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

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.

Well the EEPROM content looks like this. I need to replace it with a genuine blank chip to compare.pic.twitter.com/HacF96dr2z

it's possible that these were programmed with an all-zero serial (e.g. someone didn't bother with serial generation but still flashed them). The ALYNJEB4 at the end looks like it could be a factory serial (outside the descriptor area)?
