Program the FT232R

As default, the FT232R acts as serial port. But Tucnak uses Libftdi to access it in bitbang mode. Default VID:PID must be changed to distinguish Davac from other USB serial ports.

Linux

Use ft232r_prog.

Usage:

# ft232r_prog --new-vid 0xa600 --new-pid 0xe110 --manufacturer OK1ZIA --product 'Davac 4.0'
...
Rewriting eeprom with new contents.

Now replug the device

# lsusb
...
Bus 002 Device 007: ID a600:e110 Asix OK1ZIA Davac 4.x
#

In the case of mistake, use --old-vid and --old-pid. AFAIK this can be used also to fix fake FT232 bricked by Windows FTDI drivers.
