Hello,

I have tested this out on our Windows 10 PC and couldn’t replicate the behaviour.

There is also a shortcut created on the desktop 'FT9xx Programming Utility' which can be run to invoke the programmer.

Hello, yes that is strange.

The shortcut on the desktop basically calls FT900Prog GUI Launcher.bat from that location anyway.
You can see this by right-clicking and looking at the shortcut properties.

Hello,

You must have active D2XX firmware programmed into the FT9xx.

You can test this by programming the D2XX Example 1 found in AN_360 FT9xx Example Applications.

When programming is complete, plug in the USB device port to the PC and allow for the USB ports to enumerate. The drivers should load automatically via Windows Update.

Now run the FT9xx Programming Utility and if you load the D2XX tab you will see the D2XX data.

Hello,

There are two ways to program the FT9xx MCUs with custom firmware using the FT9xx Programming Utility:

• Using the UMFTPD2A debugger/programmer module
• Using the USB DFU interface via the USB device interface (no need for the UMFTPD2A)

USB DFU programming can be a good option for production or field programming, since the user simply needs to plug the USB device port into the PC and there is no need to connect via the UMFTPD2A. It's not recommended for test and development stage of a project, since the USB DFU interface needs to be available in the application firmware. programming a device without this interface would mean the USB DFU interface is not available for subsequent programming.

Note the .bin file must be prepared before it can be used for DFU programming.
More detail on the DFU Programming options can be found within the FT9xx Programming Utility’s About --> Help menu.
The Add/Customize DFU-suffix (DFU binary) option provides this functionality.

However, if the application code doesn't include a USB DFU interface, it will not be available after programming.
More information can be found on the USB DFU interface in AN_365 FT9xx API Programmers Manual.
The GPIO DFU example in AN_360 FT9xx Example Applications is a good place to learn about this.

Hello,

You managed to get the REG_TRACKER location right, but the REG_TRACKER_x locations were wrong.

Can you try the following:
REG_TRACKER   0x309000
REG_TRACKER_1 0x309004
REG_TRACKER_2 0x309008
REG_TRACKER_3 0x30900c
REG_TRACKER_4 0x309010

Hello,

The development team confirmed that this is a bug and will be fixed in the next EAB release, EAB 1.1.
EAB 1.1 is due out in the coming weeks.
