Discussion - Hardware / FT4232H using MPSSE for I2C on channel B
« on: January 24, 2019, 11:24:15 PM »
I am trying to modify the AN_411 example project to talk to some I2C power monitors using Channel B of FT4232H. In the app note, it briefly talks about how to modify the code to use Channel B instead.

Code: [Select]
7.1.4 Multiple Channels
Note that the functions Send_Data, Receive_Data and FlushBuffer are hard-coded to an FTDI device
instance opened at the beginning of the program as the code assumes the use of only one MPSSE
channel.
e.g. ftStatus = myFtdiDevice.Write(MPSSEbuffer, NumBytesToSend, ref NumBytesSent);
If the code requires multiple MPSSE channels (e.g. if implementing two I2C Masters on an FT2232H
device from the same application) then each channel would be opened with a different instance and this
example code would either require a Send_Data function per device or to pass in the device reference to
Send_Data.
Open: ftStatus = myFtdiDeviceCHA.OpenByIndex(0);
ftStatus = myFtdiDeviceCHB.OpenByIndex(1);
Example of writing data to channel A:
ftStatus = myFtdiDeviceCHA.Write(MPSSEbuffer, NumBytesToSend, ref NumBytesSent);

So in the source code, I did a search and replace for "myFtdiDevice." and replaced with "myFtdiDeviceCHB." and changed the

Code: [Select]
ftStatus = myFtdiDevice.OpenByIndex(0);
to

Code: [Select]
ftStatus = myFtdiDeviceCHB.OpenByIndex(1);
However, when it runs, it crashes at the bottom line when it goes to enable MPSSE mode:

Code: [Select]
            ftStatus = FTDI.FT_STATUS.FT_OK;
            ftStatus |= myFtdiDeviceCHB.SetTimeouts(5000, 5000);
            ftStatus |= myFtdiDeviceCHB.SetLatency(16);
            ftStatus |= myFtdiDeviceCHB.SetFlowControl(FTDI.FT_FLOW_CONTROL.FT_FLOW_RTS_CTS, 0x00,0x00);
            ftStatus |= myFtdiDeviceCHB.SetBitMode(0x00, 0x00);
            ftStatus |= myFtdiDeviceCHB.SetBitMode(0x00, 0x02);         // MPSSE mode     

Code: [Select]

Any suggestion on what the problem could be or how to resolve this? Really need channel B to be working, channel A will be wired to something else for SWD to MCU.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
