Does anybody know how to access the eeprom again under ubuntu 8.04? I modified the vendor and product id in example.conf for ftdi- eeprom, but the chip is not found.


I assume that by "non-accessible", you mean that ftdi_usb_open() with your 0000/0000 IDs returns < 0. If so, which error number does it return? (see ftdi_usb_open_desc() for docs)

I also assume that you already tried MProg under Windows and that this one also fails.

Then I would try the following:
o Check a usb device prober on your system to see that the device is enumerated by the OS
o Look at ftdi_usb_open_desc()
  - Debug this function and see if your device is enumerated by libusb
- If the enumeration works and your device IDs match, look at exactly what fails in that function and
    see if the problem is obvious (or report your findings here).

Good luck ;)
