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
FT245RL & FT245RQ
FT2232D, FT2232C & FT2232L
FT232BM, FT232BL & FT232BQ
FT245BM, FT245BL & FT245BQ
FT8U232AM
FT8U245AM
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 26 , PID 26 , Serial Number 28 ,
Manufacturer Descriptor 36 and Product Descriptor 36 . 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.

Installing D2XX (CDM) Drivers
Full directions for how to install D2XX drivers for FTDI devices are provided in the appropriate
driver installation guide available from the FTDI web site. Sample instructions are given below for
a Windows 2000 installation, but other Windows versions are very similar.
While MProg uses the D2XX interface, FT232R, FT245R and FT2232 devices that are
programmed to load a virtual COM port will also load the COM port from the CDM drivers. As BM
and AM series devices do not have an EEPROM setting for this, they will install a COM port
automatically.
· If a device of the same type has been installed on your machine before and the drivers that are
about to be installed are different from those installed already, the original drivers need to be
uninstalled. Please refer to the appropriate driver installation guide for details of how to do this.
· Download the latest available CDM drivers from the FTDI web site and unzip them to a location
on your PC.
· Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. If the device is based on an FT2232
device, the Microsoft composite device driver is automatically loaded first.
· Once the composite driver has been installed the Found New Hardware Wizard will launch.
Click "Next" to proceed with the installation.

Modes of Operation
20
MProg has 3 modes of operation: Idle Mode, Program Mode and Edit Mode. MProg programming
parameters are saved in files referred to here as EEPROM templates. Once defined, these
EEPROM templates can be loaded by MProg and used to program EEPROMs.
· Idle Mode is the initial mode of operation when the program is launched.
· Edit Mode is used to edit the settings of a EEPROM template.
· Program Mode is used to Program and Erase the device EEPROM(s).
When MProg is launched, it is initially in Idle Mode and the screen will look like this.
User choices in Idle Mode are:
· Create a new EEPROM template. This will change the mode to Edit Mode and allow the user to
select the parameters for their project. The new EEPROM Template must then be saved to disk
which will then put MProg into Program Mode.
· Open an existing EEPROM template. This will set the MProg parameters to that of the selected

template and put MProg into Program mode, ready to Program devices.
· Scan the USB Bus for available devices. MProg will report how many programmed and blank
devices are attached to the target PC.

to enter any values.
· FTDI Supplied PID. If you wish to use FTDI's Vendor ID and FTDI have supplied you with a
Product ID for use with your products, please enter the Product ID supplied by FTDI (a 4 digit
hexadecimal number) in the Product ID box provided. If you wish to use FTDI's Product ID and
do not have a unique Product ID assigned for you by FTDI then please e-mail
[email protected] with your request. There is no charge for this service to bona-fide FTDI
customers.
· Other VID & PID. If you have your own USB Vendor ID and Product ID for your device, then this
option will allow the user to enter both the USB VID and USB PID for your product in the boxes
provided.
Note that if non-standard VID and/or PID values are used the driver INF and INI files must be
modified to accommodate the new VID and PID combination. Please refer to the Appendix
of this manual for the modifications that should be made.

USB Power Options
Details of the USB device power requirements can be set in the USB Power Options section.
Select Bus Powered (the product gets it's power from USB) or Self Powered (the product has it's
own power supply) from the power options. The Max Bus Power value defaults to 100mA for a
Bus Powered product and 0mA for a Self Powered product, however these are only default values
and can be changed by entering a new value in the Max Bus Power field. A summary of the rules
and options are given below:
All USB Devices
· The maximum current that can be supplied over the USB bus without violating the USB
specification is 500mA. Do not enter a value of more than 500mA in the Max Bus Power field.
· On plug-in, no USB product is allowed to consume more than 100mA from the USB bus until
USB enumeration is complete i.e. the product and it's USB drivers are successfully loaded by the
host PC. Special care has to be taken in the case of high power Bus Powered products,
however the PWREN# pin of the BM series devices simplifies such designs.
Bus Powered USB Devices
These fall into two categories:
· Low power bus powered products. These products consume 100mA or less from the USB bus
and can be plugged into any USB host or hub port.
· High power bus powered products. These products consume between 101mA and 500mA from
the USB bus and can be plugged into any USB host. However, such products can only be
plugged into self powered USB hubs (hubs that have thir own power supply) as bus powered
USB hubs can only supply 100mA per hub port.
Self Powered USB Devices
These fall into two categories:
· True self powered products. These products have their own power supply and do not require
any current from the USB bus. Enter a value of zero in the Max Bus Power field.
· Hybrid self powered products. These products have their own power supply, but also draw some
of their operating current from the USB bus. Enter the current draw from the USB bus in the Max
Bus Power field.

