| Recent versions of [[flashrom]] support the '''-p ft2232spi''' option which allows you to use a '''FTDI FT2232H/FT4232H''' based device as external SPI programmer.
| | {{#externalredirect: https://www.flashrom.org/supported_hw/supported_prog/ft2232_spi.html }} |
| | |
| This is made possible by using [http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/ libftdi]. flashrom autodetects the presence of libftdi headers and enables FT2232H/FT4232H support if they are available.

| == Setup ==
| |
| | |
| * You must connect '''pins 8 and 9''', which configures the device to be powered by USB. Without this connection it will not be powered, and thus not be detected by your OS (e.g. it will not appear in the '''lsusb''' output).
| |
| * You need a 3.3V voltage regulator and two capacitors (e.g. 100nF and 10uF, but slightly different values should also work) to convert the 5V from USB to 3.3V, so you can power the 3.3V SPI BIOS chip.
| |
| ** TODO: Details
| |
| * Connect the following pins from the DLP-USB1232H to the SPI BIOS chip:
| |
| ** '''18 (SK)''' to '''SCLK'''
| |
| ** '''16 (DO)''' to '''SI'''
| |
| ** '''2 (DI)''' to '''SO'''
| |
| ** '''5 (CS)''' to '''CS#'''
| |
| ** The '''WP# and HOLD#''' pins should be tied to '''VCC'''.
| |
| ** All '''GND''' pins should be connected together ('''pins 1 and 10''' on the DLP-USB1232H, '''pin 8''' on the SPI chip, '''pin 1''' on the voltage regulator)
| |
| | |
| You have to invoke flashrom with the following parameters:
| |
| | |
| $ '''flashrom -p ft2232spi:ft2232_type=2232:port=A'''
