configuring FTDI chip using MProg in DE1 (for FvM)

with the MPROG utility you can clone an ftdi chip

so if you have a working one, just connect it, start MPROG use SCAN then READ without parsing. save the content. disconnect the working one and replace it with the target one. now perfrom a new scan with MPROG then open the saved contend and programm it.

now the device should work again, but be aware of that both are now identical and therefore cannot be used at the same time. if you want to use both at thesame time then you need to parse the information and modify one of the IDs (no idea out of my head which one) and programm the modified information.

as FvM said, i don'T think you can destroy the device.
