#ftdi — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #ftdi, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #protonpack
    I have successfully installed the c capture code on the #raspberrypi cm5 module, and successfully captured data via the #ftdi ft600 chip using the #arm drivers for the first time. I could find no documented success on the internet confirming this works, so this is a big relief.

    Lots of other issues.

    I want to #developinpublic but my employer made me take down my work. I'll soon try to ask for a raise which I won't get. I'll try to use this as a "free" alternative they can give me.

  2. Разработали преобразователь USB — 2 RS485. Зачем?

    Хочу поделиться опытом разработки двупортового конвертора USB2RS485. Зачем изобретать повторно велосипед расскажем в статье. Посчитаем сколько потрачено.

  3. @PaulaMaddox I didn't actually post to the forums yet, but I got it working. I had the FT600 board underneath the FPGA board and it did not work. I then tried it with the FT600 board on the top (because I wanted to probe it) and then it suddenly worked with the loopback test.

    Great success for day one!

    It's not clear what the problem with in the other configuration, but that can wait till another day.

  5. I've been playing with the newer ATtiny IC recently and decided it was time to recreate #AVRFT234 (my small AVR ISP programmer using an #FTDI #FT234XD) as a low voltage #UPDI programmer. I'm calling it the #UPDIFT234 😄 .

  6. Flashprog v1.2 is dubbed Quadruped Tortoise 🎉

    Our new release is ready for / / flashing: flashprog.org/wiki/Flashprog/v

    It finally brings the first bits of multi i/o and QPI support. Owners of a SF600 will definitely want to try this! 😉 There's also a new driver for FT4222H.

    After the release is before the release, and we are currently looking for testers of new chipset support: Any testing around Intel Meteor Lake or AMD Zen 4 and beyond is most welcome!

  7. We're preparing for our next release to assist your , , hacking:

    flashprog.org/wiki/Flashprog/v

    This one should be particularly interesting for developers: With multi i/o and support, programming can be a lot faster now. There's a new driver for FT4222H USB-to-SPI bridges -- probably our fastest supported programmer -- and SF600 users benefit as well.

    Please grab the RC and test it :)

  8. We're preparing for our next release to assist your #firmware, #BIOS, #UEFI hacking:

    flashprog.org/wiki/Flashprog/v

    This one should be particularly interesting for developers: With multi i/o and #QPI support, #flash programming can be a lot faster now. There's a new driver for #FTDI FT4222H USB-to-SPI bridges -- probably our fastest supported programmer -- and #Dediprog SF600 users benefit as well.

    Please grab the RC and test it :)

  9. I decided to build a DrawBridge, an #Arduino #Amiga #Floppy Disk Reader/Writer, see here: amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/
    For this, I bought a genuine #ArduinoNano and will use one of my old PC floppy drives.
    First step was #soldering the CTS pin of the #SMD #FTDI chip to pin A2. This was a challenge because I didn't want to unsolder the pin headers which might've made it easier.
    So, I used an enameled copper wire and fiddled it through a via.
    No shorts, and least the diagnostic shows it works.

  10. Success 🥳💪🏻 Using #Vice #vsid to play a #Commodore 64 psid file over usb through an #ftdi ft2232h on a #SwinSID. Audio out via the SwinSID #pwm output back into the linein of my PC. You are hearing 16Bit Machine 🎶 from the #HVSC
    #c64 #retro #retrogames
    Added custom code to vice to support this 😎
    Also tried the the #SIDKickPico by #frntc but thats not playing clear sounds yet.
    Ps. The bits spamming past are debug prints, no worries.

  11. Got a spare #FTDI #ft2232h dev board lying around? Does it have all gpios available? Got a PC but no #Commodore64 but do have sid chips at hand? Try my adaptation of #SidBerry for FTDI to play sid files over #USB

  12. So what do you do when you want to play #commodore64 #sid tunes 🎶 on your PC but don't want to use software only?
    Today (and earlier) I made a modified version of #SidBerry by Gianluca Ghettini usinf an #FTDI #ft2232h dev board I had lying around instead of a #RaspberryPI.
    Far from finished, but the first tunes are already coming out. Source code will be available on my #Github after I tidy it up a bit!😎

  13. I learnt something about serial connections the other day.

    I want to make it so my TV automatically turns on and off with my HTPC. Since almost no desktop GPU supports HDMI-CEC I needed to look for another solution. Turns out the TV has a fully documented serial interface which allows me to control it, so I bought an FTDI usb to serial adapter.

    Unfortunately, both the TV and the adapter have male connectors (pins) so I bought a gender changer as well.

    Turns out, serial is kind of a mix between USB and Ethernet. Most of the time, it was used to connect a PC to a modem. But in my case the TV counts as a second PC. And if you want to connect a PC to another PC via serial, then you need a special crossed over "null modem" cable. So yeah, I ordered one now.

  14. Взлом аппаратного ключа методом veni, vidi, vici

    К одному очень дорогому оборудованию для работы управляющей программы нужен аппаратный ключ с зашитой датой, указывающей, когда право использования оборудования кончается. За ключи исправно платили заграничному вендору, но после санкций это стало невозможным и оборудование стало простаивать. Важно, что интернет не использовался для активации ключа. Значит всё необходимое в ключ зашито. Если корпус ключа открыть, то видна одна микросхема FT232R с небольшой обвязкой. Задача: Сделать так, чтобы можно было пользоваться оборудованием. Дистрибутив софта, требующего ключ, есть. Работает он под Windows. Просроченный ключ есть. Оборудованию около 10 лет. Ниже описан путь решения со всеми ошибками. Прочитать историю

  15. Raspberry Pi's new Debug Probe

    This is nice to see, although I already have a small collection of various USB to serial probes that goes back to actual 25 and 9-pin DIN connectors.(...)

  16. Yesterday I lost a battle against and couldn't flash firmware from UART... Maybe my module is busted or I don't have the right permissions in :manjaro: (I'm in the group uucp as far as I know) ...I'm still bitter about this

  17. Apparently it's an #FTDI driver issue that's the culprit. I'm hoping the manufacturer has a fix
