driver that communicates with the FT245RL device via the Windows USB stack and a DLL that
interfaces the application software (written in VC++, C++ Builder, Delphi, VB, etc.) to the WDM
driver. An INF installation file, uninstaller program, and D2XX Programmer’s Guide complete the
package.
The D2XX direct drivers add support for simultaneous access and control of multiple FT245RL
devices. The extended open function (FT_OpenEx) allows the device to be opened either by its
product description or serial number, both of which can be programmed to be unique. The list
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.
EEPROM WRITE UTILITY
The DLP-245PB-G 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 the PID
identifiers, the manufacturer's product string, and a serial number.
MPROG is the latest EEPROM serializer and testing utility from FTDI for the FT245RL device.
MPROG is based on the new D2XX drivers and will work on Windows 98, Windows ME, and
Windows 2000/XP platforms. You must install the latest release of the D2XX drivers in order to
run this application. (Refer to the MPROG user’s guide for details on the program’s use.)
If you have VCP drivers installed on the PC that will be used to perform the EEPROM memory,
you must uninstall these drivers using the Add-Remove-Program and install the D2XX drivers
prior to running the MPROG.
