5.0  EEPROM WRITE UTILITY 

 

The DLP-USB245R has the option to accept manufacturer-specific information that is written 
into EEPROM memory.  Parameters that can be programmed include the VID and the PID 
identifiers, the manufacturer's product string and a serial number. 
 
MPROG is the latest EEPROM programming utility for the FT245R device.  You must install the 
latest release of the CDM drivers in order to run this application.  If you have CDM drivers 
installed on the PC that is to perform the EEPROM write process, you can run MPROG and 
update the EEPROM contents with either mode (VCP or D2XX) active. 
 

 

6.0  QUICK START GUIDE 

 

This guide requires the use of a Windows XP/Vista PC that is equipped with a USB port. 

 
1.  Download the CDM device drivers from either 

www.dlpdesign.com

 or 

www.ftdichip.com

.  

Unzip the drivers into a folder on the hard drive. 

 
2.  Connect the DLP-USB245R board to the PC via a USB ‘A’ to mini-B cable. This action 

initiates the loading of the USB drivers.  When prompted, select the folder where the device 
drivers were stored in Step 1.  Windows will then complete the installation of the device 
drivers for the DLP-USB245R module.  The next time the DLP-USB245R module is 
attached, the host PC will immediately load the correct drivers without any prompting.  
Reboot the PC if prompted to do so. 

 
At this point, the DLP-USB245R is ready for use.  Note that the DLP-USB245R will appear non-
responsive if data sent from the host PC is not read from the FT245R device by an attached 
microcontroller, microprocessor, DSP, FPGA, ASIC, etc.
