Hey all.
Since this is my first post in the forum, I will quickly introduce myself. I am Oliver and a Linux geek for about 15 yrs now.
I am using TUMPA Lite - Adapter for a while now and I like to "play around" with it and some simple circuits I soldered (e.g. I2C etc).
Just wanted the forum mods to create a sticky for other linux users :
If you want to use newer versions of the ftdi_sio modules together with TUMPA adapters, you have to pass the vid/pid parameters via echo`ing them to a /sys/bus address like so (with tumpalite vid/pid ) :
echo '0403 8a99' > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
syslog-output of successful attachment of tumpa to ttyUSB0 :

I will add another topic now, on how to access MX2C 25L3206E 4MB EEPRom (used by Cloud IBox 3 and derivates) with TUMPA Lite Adapter and flashrom.
