this message will likely not be threaded into the original in the archives.
In the email in this thread on 12-Mar-09 from Jim Paris and in the FTDI
datasheet, I see mention of setting the latency timer to 77 (decimal)
milliseconds to program the FT245R. The patch appears to set it to 0x77
(hex) ms.
I assume the value of 77ms is a minimum and 0x77 seems to work fine too,
but I wanted to point this out in case it matters to anyone.
Hi Karl,
I'm aware of this discrepency -- it's from the FTDI document at
http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/AppNotes/AN_105_FTDI_Device_Programming_Using_Vinculum_VNC1L(FT_000078).pdf
which says 77ms. I'm pretty sure this is just a typo, and it should
have read 119ms.
0x77 is the number we want, since that's what the AN-105 example code
shows, it's what MPROG uses under Windows, and it's what the D2XX
Linux drivers use in FT_EE_Program.
Thanks,

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.
I can report that the current repository version of libftdi is working
well programming the FT245R part.
Thanks.
Karl
