Identifying FTDI URLs

Certain Efinity® scripts contain the --url and --aurl options, which require the input of an FTDI URL.

Important: You only need to specify the --url and --aurl options if you have more than one board with an FTDI chip connected to your computer.
Only supported in T20 (BGA324 and BGA400), T35, T55, and T120 FPGAs.

The FTDI URL is in the format:

ftdi://ftdi:<product>:<serial>/<interface>

where:

<product> is the USB product ID of the device
<product> Board
232h Trion T8 Development Board
2232h Trion T20 MIPI Development Board
Trion T20 BGA256 Development Board
Trion T120 BGA324 Development Board
Trion T120 BGA576 Development Board
4232h Xyloni Development Board
4232h Titanium Ti60 BGA225 Development Board
Titanium Ti375C529 Development Board
Titanium Ti375N1156 Development Board
2232h Titanium Ti180J484 Development Board
2232h Topaz Tz170J484 Development Board
<serial> is the serial number of the FTDI chip. (Optional)
  • If you only have one Efinix® development board or FTDI device connected to your computer, you do not need to specify the serial number.
  • In the Efinity® software v2020.2 and higher, the Programmer displays the serial number of the FTDI device in the USB Info string. The serial number is a string beginning with FT.

<interface> is the interface number. For Efinix® development boards, <interface> is always 1.
