I have a question related to how one can
distinguish between the devices when there are multiples of the
same FTDI devices plugged into a USB hub?
I suspect the answer is to program the FTDI devices with a
unique name in its EEPROM, but is there a way short of that
how I can identify what device is plugged in where?
Simple example. I have two temperature I2C devices that
have the same fixed I2C address. I need to use two FTDI
devices to talk to each of these. One I2C device is in the
front of my boat the other in the back. If I always plugged
the front FTDI USB device in the same port on the USB hub and
the back one also into a particular port could I that way know
which device is which and, if so, how can I identify the usb
port with the libftdi? Would this mechanism work even if I
plugged and unplugged the devices in at different times, but
always to their assigned port.
Any suggestions how to best do this greatly appreciated.
