device, and this USB ID -difference has the following practical impact: - -* The C configuration presents a custom USB ID and requires a custom patch to - the Linux kernel ftdi_sio driver in order to work - without this ftdi_sio - driver patch it won't work at all. But if you do go through the pain of - applying the needed patch to your Linux kernel ftdi_sio driver, the reward - is that you get not only the two Calypso UARTs, but also working boot control - outputs. - -* The S configuration presents the default FT2232x USB ID and is therefore - supported out of the box by the standard Linux ftdi_sio driver without needing - any patches. However, the adapter's CTL1 and CTL2 outputs cannot be used in - this configuration (they will be bogusly asserted whenever Channel B ttyUSB - device is opened), and thus they must be left unconnected, and you don't get - to play with the remote boot control feature. - -The physical hardware is identical between the two configurations, only the -EEPROM programming changes, thus end users need to be able to switch freely -between the two EEPROM configs as they wish. This article explains how to -program the EEPROM back and forth between the two configs. - -Determining your current DUART28 config -======================================= - -Connect the USB cable between your DUART28 board and your Linux host, and -observe dmesg output. If your DUART28 board is in the C configuration, it will -present as USB ID 0403:7152, and if it is in the S config, it will present as -USB ID 0403:6010. You can also see these USB IDs with lsusb. The product ID -string is also programmed as "DUART28C" or "DUART28S". +This article has moved; the new location is: -Converting from DUART28S to DUART28C -==================================== - -If your DUART28 board is currently in the S config, its USB ID will be -0403:6010, which is the default ID for FTDI's two-channel FT2232x family. -Because it is the standard default, there are plenty of other gadgets using the -same ID - thus you need to ensure that you have no other USB devices with the -same ID connected to your system during the reprogramming operation. Run lsusb -and ensure that you see only one USB device with ID 0403:6010. Ensure that this -one device really is your DUART28 board: unplug that USB cable and make sure -that the device disappears, plug it back in and make sure that it reappears. - -One you have confirmed that you won't inadvertently hit some other FT2232x -device, execute the actual programming command as follows (from the top -directory of this code repository): - -ftee-gen2232c eeproms/duart28c $Serial | fteeprom-prog i:0x0403:0x6010 - -(See FTDI-EEPROM-tools article for other ways to specify the target device to - fteeprom-prog.) - -Replace the $Serial metavariable with the 3-digit serial number of your DUART28 -adapter board as it appears on the factory serial number sticker. - -After this operation completes successfully, unplug and replug the USB cable -between the DUART28 board and your host - the adapter should now show up with -USB ID 0403:7152. - -Converting from DUART28C to DUART28S -==================================== - -If your DUART28 board is currently in the C config, its USB ID will be -0403:7152, which is a private ID that belongs to us and should not be used by -other parties. The reverse conversion command is as follows: - -ftee-gen2232c eeproms/duart28s $Serial | fteeprom-prog i:0x0403:0x7152 +https://www.freecalypso.org/hg/fc-usbser-tools/file/tip/doc/DUART28-EEPROM-config
