FTDI Driver

To detect the FTDI device, install the extra module package:

apt install linux-image-extra-`uname -r`

Then either reboot, or manually load the module

modprobe ftdi_sio

Find with:

/dev/ttyUSB0

FTDI Programming

apt install ftdi-eeprom
modprobe -r ftdi_sio
ftdi_eeprom --read-eeprom asmith.conf
modprobe ftdi_sio
tio /dev/ttyUSB0

that means that the EEPROM is erased (all 0xff); see ftdi_read_eeprom() in ftdi.c: "Guesses size of eeprom ... will not work with blank eeprom"

> Checksum Error: aaaa 0000 > Malloc failed, aborting

these errors follow from EEPROM size being -1

with an erased EEPROM the FTDI chip falls back to the default vendor:product (which is 0403:6011)

After updating the EEPROM, you should unplug and replug the board.
