Software for writing (programming) and reading a QSPI flash (MT25QU128ABA8ESF-0SIT) using a USB FTDI development module (UMFT4222EV), which has FT4222H.

Description

Computer software is required to communicate with the UMFT4222EV through a USB connection. With a board that connects UMFT4222EV to MT25QU128ABA8ESF-0SIT, one can then communicate with the MT25QU128ABA8ESF-0SIT through the USB connection. This repository provides the software required for commuicating with the UMFT4222EV, which then communicates with MT25QU128ABA8ESF-0SIT through the QSPI interface.

Installation for mac

Step 1. Install the FT4222H library and dependencies

Step 1.1 Download the FT4222H library

Download the Mac OSX FT4222H library, which can be found at https://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT4222H.html. Move relevent files to appropriate folders

mkdir downloads; cd downloads
wget https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/SoftwareExamples/LibFT4222-mac-v1.4.2.184.zip
unzip LibFT4222-mac-v1.4.2.184.zip
hdiutil attach libft4222.1.4.2.184.dmg
cd ../
mkdir lib
cp /Volumes/ft422/libft4222.1.4.2.184.dylib lib
mkdir include #if not already there
cp /Volumes/ft422/*.h include
hdiutil detach /Volumes/ft422

Step 1.2 Install the boost library (v1.66) that is requried for the FT4222H library

cd downloads
wget -O boost_1_66_0.tar.gz https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.66.0/boost_1_66_0.tar.gz/download
tar -xvf boost_1_66_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_66_0
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$(pwd)/../../boost-1.66.0
./b2
./b2 install

Step 2. Setup the environment and make the software

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib/:$PWD/boost-1.66.0/lib${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
make

Step 3. Run software
