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 @Zhikh,

I have sent you a PM.

I've the same problem. By mistake I programmed the eeprom and my arty fpga. Now, vivado can't detect it.

Hi JColvin,

I accidentally erased my FT4232H on a Linux system!

§ lsusb | grep f       

The system sees the device with ID ffff:fffff 

And when I try to scan in Ft_Prog I see “no devices found”
Can you please PM me instructions to correct it? Thanks

[JColvin]

Hello,

I have sent you a PM with an additional question on which Digilent device you were using with the FT4232H.

I will note though that Digilent's solution for fixing an overwritten EEPROM on an FTDI chip is Windows only and that there is no intention (I've asked the developer several times over the years) to make a Linux solution.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hi JColvin,

I'm having the similar problem. I accidentally erased EEPROM on Zybo Z7-10.

Could you help me to restore the EEPROM?

Thanks.

@JColvin @jpeyronCan you send me a PM, too? I mis-programmed EEPROM by FT_PROG, too. Thank you very much!

[JColvin]

Hi @Cosmo,

Which Digilent device do you have so I can get you the correct instructions?

Thanks,

Just accidentally flashed the EEPROM attached to the FT2232 device on the Arty A7.

Please could you help me to restore the EEPROM?

@JColvin I am attempting to flash the EEPROM attached to the FT2232 device on a board with a Zynq7000 series chip. I have already configured the EEPROM with what I believe are the write settings (Port A to D2XX direct). I am trying to use Vivado's program_ftdi to read in if there is any connected device. The program_ftdi feature is finding the device so I believe something is wrong with the EEPROM attached to the FT2232 device and I would like to set that to the proper settings so that Vivado can detect the target chip

[JColvin]

Hi @sethkbelt,

Unfortunately, Digilent's solution to reprogram EEPROM is only intended for Digilent boards. We do not offer any support for setting up the EEPROM or FTDI chips on for non-Digilent devices.

Thanks,

Hi JColvin,

I'm having the similar problem. I accidentally erased EEPROM of FT2232H on Nexys4 DDR.

And now my Vivado connot recognize FPGA.

Could you help me to restore the EEPROM?

Thanks.

Hi

I have the same problem.
I accidentally erased the EEPROM of the FT2232H in Gensys2
How can I restore the EEPROM?

Thanks.

@jpeyron, I see that you have been responding to a lot of people with solutions to this. 

I have the same problem! Would you or anyone be able to help me with this? I need to configure the eeprom on the FTDI FT2212H device for JTAG to be recognized by Vivado.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I am using ZedBoard Zynq-7000 and after I use FT_PROG to change the FTDI232H "Manufacturer" string, the board no longer recognized by Vivado.

Could someone help me to recover the FTDI EEPROM info.  

Thanks.

I have also messed up my cmod-a7 35t.  Would it be possible to get the instructions also to restore the EEPROM?

 

Thanks.

Hello,

We have a CMOD S7 board no more recognized by Adept software nor Xilinx.

We would like to make sure the FTDI eeprom is ok.

Could you please provide the procedure to restore FTDI eeprom factory settings?

Thanks !

Hi  @JColvin

I'm having the similar problem. I have the JTAG-SMT Digilent usb JTAG module in VC707, and it can't detect by Vivado and Adept, I suspect that I accidentally erased the EEPROM on the module. Is there any way to reprogram the JTAG programmer EEPROM?

Could you help me to restore the EEPROM?

Thanks.

[JColvin]

Hi @ez4game,

I have sent you a PM on how to restore the SMT1 present on the VC707.

Thanks,

Hi JColvin! Can I ask solution for Cmod A7-35T? Tried to restore FTDI EEPROM by utility "program_ftdi" using image of another board, but it doesn't help. :(

Thank you!
