Confirmed that @FTDIChip's brick function will brick a *legitimate* FT2232H (their driver only calls it for FT232RL chips specifically).

@marcan42@talldarknweirdo@FTDIChip How can you confirm it is a *legitimate* FT232H? Did you buy it from FTDI?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ChilliTronix@talldarknweirdo@FTDIChip This behavior is exactly what I expected from an engineering POV. I'm not aware of clone FT2232Hs.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@marcan42@talldarknweirdo@FTDIChip I agree, and I am not aware of clones but can you certify the source of the chips?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ChilliTronix@talldarknweirdo@FTDIChip I'm pretty sure this one came from Digi-Key. You figure out how much you trust them.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@marcan42@talldarknweirdo Well, I would trust them... So@FTDIChip appear to have messed up then!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ChilliTronix@talldarknweirdo@FTDIChip Their driver won't actually run it for FT2232Hs... but fun that they agree with the clone behavior!2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ChilliTronix@talldarknweirdo Essentially, the FT232RL's 32bit EEPROM thing is itself a not-quite-compatible hack which clones didn't need.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ChilliTronix@talldarknweirdo No. My point is that their bricker code would brick non-232RL chips *if it weren't checking for 232RL only*.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@ChilliTronix @talldarknweirdo IOW, FTDI's chips *except* the 232RL behave the same as the clones. But they check for 232RL before bricking.

@marcan42@talldarknweirdo So if you change the PID on a bricked 232RL to the PID for a 232H, will it work? I wonder...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @ChilliTronix
@ChilliTronix@talldarknweirdo No, because they don't use the PID to determine the chip type, they use bcdDevice which is not changeable.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes - Show replies
