Bought 5 FTDI Basic clone at $1.1 each. Pretty sure it is using fake FT232RL. Anyway to verify?pic.twitter.com/OlqdqepAV0

I have some FT232 chip purchased way before fake was surfaced. Supposedly I can swap them in. Should be cheaper than I spin a new PCB for this.
Try this: https://marcan.st/transf/ftdi_clone_tool.py … It'll detect clones, and also fix them if they're bricked by windows drivers. At least clones from that time; for all I know they've since fixed the EEPROM behavior to look genuine.

I received some samples.
@marcan42's utility detect them as genuine (or better clone). All units had serial number as 00000000. FT Prog is able to reprogram the chip. Silkscreen shows they are from different batch. Maybe leftovers?pic.twitter.com/K1dhmnJsyM

Those visually look genuine, though of course it's hard to guarantee. Genuine units, however, ought to ship with real serial numbers AFAIK, so that's a red flag. Could be better clones.
