Running ovctl

Usage info:

~/ov_ftdi/software/host $ ./ovctl.py -h
usage: ovctl.py [-h] [--pkg PKG] [-l] [--verbose] [--config-only]
                
                {uwrite,uread,report,sdramtest,sniff,debug-stream,ioread,iowrite,led-test,eep-erase,eep-program,lb-test}
                ...

positional arguments:
  {uwrite,uread,report,sdramtest,sniff,debug-stream,ioread,iowrite,led-test,eep-erase,eep-program,lb-test}

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --pkg PKG, -p PKG
  -l, --load
  --verbose, -v
  --config-only, -C

Command usage:

• sniff {ls,fs,hs}

  This command will stream out a textual representation of USB traffic to stdout, based on the speed parameter (low-speed, full-speed, high-speed)

Board testing:

• report

  Runs a self-test on the ULPI phy and SDRAM. Use this to make sure your board was correctly assembled.

• led-test

  This command expects an integer parameter 0..7, which will specify the state of the 3 status LEDs.

• sdramtest

  Deprecated; do not use

Firmware development:

• uwrite
• uread
• debug-stream
• ioread
• iowrite
• lb-test

Provisioning (DANGEROUS):

• eep-erase

  Reset the FT2232H EEPROM to unprogrammed status; this will reset the VID/PID to 0403/6010 and may cause problems unless you unload the FTDI kernel driver.

• eep-program <serialno>

  Programs the correct OV3 USB descriptor into EEPROM, including the serial number and FPGA type.
