MProg Introduction
|
|
MProg is an easy to use multiple device EEPROM programming utility for use with FTDI devices. Devices supported by the latest version of MProg are:
·FT232RL & FT232RQ
MProg is available as a free download from the Utilities page of the FTDI website.
These devices support 93C46 EEPROMs organised in 16-bit words, except for the R series devices which have an internal EEPROM. The BM and C devices also support 93C56 and 93C66 EEPROMs organised in 16-bit words. When fitted, an external EEPROM allows customisation of the device default parameters such as VID, PID, Serial Number, Manufacturer Descriptor and Product Descriptor. MProg provides a fast and simple way of programming these parameters.
A convenient way of programming the EEPROM is to use a blank device on the PCB during manufacturing assembly and program it via USB during the manufacturing test process. All these devices support direct programming over USB using a programming utility such as this one.
