How to restore FT2232 EEPROM back to factory settings?

[mixsemi]

Hi Everyone,

Just accidentally flashed the EEPROM attached to the FT2232 device on the Arty. The board is dead without the USB connection. Been using for 2 months without issues until today.

In Vivado it is showing:

 "ERROR: [Labtoolstcl 44-469] There is no current hw_target.". 

when trying to Auto Connect with the target in Hardware Manager.

Within FT_Prog (FTDI's flash tool), the registers (e.g. serial number, vendor ID, D2XX/VCP driver ...) can all be read and modified. How can it be restored back to Digilent factory setting? Is there an FT_Prog template that we can use?

Thanks,

Robin

Hi Robin,

I am tagging the engineer( @Bianca ) that has been handling most of the issues with the EEPROM to this thread. 

cheers,

Hi @Felippe,

Unfortunately, that particular Xilinx board, at least as far as I am able to determine from the VCU129 User Guide and BOM, does not use a Digilent JTAG programming solution. Correspondingly, Digilent does not have the ability nor image to restore the default state of the EEPROM; you will need to reach out to Xilinx for assistance on restoring functionality.

If Xilinx is able to help you out, if you could let us know how that went in this thread so future users have a paper trail to follow for their own efforts, that would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
JColvin

Dear Jon,

Thank you.

We went ahead and purchased another Arty from Digilent yesterday as it is gating our project. However, if Bianca can help bring back a dead Arty, it will be awesome.

Regards,

Robin

Hi,

I'm having the same exact problem as @mixsemi i accidentally erased EEPROM attached to the FT2232 device on the Arty.

i used the FT_PROG utility provided by the FTDI (http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#FT_PROG) to change the driver from "Virtual Com Port" to "D2XX Direct" to test an application that i am developing in my ARTY board.

After that my arty is no longer recognized by Vivado hw manager. It's state remains unconnected while arty is plugged and all power leds are ON.

Before using the FT_Prog utility arty was working perfect in Vivado.

In the Device Manager of windows i can see two USB serial converters A & B while i think before using the FT_Prog it was Digilent USB converter or something like that.

Is there something i can do to fix this?

BR,

skakon

PS1: i had followed the solutions provided here without success

Hi JColvin,

I'm having the same problem as skakon . i accidentally erased EEPROM attached to the FT2232 device.

please guide me to restore EEPROM.

Hi

I have a JTAG-SMT3-NC , Unfortunately  I erase the eeprom on the board with FT_prog accidentally, 

And Now VIVADO can not find the FPGA, can anyone help me to reconfig the eeprom?

Thanks

Hi @david bowie,

I'll have to reach out to some other engineers to see if I can get the correct reprogramming application; the current one that I have does not have direct support for the JTAG-SMT3-NC.

Hello,

I was programming an external ft232h board, forgot to uncheck the digilent HS2 when I was programming it. How can I restore the HS2 programmer?

Hello everybody,

I am having the same problem the Digilent HS2. Accidentally changed the configuration and Impact is no more able to recognize it.

Please, can you help me in some way? Thanks in advance

I accidentally overwrote the firmware of the JTAG HS2 cable.  After the accident, JTAG HS2 cable is not recognized.

I don't know what to do.

Can  you help me ?

Hi,

 

Same problem here, my board was working perfectly until I erase it accidentally with FT_PROG. How can I recover it ?

 

Thanks