USB Serial Number Control
USB products have the ability to embed a unique serial number for each product into the low level
descriptors that are accessed by the host controller drivers when the product is plugged into the
USB bus. In turn, the serial number of a product can be used to identify the product. The device
serial number can be set through the USB Serial Number Control panel.
MProg can generate unique serial numbers automatically for you (recommended). These consist
of a 2 letter prefix (e.g. FT) followed by 6 alphanumeric digits generated using an algorithm based
on the date and time of programming the device. It is also possible to fix the serial number to a
fixed 8-digit alphanumeric string, however we do not recommend this as systems will only
recognise the first instance of such a device connected to a PC.

USB Remote Wake Up
FT8U232AM and FT232BM devices are capable of resuming a PC from the USB suspend (sleep)
state via the RI# pin. FT245BM also has this capability via a dedicated pin (SI/WU), as does the
FT2232C (SI/WUA, SI/WUB). FT8U245AM does not have support for remote wake up. To use
the remote wake-up capability, enable this option by checking the box.

Plug & Play (FT232 Series Only)
Windows Plug and Play (PnP) - for general purpose USB to RS232 serial converters it is desirable
that the device tries to recognise any attached secondary peripheral that conforms to the Windows
Plug and Play standard. These devices are typically modems, or serial mice. On recognition of
such a device Windows will attempt to identify and load the drivers for the secondary peripheral.
For other application areas PNP is not usually required so this option should be turned off.

MProg 2 User Manual
BM/C Device Specific Options
The FT232BM and FT245BM 2nd generation devices and FT2232C 3rd generation device have
some additional options compared to the AM devices. These options can be controlled via the
optional EEPROM.
· USB Version Number. The BM and C series devices have the option to set the USB version
number to USB 1.1 or USB 2.0. This has no effect on the functionality of the device, however for
USB compliance testing we recommend that you choose the USB 2.0 setting. For AM series
devices the version number is hard coded to USB 1.1.
· Disable the USB serial number. This allows multiple identical USB devices to be plugged into
the same host PC. However, it is then impossible for the USB drivers to uniquely identify the
devices. We recommend that for most applications, this option is not selected.
· Pull Down IO Pins in USB suspend. BM and C devices feature a Power Control Pin (PWREN#).
This pin can be used to control power to external peripheral circuitry via a P-Channel MOSFET.
When used in this way, select this option to minimize the USB suspend current, otherwise leave
this option unselected. See the product data sheets, application schematics and designers
guides for more details.

FT2232C Device Options
The FT2232C incorporates all of the BM specific features described in the
BM/C Device Specific Options 31 section. It also has the following additional options which can be
configured in the external EEPROM. These options will only be displayed when the device type in
basic details is set to FT2232C.
· Each channel can be independently configured as FT232BM-style USB UART or a FT245BMstyle USB FIFO.
· Each channel can also be individually configured in Fast Opto-Isolated Serial Interface mode.
See the FT2232C device datasheet (available from the Datasheets page of the FTDI website)
for more information on these modes.
· High Current I/O's. Setting this option will enable the high output drive level. The UART/FIFO IO
pins will drive out at 12mA instead of their normal 4mA.

Changing the FTDIBUS.INF File
If you are using a VID and PID which is different from the default FTDI ones (VID = 0x0403 and
PID = 0x6001 and 0x6010), you must edit the FTDIBUS.INF file using a text editor such as
NotePad. You will need to add extra lines into the [FtdiHw] and [ControlFlags] sections containing
the new VID and PID. You should also add a description of your product into the [Strings] section
as shown.
Do not change any other parts of the supplied INF files unless you are an expert and
capable of debugging the results for yourself.
The following example shows a new device with a VID of 0x1234 and a PID of 0x5678 which we
shall call "My New USB Device". In this example, the additional lines are shown in red to highlight
them. If the device you are adding is an FT2232C or FT2232D, an entry must be created for each
of the ports.

Changing the FTDIPORT.INF File
If you are using a VID and PID which is different from the default FTDI ones (VID = 0x0403 and
PID = 0x6001 and 0x6010), you must edit the FTDIPORT.INF file using a text editor such as
NotePad. You will need to add an extra line into the [FtdiHw] section containing the new VID and
PID. You should also add a description of your product into the [Strings] section as shown.
Do not change any other parts of the supplied INF files unless you are an expert and
capable of debugging the results for yourself.
The following example shows a new device with a VID of 0x1234 and a PID of 0x5678 which we
shall call "My New USB Device". In this example, the additional lines are shown in red to highlight
them. If the device you are adding is an FT2232C or FT2232D, an entry must be created for each
of the ports.

Changing the CDM Uninstaller INI Files
If you are using a VID and PID which is different from the default FTDI ones (VID = 0x0403 and
PID = 0x6001), you must edit the uninstaller FTDIUN2K.INI files using a text editor such as
NotePad. In the [Uninstall] section of each file, edit the line
Device=VID_0403&PID_6001
to reflect the actual VID and PID used.
The following example shows a new device with a VID of 0x1234 and a PID of 0x5678. In this
example, the altered line is shown in red to highlight it.
