Devices function (FT_ListDevices) allows the application software to determine which devices are
currently available for use, again by product description or by serial number.
Download FTDI Application Notes AN232-03, AN232-05, AN232-06 and AN232-07 for detailed
instructions on how to install and remove the drivers.
3.0 EEPROM WRITE UTILITY
The DLP-2232MSPF has the option to accept manufacturer-specific information that is written into on-
board EEPROM memory. Parameters that can be programmed include the VID and PID identifiers,
the manufacturer's product string or a serial number.
MPROG is an EEPROM serializer from FTDI for the FT2232H device. MPROG is based on the new
D2XX drivers and will work on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows 2000/XP platforms.
You must install the latest release of the CDM drivers in order to run this application. (Refer to
the MPROG User’s Guide for details on the program’s use.)
4.0 QUICK START GUIDE
This guide requires the use of a Windows 7/Vista/2000/XP PC that is equipped with a USB port.
1. Download the WHQL-certified CDM device drivers from either www.dlpdesign.com or
www.ftdichip.com . Unzip the drivers onto a blank floppy disk or into a folder on the hard drive.
Note : The DLP-2232MSPF can be configured to receive its operating power from the USB port or
from user electronics. Pins 19 and 20 allow for this configuration. (Refer to the Pinout Description
in the next section for details on the DLP-2232MSPF electrical interface.)
**The board will not operate until a power source has been connected.**
2. Connect the DLP-2232MSPF board to the PC via a standard A-B, 6-foot USB cable. This action
initiates loading of the USB drivers. When prompted, select the folder where the CDM device
drivers were stored in Step 1. Windows will then complete the installation of the device drivers for
the DLP-2232MSPF board. The next time the DLP-2232MSPF board is attached, the host PC will
immediately load the correct drivers without any prompting. Reboot the PC if prompted to do so.
The DLP-2232MSPF is shipped with default VID, PID, etc. values programmed into the
EEPROM memory. You only need to run MPROG if you want to change the default values.
At this point, the DLP-2232MSPF is ready for use. Note that the DLP-2232MSPF will appear
non-responsive if data sent from the host PC is not read from the FT2232H device by the
MSP430FR5739 microcontroller. The token firmware with which the DLP-2232MSPF comes
preloaded will read data sent by the host by default. Custom user firmware should also follow this
protocol.
