Yahya Tawil wrote a tutorial about flashing EFM32 MCUs with OpenOCD using FT2232H adapter: Learn how to make flashing your ARM-based MCU easy by using OpenOCD debugger with an FT2232H adapter. Old MCUs from vendors like ATMEL and MICROCHIP, like the PIC16F and Atmega family, tend to have a special programming interface to program internal […]

3D Model: FT2232H Breakout Board v1a
Today’s 3D model is the FT2232H Breakout Board v1a. This is a breakout with a FT2232H high-speed dual-channel USB-to-serial chip that has two JTAG debug channels. Get one for $27. Check out our tutorial on how to build 3D models from Cadsoft Eagle board files, as well as the tutorial on how to render life […]
Using the FT2232H bit bang mode
What to learn more about controlling the common FTDI FT232 and FT2232 chips from a PC? Daniel shows how to drive a shift register with the FT2232H breakout board under Linux. This basic app can expand to control large projects that need lots of computer scripted outputs. Control an 8bit shift register over 3 pins […]
Bus Blaster hack: Flashing a PC BIOS chip
Zougloub modified the Bus Blaster V2 somewhat and successfully flashed a PC BIOS chip. By using the onboard FTDI FT2232H chip in SPI mode, and slightly modifying the CPLD logic, he successfully established a link to the BIOS chip. He was now able to update his BIOS and use a processor with his motherboard that […]
App Note: Using FT2232H in FT245 synchronus FIFO mode
Ftdi’s FT2232H chip is a very useful device, it has two USB channels supporting the High speed USB standard. When the highest bandwidth is needed, the FT245 synchronous FIFO mode provides the best performance delivering up to 40MB/s transfer rates. This app note by FTDI provides all the necessary information to get this mode started. […]
Forked Bus Blaster FT2232H + CPLD JTAG programmer
irrenhaus finished his forked Bus Blaster v2 design. Like the BBv2, this board has a FT2232 USB->JTAG chip and a CPLD buffer. It uses a bigger 100pin CPLD, with enough IO to connect to every pin of the FT2232. The extra connections are used to supports the SWO feature of the new 2-wire SWD JTAG […]
Week in (p)review: February 27, 2011
Don’t forget to share your current project in the comments or the forum. This week our favorite project gets a free SOIC protoboard. Here’s a summary of major developments over the last week: A new Bus Blaster v1 JTAG debugger was released Check out Dogsbody’s Demon Core v3.07 for the Logic Sniffer. We also released […]
Bus Blaster v2 inspired JTAG debugger
irrenhaus posted a JTAG debugger design inspired by the Bus Blaster v2: I was developing my own version of a JTAG programmer with the FT2232H as I saw this project here. I liked the Idea with the CPLD very much and I’d love to play with CPLD’s or FPGA’s so I decided to adopt this […]
Free PCB Sunday: FT2232H breakout board
We go through a lot of prototype PCBs, and end up with lots of extras that we’ll never use. Every Sunday we give away a few PCBs from one of our past or future projects, or a related prototype. Our PCBs are made through Seeed Studio’s Fusion board service. This week we’re giving away two […]
